Rocking Sobriety: Jon Graber's Journey Through Music and Recovery

I don't have to look like you, I don't have to smell like you, I don't have to have the same fucking drug of choice as you and like I can identify, and I walked out of there feeling a million times better.
Ever wondered how a rockstar navigates the ups and downs of sobriety?
