Recovery, whether it is from substance abuse or a mental illness, or both requires a treatment plan, which in many cases is as effective as treatments for other chronic illnesses.
Picture this: London in the 1960s, a time when rock 'n' roll was king and the air was thick with change. In this episode of 'One Hour AT A Time', Mary Woods sits down with legendary music manager Brixton Key to unravel his incredible journey. Brixton opens up about his unconventional childhood and the wild ride of the UK music scene, where drugs and rock 'n' roll were as common as tea and biscuits. But his story doesn't stop there.
From working at Melody Maker to managing Chris Isaak in America, Brixton's life has been anything but ordinary. Brixton dives deep into his personal battles, sharing his experiences with heroin addiction and a life-threatening brain aneurism. His candidness about these struggles is both raw and inspiring, showing that recovery is possible even in the face of immense adversity. He talks about his second chance at life and how he's used it to not only recover but thrive.
His semi-autobiographical book, 'Charlie Six', offers a glimpse into his tumultuous yet triumphant journey. This episode isn't just for music lovers; it's for anyone who's ever faced a mountain and wondered if they could climb it. Brixton's story is a testament to the power of resilience and the importance of personal responsibility in recovery. Whether you're battling dual disorders or supporting someone who is, you'll find hope and practical advice woven into every minute of this conversation.
So grab a cup of tea, settle in, and let Brixton Key's journey inspire you.
