I feel like because I lived, that I kind of have a responsibility to make the most out of my life. And so, in a way, everything that I went through has made me much more engaged and grateful and happier.
Picture this: a life intertwined with rock stars, late-night parties, and the constant allure of drugs and alcohol. That's the world Kristin Casey found herself in. In this episode of Friends in Recovery, Kristin, author of 'Rock Monster: My Life with Joe Walsh', opens up about her tumultuous journey from addiction to sobriety.
Her story isn't just about the glitz and glam of the rock 'n' roll lifestyle; it's a raw and honest account of the struggles she faced and the resilience she discovered within herself. Kristin's tale begins in Texas, but it's in San Diego where her life takes a dramatic turn. Working at a strip club, she meets Joe Walsh, a rock legend, and soon finds herself engulfed in a whirlwind of substance abuse.
But what makes her story truly compelling is not just the descent into addiction, but her remarkable climb out of it. Throughout the episode, Kristin shares how telehealth played a crucial role in her recovery. She highlights how connecting with others who understood her struggles was pivotal in her journey. She also talks about the importance of avoiding judgment and finding common ground with others battling addiction—a lesson she learned early on from her sponsor.
Kristin's experiences shed light on the darker side of commercializing sexuality and how it can fuel addiction. Her insights into the impact of rock stars on drug culture are both eye-opening and thought-provoking. If you're looking for a story that combines the chaos of rock 'n' roll with the hope of recovery, this episode is for you. Kristin Casey's journey is a powerful reminder that no matter how deep one falls, there's always a way back up.
