Johnny Reyes: From Addiction to Advocacy

So it fizzled out over a period of time and then, in so A Couple Of Years Later, it took me really hitting rock bottom, which is I had to lose everything that was important to me. And granted, there were a lot of elements in my life where I didn't have it under control, like in my professional life, in my relationships as far as like my love relationships, things- and those two were deeply tied into each other.
Picture this: you're at rock bottom, and the only way out is up. That's where Johnny Reyes, also known as REŸES, found himself. In this episode of 'How I Got Sober', Julie Comeau chats with her close friend Johnny about his rollercoaster ride from addiction to sobriety. Johnny's journey isn't just about kicking a habit; it's about rebuilding a life from the ashes.
A DJ, Producer, and Composer, Johnny hit a low point on January 18, 2018, and decided it was time for a change. He didn't just stop drinking; he turned his life around and started helping others do the same. Through Musicares and other recovery programs, Johnny has become a beacon of hope for musicians and anyone grappling with addiction. He talks candidly about the importance of self-forgiveness, spirituality, and the power of community support.
If you're looking for a story of resilience and transformation, this episode is a must-listen. Johnny's tale is a powerful reminder that it's never too late to change your life and help others along the way.
