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.

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.
