Joey Repice's Road to Recovery: From Addiction to Hot Sauce Entrepreneur

There was a pattern there that if I continued living with how I was living, this is what was going to happen to me, and I went and my initial reaction was to actually go score.
Imagine juggling the fast-paced life of a drummer and restaurant worker in Manhattan while battling a growing addiction. That's exactly what Joey Repice faced. In this episode of 'The Drunkalogues', Nick Morton sits down with Joey to uncover his raw and real journey from casual substance use to a full-blown heroin addiction. Joey's story is one of resilience and unexpected twists, including a near-relapse after the tragic overdose of his ex-girlfriend.
But he found a lifeline in what he believes was a spiritual intervention. Now living in Oregon, Joey has channeled his energy into creating 'Joey’s Hot Sauce', a brand that’s as unique as his story. From stealing to support his habit to finding redemption and pursuing his passions, Joey's tale is a testament to the power of recovery and reinvention. Tune in for an episode filled with honesty, hope, and a dash of humor.
