The way that it ended for me was people holding me accountable, and we don't hold addicts accountable anymore.
Picture this: you're at a Dodgers game, and the conversation shifts from baseball to rock legends and addiction. That's the kind of journey Bob Forrest takes you on in episode 169 of 'Don't Die Podcast'. Joined by Chuk, Mike, and guest Wiley Dailey, Bob dives into a treasure trove of rock star stories while weaving in candid discussions about addiction treatment and recovery.
The episode kicks off with a nod to the podcast's sponsors, Eddie Vedder's Ohana Fest and Live Nation, before transitioning into an engaging chat about Bob's recent Dodgers game experience. But it doesn't stop there. Wiley Dailey brings the star power, sharing memorable encounters with icons like Lou Reed, Julio Iglesias, Jerry Lee Lewis, Priscilla Presley, Marlon Brando, and even a quirky tale involving Bob Dylan and the infamous Elvis Presley death toilet.
Beyond the glitz and glamour, the episode tackles serious themes. Bob and his guests explore the importance of treating addicts with both compassion and accountability. They emphasize the need for fellowship in sobriety and shine a light on the often-overlooked truths about addiction. It's a raw and honest discussion that doesn't shy away from calling out the misleading narratives pushed by politicians and big pharma.

Tune in for a blend of star-studded stories and heartfelt conversations that will leave you reflecting on the complexities of addiction and recovery.
