I'm happy that I found something that works and like I'm going to work at as hard as possible, as hard as I work to get crack or run down the street at four, three in the morning to a gas station, an hour and a half away to get an hour, a mile and a half away to get a fucking lighter, so I can go back to my house smoke, crack, sweating and like covered in like black shit from the tinfoil I was holding, like I work it like that.
What happens when you mix punk rock, love, and a journey to sobriety? You get an unforgettable conversation with Ian Chambers on the 'Learning to Lose' podcast. Hosted by Patrick Ridge and his sponsor Billy, this episode dives into Ian's raw and honest experiences with addiction and recovery. From stealing needles from his diabetic father to inject meth, to driving high to his girlfriend's house, Ian doesn't hold back on the gritty details of his past.
But it's not all dark. Ian shares how he found his way to sobriety by focusing on what worked for him and putting as much effort into staying clean as he did into getting high. He talks about the powerful role punk rock played in his life, both as a performer and collaborator with some of the biggest names in the industry.
Through these experiences, Ian built a strong community of support around him, which he credits as crucial to his recovery. The conversation also touches on love and relationships in sobriety, with Ian emphasizing the importance of honesty and vulnerability. He encourages listeners to find what works for them and stay committed to their recovery journey, no matter how tough it gets.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in real conversations about mental health, addiction, and the pursuit of happiness.
