In this episode of AA Recovery Interviews, Howard L. sits down with Elliott M., a former rock musician whose life was a whirlwind of sex, drugs, and rock & roll. Elliott's rise to stardom was paralleled by his descent into alcoholism, but his best songwriting and performances were ironically free from substances. Offstage, however, his drinking and drug use wreaked havoc on his life.
The turning point came with a simple AA questionnaire handed to him by the woman who would become his wife. Elliott's journey into sobriety began in 1985, and since then, he's amassed over 40 albums and relocated to Paris, where he remains active in the AA community. This episode offers a raw and honest look at Elliott's life before and after sobriety, highlighting the challenges he faced and the victories he achieved.
His story is a testament to the power of AA and the importance of maintaining sobriety one day at a time. Whether you're struggling with addiction or supporting someone who is, Elliott's journey is both relatable and inspiring. Tune in to hear how he transformed his life and continues to thrive in sobriety.
