I have epiphanies when I'm in the shower and I realize we're both musician songwriters and we have a podcast and we never talk about music that much.
Ever wondered how music intertwines with the journey of recovery? Bob Forrest's 'Don't Die Podcast' brings you a special music-themed episode where Bob and Mike delve into the profound impact of music on their lives and recovery journeys. Bob kicks things off by sharing his plans to meet the Don't Die Wisconsin team, setting the stage for an episode packed with anecdotes and reflections.
The conversation meanders through the chaotic world of meth psychosis and the dramatic physical changes that come with kicking addiction.
