I'm talking about people just getting in touch with whatever it is, whatever their level they're at, whether you can read music, whether you can't, whether you can draw a straight line if you're an artist or not.
What happens when a talented artist battles addiction and emerges victorious? In this episode of 'I Kissed Alcohol Goodbye', Skip Sams takes us on a compelling journey through his life, marked by both immense talent and profound struggles. Growing up in the '70s and '80s, Skip found solace in music but faced harsh judgment because of his sexuality.
This inner turmoil led him down a path of addiction to crystal meth, alcohol, and other substances, nearly costing him his life at age 39. On the brink of suicide, Skip had a life-changing realization: his story wasn't over. He decided to start anew, embracing the 12-step program and making amends with his Muse—his artistic voice. Now, with 16 years of sobriety under his belt, Skip shares how he transformed his life and reconnected with his passion for music.
As a certified life coach for performing artists, he helps others find their creative spark without relying on substances. Dana Michael Krull and Skip delve into the complexities of addiction, the impact of religious guilt, and the power of forgiveness and self-discovery. Skip's story is a testament to resilience and the human spirit's ability to heal and thrive. This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is.
It's not just about overcoming addiction; it's about rediscovering who you are and embracing your true self. Tune in to hear Skip's inspiring journey and learn how you, too, can find your sober voice.
