It shows that you can still rock out while living a sober life.
Imagine touring the world with a famous rock band while battling addiction. That's the story of Wes Geer, former guitarist for KORN & Hed PE, who shares his incredible journey to sobriety on this episode of 'Escaping Rock Bottom'. Wes opens up about the struggles he faced on the road and how hitting rock bottom led him to find a new purpose in life.
After getting clean, he didn't just stop at personal recovery; he founded Rock To Recovery, a program that uses the power of music to support others on their path to sobriety. But that's not all—Wes also started a new band, HU3M3N, proving that you can still rock out while living a sober life. One of the standout themes in this episode is the role of trauma in addiction.
Wes discusses how untreated trauma fueled his addiction and how confronting those painful experiences was key to his recovery. He also highlights the danger of comparing traumas, emphasizing that what might be traumatic for one person may not be for another, but both are valid and deserve attention. The conversation also delves into societal shame and its impact on addiction recovery.
Wes and host Brandon Lee talk about how anonymity in recovery often stems from shame and how breaking down these barriers can create a more open and supportive environment for mental health and addiction recovery. Authenticity and honesty are celebrated as crucial elements in this journey. This episode isn't just for those battling addiction; it's for anyone seeking hope and inspiration in their struggles.
Wes Geer's story is a testament to the transformative power of facing your demons and using your experiences to help others. Tune in to hear how he's rocking sobriety and making a difference.
