Wes dives into the deep-seated trauma that fueled his addiction, revealing how childhood experiences can shape our mental health in unexpected ways.

Wes shares candidly about learning to connect with others without the crutch of drugs or alcohol and the vital role that community and connection played in his recovery.

They’ve provided him with a sense of purpose and direction, which he now channels into his work with Rock to Recovery. This organization uses creative expression and music to aid others on their recovery journeys, highlighting the profound impact that music can have on emotional healing and catharsis.
Wes's journey is a powerful reminder that even in the face of overwhelming challenges, recovery is possible. His dedication to sobriety and his mission to help others find their way through music make his story both inspiring and hopeful.
