When we talk about recovery, the happy juice comes from the inside. So I find fulfillment, and that's why all these, you know, counterintuitive things like: go help, somebody else is going to help me, be of service, is going to help me, like all these things I was taught, start making it so I feel fulfilled in the inside, and then it kind of wells up from my heart instead of like, you know, oh, I got this new watch and it's kind of like an ego fluff that squirts a little dopamine for a minute and goes away.
What happens when a rock star decides to turn his life around? In this episode of 'OvercomeOutloud', Charlie Smith chats with Wes Geer, a celebrated musician known for his work with bands like Korn and Hed PE. Wes opens up about his turbulent journey through addiction and how he found his way to sobriety. From the highs of his early music career to the lows of battling addiction, Wes shares it all with raw honesty.
He talks about the turning points that led him to seek help and the crucial role that service to others has played in his recovery. Wes also dives into the impact of negative self-talk and how he combats it with practices like prayer and meditation. He challenges common myths about sobriety stifling creativity, showing that it's possible to thrive artistically while staying clean. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking for hope and practical advice on overcoming addiction.
