An alcoholic is somebody who has completely lost everything. I mean, if you're blessed to, you know not lose everything and not end up on the street, then obviously you have some, some comforts that others don't have.
Ever wondered what it's like to be a rock star and struggle with addiction? In this episode of 'Sobriety Unplugged', Sharon Hartley and Ben Anderson sit down with Ryan Dusick, one of the founding members of Maroon 5. Ryan shares his incredible journey from playing in garages with friends to performing on the world’s biggest stages. But fame came with a dark side. When an injury forced him to step back from drumming, alcohol quietly became his crutch.
Ryan opens up about how he masked his struggles with humor and secrecy until he hit rock bottom after leaving the band in 2006. For the next decade, he battled alcohol addiction, which took a toll on his relationships and mental health. Now a trained therapist and author of the book 'Harder To Breathe', Ryan discusses his path to recovery and the emotional growth that helped him rebuild his life.
He emphasizes the importance of open communication and emotional maturity in overcoming addiction and reconnecting with loved ones. His story is a testament to the fact that addiction doesn't discriminate; it can affect anyone, regardless of their success or status. Tune in to hear Ryan’s candid conversation about his highs and lows, and how sobriety has given him a new lease on life.
