But then, when you take away that crutch and your body, your brain, has a little bit of time to kind of heal itself, the highs and lows of life don't seem as terrifying, you know.
Imagine being at the pinnacle of musical success, only to watch it all slip away due to addiction and anxiety. In this episode of 'How I Quit Alcohol', host Danni Carr sits down with Ryan Dusick, the original drummer of Maroon 5, who shares his compelling journey from rockstar fame to recovery advocate.
Ryan opens up about the severe anxiety and nerve damage that led to his departure from the band, and how he turned to alcohol to numb the pain. His drinking spiraled out of control, sometimes reaching up to six bottles of wine a day. But Ryan's story doesn't end there. With the support of his girlfriend, he entered rehab and began the difficult path to sobriety.
Now an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist and a passionate mental health advocate, Ryan discusses the challenges of recovery, the importance of seeking help, and the transformative power of mindfulness meditation. He also touches on his soon-to-be-released memoir, 'Harder to Breathe', which chronicles his life with Maroon 5, his struggles, and his ultimate redemption. This episode is a raw and honest look at the highs and lows of addiction and recovery.
It's perfect for anyone struggling with similar issues or those who have loved ones battling addiction. Ryan's story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the possibility of finding hope and healing even in the darkest times.
