Dave Kushner: Rock 'n' Roll, Recovery, and Redemption

If you think you're alcoholic, you probably are alcoholic. If you think you have a problem, you probably do.
Imagine growing up in the glitz and glamour of Hollywood, surrounded by some of the biggest names in music. That was Dave Kushner's reality. But before he became a Grammy-award winning musician, Dave had to face his own demons and find a way out of the party scene that threatened to consume him. In this episode of 'The Payoff with Pete', host Pete Sousa sits down with Dave to uncover the raw and emotional journey from addiction to sobriety.
Dave shares candidly about the shame, guilt, and hopelessness that marked his darkest days. He explains how his grandfather's struggles with alcoholism planted a seed in his mind that he might have a problem too. It wasn't until he hit rock bottom that he realized he needed to make a change. A pivotal moment came when his friend John introduced him to sobriety, not through judgment or pressure, but by leading by example.
Dave talks about how hesitant he was to attend meetings at first, but soon discovered that helping others was key to his own recovery. His story is a powerful reminder that addiction doesn't discriminate, and anyone can find themselves caught in its grip. But there's hope. Dave's journey underscores the importance of support and service in recovery. He encourages listeners to trust their instincts and seek help if they think they might have a problem.
His message is clear: if you think you're an alcoholic, you probably are, and it's never too early to get help. Tune in to hear Dave Kushner's inspiring tale of redemption and the vibrant life he's built in sobriety.
