Ryan Dusick: From Maroon 5 Drummer to Addiction Recovery Advocate

I think for the longest time, while I was in my addiction, my relationship to music was extremely complicated and it was hard for me to remember when music was pure and innocent, fun and inspiration and passion, because it was wrapped up in so much pain and trauma for me, you know.
What happens when the drummer of one of the world's biggest bands faces addiction? In this episode of 'High While Clean', host Eric McCoy sits down with Ryan Dusick, the founding drummer of Maroon 5, to uncover his incredible journey from fame to recovery. Ryan's story isn't just about the glitz and glamour of touring the world; it's also about the dark struggles with addiction and anxiety that followed his departure from the band.
Ryan shares how his once-passionate relationship with music became entangled with pain and trauma. Leaving Maroon 5 wasn't just a career change; it was a life-altering event that led him down a path of substance abuse. But Ryan didn't let his struggles define him. Through therapy and self-compassion, he found a way to heal and move forward. Now a therapist himself, Ryan offers a unique perspective on the impact of success on mental health and addiction.
He emphasizes the importance of self-care and treating oneself with kindness. His message is clear: addiction often masks deeper emotional wounds, and recovery requires addressing these underlying issues. This episode is a testament to resilience and the power of personal transformation. Whether you're battling addiction, supporting someone who is, or simply interested in stories of human strength, Ryan Dusick's journey will leave you inspired.
Tune in to hear how he turned his life around and now helps others do the same.
