Sobriety is probably going to be late, it's going to suck, cause you're having so much fun right now with that, I know.
What happens when a rockstar decides to swap the stage lights for the light of sobriety? In this episode of Recovery Happy Hour, Tricia Lewis sits down with Wes Geer, a musician who knows the rollercoaster of addiction all too well. Geer dives into the difference between high-functioning and low-functioning drinking, shedding light on how addiction doesn’t discriminate. Whether you're managing a high-powered career or struggling to get through the day, his insights are eye-opening.
But it’s not just about identifying the problem; Geer shares his personal journey from the depths of addiction to the heights of recovery. He talks about the pivotal role that service work has played in maintaining his sobriety, emphasizing that giving back can be a lifeline for those in recovery. One of the most unique aspects of Geer’s story is how he’s woven his love for music into his recovery process.
He founded Rock to Recovery, a program that uses music as a therapeutic tool for those battling addiction. Through his story, Geer offers hope and practical advice for anyone looking to turn their life around. So, if you're curious about how music and service can transform your recovery journey, this episode is a must-listen.
