Drugs and alcohol were great for many, many, many years. Then, when it didn't, it was devastating.
Vincent Castellanos, known for his roles in 'Anaconda', 'Twin Peaks', and 'Mulholland Drive', takes us on a riveting journey through his life on this episode of 'The Drunkalogues'. Born in Cuba, Vincent moved to Miami at the age of nine, where he found excitement and a sense of belonging in the city's vibrant nightclub scene of the late 70s. The allure of Miami's nightlife was just the beginning.
Vincent later moved to New York City to chase his dreams of acting and dancing, only to get caught up in Manhattan's hedonistic lifestyle during the 80s. But this isn't just a tale of downfall; it's a story of redemption and transformation. Vincent opens up about his path to sobriety, sharing how getting clean helped him find the career success that had previously eluded him.
He talks candidly about his experiences as a straight-A student turned busboy and disco dancer, and how drugs and alcohol were intertwined with his life for many years until they became devastating. Vincent's story is a powerful reminder of the transformative power of recovery. He speaks about discovering a sustaining daily spirituality that has helped him stay sober and continues to guide him.
Hosted by Nick Morton, 'The Drunkalogues' blends humor with heartfelt stories, making it an inspiring listen for anyone touched by addiction. Tune in to hear Vincent Castellanos' remarkable journey from the highs of Miami's nightclubs to the serenity of spiritual sobriety.
