Getting sober requires a rewiring of the brain and instead of reaching for a drink, we have to learn how to reach for support.
What happens when a life of jazz and a love for music intertwine with the chaos of alcohol and drugs? In this episode of 'One For The Road', host David Wilson sits down with jazz musician Jack Cotterill to uncover his remarkable journey to sobriety. Growing up in a family of esteemed musicians, Jack was no stranger to the vibrant, and often wild, world of jazz.
By the tender age of 14, he had left school to pursue his musical dreams, but along with the melodies came a reckless lifestyle of heavy drinking and drug use. Jack opens up about the pivotal moment in September 2018 when he decided enough was enough and chose to turn his life around at just 25 years old.
He shares the raw struggles of his first hundred days sober and how he managed to find joy in music without the crutch of alcohol. From shedding 60kg to fulfilling his dream of touring Europe on a motorbike, Jack’s story is a testament to the power of determination and support. He also touches on the current state of the jazz scene and offers alternative ways to enjoy music without alcohol.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking for inspiration and practical advice on navigating sobriety, especially within high-pressure environments like the music industry.
