Getting sober gives you the ability to see life in a way that hitherto you haven't been able to totally, and I suspect that getting sober enabled him to look back upon his life and see those two momentous occasions that happened and put them in perspective.
Ever wondered what Elton John and addiction recovery have in common? In this episode of 'Sideways', hosts Graham Landi and Martin Pankhurst take you on a nostalgic journey that intertwines personal stories with the legendary musician's path to sobriety. Martin shares a quirky anecdote about attending Elton John's concert at Leeds Castle and how it led him to reflect on his own sobriety journey.
The duo dives into the emotional rollercoaster of getting sober, revealing how it can give you a fresh perspective on life that you might never have imagined before. From the amusing memories of their parents' drinks cabinets to the serious challenges of seeking help and resisting social drinking, Graham and Martin cover it all with their signature blend of warmth and humor. They also touch on the therapeutic power of writing letters to process deep-seated emotions like anger and pain.
This episode isn't just about addiction; it's about finding joy and strength in the recovery process. Whether you're struggling with addiction, supporting someone who is, or just curious about the topic, 'Rocket Man' offers a heartfelt look at the transformative power of sobriety.
