But if I listened to my music when I was on a stage drinking, what I thought was where we're ripping, it probably would have been horrific to listen back to.
Ever wondered how hitting rock bottom can turn into a life-changing experience? Meet Hat Fitz, the legendary blues musician known for his raw talent and wild persona. In this episode of 'How I Quit Alcohol,' host Danni Carr sits down with Fitz to explore his tumultuous relationship with alcohol and the incredible transformation that followed his decision to quit drinking.
Fitz shares candid stories from his days as a 'wild man' in the Aussie blues scene, where alcohol was as much a part of his identity as his music. But it wasn't all glamorous; the toll on his personal life and creativity was immense. Fitz talks about the moment he realized he had hit rock bottom and the journey that led him to sobriety.
Now living on the Sunshine Coast with his partner Cara and maintaining a strong bond with his kids, Fitz has found a new source of inspiration in his music, attributing much of his creative resurgence to his 19 years of sobriety. He doesn't just stop at sharing his struggles; Fitz also delves into the challenges of staying sober in an alcohol-centric culture and offers practical advice for those looking to make a similar change.
One of the most striking parts of Fitz's story is his advocacy for non-alcoholic drink alternatives. He believes that making sobriety 'cool' is not only possible but essential for those trying to break free from alcohol's grip. His journey from rock bottom to renewed musical inspiration serves as a powerful reminder that it's never too late to turn your life around.
Tune in to hear Hat Fitz's inspiring story and discover how quitting alcohol has not only saved his life but also revitalized his music.
