Finding Light: Charlie Collins' Story of Sobriety and Music
I finally, when I took that that step one in our program that teaches us about the mental- you know, it's a two part thing- I got a physical allergy. But if I don't look at the second part of that step, that the insane idea is going to win out nine times out of, you might be smart enough not to pick up, but that one time, that mental blank spot, it is like going into a blackout.
Imagine hitting rock bottom, then finding the strength to climb back up. That's exactly what musician and author Charlie Collins did, and in this episode of 'Sober House', he shares his remarkable journey.
