DJ Kelly Reverb's Journey: From Rave Culture to Recovery and Healing
Alcohol is the solution, but you're buying the vodka first and then you've got to make some look- okay, you know, for your wife, so she doesn't think that you're just plowing through, which she already knew.
DJ Kelly Reverb, known for lighting up the 90s rave scene with his high-energy beats, opens up about his personal battles and triumphs on 'This Pink Cloud'. In this episode, Kelly takes listeners on a raw and heartfelt journey through his struggles with addiction, the heartbreak of losing loved ones, and the road to recovery.
Far from the glitz and glamour of the DJ booth, Kelly reveals the gritty reality of navigating the music industry as an independent artist, especially in the age of mp3s, which stripped away the tactile joy of vinyl records. He doesn't shy away from discussing the slow and insidious grip of alcohol on his life and the tools he now uses to maintain his sobriety.
The episode takes a poignant turn as Kelly shares the deep grief he experienced after losing his stepdad and sister, and how these losses brought him to the brink. Yet, amid the darkness, he found a glimmer of hope through ayahuasca therapy, which played a pivotal role in his healing process. This episode isn't just about Kelly's story; it's a candid conversation that sheds light on the often unspoken aspects of recovery.
Whether you're grappling with addiction, supporting someone who is, or simply seeking an authentic narrative of resilience, this episode offers a powerful testament to the strength of the human spirit.
