The way I'm really validated today is when I am being of service and I get to see some lives touched and people changing a little bit and just knowing that I had a little tiny drop of a part of that change.
What happens when an award-winning composer and performer loses his creative spark to addiction? Skip Sams knows this struggle all too well. In this episode of 'Recovery Survey', Brett Morris chats with Skip, who has over 16 years of sobriety from crystal meth, alcoholism, and bipolar disorder. Diagnosed with HIV in 2004, Skip has faced more than his fair share of challenges. But instead of letting these diagnoses define him, he’s turned his journey into a mission to help others.
Skip's program, 'Making Amends with Your Muse', is designed to help musicians in recovery rediscover their passion and technical skills without relying on mind-altering substances. His goal? To light up the world with 10,000 recordings and 100,000 performances by 2030. Through his own story, Skip emphasizes the importance of being ready to stop using and finding purpose in your passions. This episode is a testament to the transformative power of creativity and resilience.
If you're a musician struggling with addiction or someone looking for a story of hope and recovery, this episode offers both inspiration and practical advice.
