Ken Block's Path from Addiction to Sobriety: The Power of Community

I just tell people: look, if somethings not right, if you are feeling isolated or lonely or out of control and your attempts to curb your use or drinking have been unsuccessful, you got nothing to lose. Come in and just listen.
Ken Block, the familiar voice behind Sister Hazel, opens up about his tumultuous journey with addiction in this episode of 'Recover Together'. Ken’s story isn’t just about hitting rock bottom; it’s about the climb back up and the community that helped him every step of the way. He candidly shares his experiences of feeling isolated and out of control, offering a heartfelt reminder that you’re not alone in your struggles.
Ken speaks to the anxiety that often fuels addiction, leading to a vicious cycle of shame and loneliness. But more importantly, he highlights the transformative power of human connection in recovery. His message is simple: if you’re struggling, reach out and listen—there’s nothing to lose and everything to gain. As a musician, Ken also delves into the music industry’s pervasive culture of substance use and the unique challenges of maintaining sobriety while continuing to write and perform.
This episode isn’t just for those battling addiction; it’s a beacon of hope for anyone feeling lost or isolated. Ken’s journey underscores the importance of community support and the incredible strength found in vulnerability and connection.
