Addicts are not bad people trying to get good, they are sick.
Imagine a world where rock music isn't just about sex, drugs, and wild nights, but a beacon of hope and recovery. That's exactly what John Hollis, founder of Rockers In Recovery (RIR), envisioned when he started this unique nonprofit in 2008. In this episode of 'I Took the High Road', host Jacob Patrick Jansen chats with Hollis about how RIR uses the power of music to support those battling addiction.
From organizing sober concerts and festivals to producing addiction recovery news, RIR has touched the lives of hundreds of thousands. Hollis opens up about his own journey through addiction and how it fueled his passion to create a supportive community for others. He emphasizes that addicts aren't bad people; they're sick individuals who need love, support, and personalized treatment. The conversation also delves into the importance of breaking down the stigma surrounding addiction and mental health.
Hollis shares his vision for the future of addiction treatment and how music can play a pivotal role in it. The episode also highlights the Love of Recovery concert, a private event that brings together those in recovery and their families for a night of unity and support. With celebrity involvement and a growing community, Rockers In Recovery is making waves in the fight against addiction.
