It was in me that that was so desperate and so willing that I didn't think: fuck this, it's a bunch of dudes I don't want to hang out with a bunch.
Imagine being a teenager battling depression and finding solace in drugs. That's exactly where Sonny Mayo's story begins. In this episode of 'Knockin' Doorz Down', host Jason LaChance sits down with Sonny to uncover his tumultuous journey from the depths of addiction to becoming a beacon of hope for others.
Sonny's battle with addiction started young, leading him to some dark places—like smoking meth in an airplane bathroom or showing up at his mother's house high on acid, claiming he had a divine message. These low points eventually led him to rehab at just 16 years old. Initially resistant, Sonny eventually embraced the help he received and committed to turning his life around.
Fast forward to 2009, and Sonny found himself in recording school, ready to channel his energy into something positive. Today, he's not just a musician but also a recovery advocate. Sonny's story is a powerful reminder of the importance of support systems and community in overcoming addiction. He emphasizes how spirituality and self-improvement played crucial roles in his recovery.
Sonny also shares his involvement with the Race to End the Stigma campaign, aiming to change perceptions around mental health and addiction. If you're looking for a raw, inspiring conversation that tackles addiction head-on while offering hope and practical advice, this episode is a must-listen.
