My recovery Today looks very different than it did day one year one. You know, I'm not drowning anymore, I'm in that life, I'm in that life boat now.

Ever wondered how a DJ's life behind the turntables can be a rollercoaster of highs and lows? DJ Kelly Reverb's story is one you won't want to miss. Born and raised in Dallas, Texas, Kelly made waves in the music scene with his electro/breaks work and funky house styles on his label, Lone Star Records.

In this episode of 'Recovery Survey', Kelly opens up about his struggles and triumphs. He talks about the importance of accountability and support groups in his journey to sobriety.

He also highlights how podcasts like 'Recovery Survey' play a crucial role in breaking down the stigma around addiction and offering support to those in need. Kelly's story is a powerful reminder that no matter how deep the struggle, there's always hope for recovery.
