I already knew I didn't like it because I was always subconsciously trying to stop drinking like I, like I was drinking.
Imagine being a rising star in the music world, yet grappling with the heavy chains of addiction. This episode of 'One For The Road' features Canadian rapper Dax, known for his powerful tracks like 'Dear God' and 'Dear Alcohol'. Host David Wilson, aka SoberDave, sits down with Dax to discuss his turbulent relationship with alcohol, which began at the tender age of 17.
As Dax's career soared, so did his drinking habits, becoming an almost daily ritual, especially during the pandemic and his first year of touring. The release of 'Dear Alcohol' marked a pivotal moment for Dax, sparking his decision to embrace sobriety. Though he faced a relapse during a vacation, he's now back on track and over a month sober again.
In this candid conversation, Dax opens up about the struggles of addiction, the mental rewiring required to stay sober, and the profound impact sobriety has had on his music and life. He shares valuable insights on performing without alcohol and the mental clarity he's gained. Whether you're on your own sobriety journey or supporting someone who is, Dax's story offers hope and practical advice.
