Addicts especially, and alcoholics really like to think they're unique and that their struggles in life are just because they're addicts or alcoholics and they're not their human problems.
Ever wondered what happens when punk rock meets the world of addiction recovery? In this episode of 'Don't Die Podcast', Bob Forrest and Chuk are joined by Jack Grisham, the frontman of TSOL and an author, for a no-holds-barred chat. They tackle some heavy topics, starting with the dangers of benzodiazepines and the unique challenges of treating young addicts.
Bob shares his love-hate relationship with Budweiser beer and recounts tales of taking sober prospects out to the desert, blending personal anecdotes with broader insights into the recovery process. Jack Grisham brings his own raw perspective from the punk rock scene, discussing how music and subcultures can both hinder and help in the journey to sobriety. The trio also dives into the effectiveness of old-school 12-step programs and the importance of building a strong support network.
If you're looking for an honest, gritty discussion that doesn't shy away from the hard truths about addiction and recovery, this episode is for you.
