I got a sponsor, I worked the steps, I became willing to change my life and I chased the programs as hard as I chased my drugs.
Richie Supa's life reads like a rock 'n' roll epic, complete with chart-topping hits and backstage chaos. But beneath the glittering surface, Richie battled a dark addiction that nearly derailed his career and life. In this episode of Steppin' Out Radio, Richie opens up about his journey from the heights of musical success to the depths of addiction, and his inspiring path to recovery.
Richie’s career kicked off with the Long Island band “The Rich Kids” and skyrocketed with his work at EMI Music, where he penned hits like “Back on Earth” and “Pink”, which even snagged a Grammy. Yet, as his star rose, so did his reliance on cocaine, which he admitted was a constant companion in his creative process. The addiction took its toll, leading to his arrest and the loss of his songwriting contract. But Richie's story didn't end there.
He decided to turn his life around, getting a sponsor and diving into the 12-step program with the same intensity he once reserved for his music. Richie found a new way to channel his passion through Recovery Unplugged, a program that uses music as therapy for those battling addiction. Through this journey, Richie discovered the power of connection and support, realizing that recovery isn't a solo act but a collaborative effort.
His story is a powerful reminder that no matter how far one falls, there's always a way back up. Tune in to hear Richie’s raw and honest account of his road to recovery, filled with lessons on resilience and the transformative power of music.
