Rocking Through Recovery: Shaun Howard's Path to Sobriety

I wouldn't be alive, man, if I hadn't quit, you know.
What happens when a rock star's life of late-night gigs and partying spirals into a battle with alcoholism? In this episode of 'Recovery Uncensored', Shaun Howard, the lead singer of Foreplay and the Shaun & Mike Duo, opens up about his journey from addiction to sobriety. Shaun's story is anything but typical; it’s raw, real, and filled with unexpected twists.
He talks about the car accident that served as a wake-up call, his struggles with depression, and how writing original music became a therapeutic outlet. But it's not all heavy; Shaun also shares his love for cartoons like Adventure Time and anime, bringing a lighter side to his tale.
With four years of continuous sobriety under his belt, Shaun reflects on the gratitude he feels for his journey and performs an acoustic version of his original song 'Blame it on Gravity' on the ukulele. This episode is a testament to the power of music in healing and the importance of honest communication in recovery. Whether you're a music lover, someone in recovery, or just curious about the intersection of creativity and sobriety, Shaun's story offers something for everyone.
