There's no end to the boundaries of musical creativity for me if I don't pick up a drug.
Picture this: you're a musician, surrounded by the glitz and glamour of the industry, but also by the ever-present temptations of substance use. In this compelling episode of 'One Hour AT A Time', host Mary Woods sits down with a group of creatives to unpack the unique hurdles they face on their path to sobriety.
Among the guests are John McAndrew, a talented pops/blues artist, and Jon Cohan and Shauna Guidici from Right Turn, a non-profit dedicated to helping artists recover from addiction and mental health issues. Together, they shed light on how the music industry’s pressures can exacerbate addiction, making the journey to recovery seem daunting. But it's not all doom and gloom. These guests share uplifting stories of finding new inspiration and creativity in their sober lives.
They emphasize the power of support networks and the critical role of dual diagnosis treatment for those dealing with both mental health challenges and substance abuse. Whether you're an artist yourself or someone supporting a creative in recovery, this episode offers a heartfelt look at overcoming adversity and finding new ways to thrive. Tune in to hear how these musicians are turning their struggles into songs of hope.
