If I'm going to fu*king die, then I might as well give this music thing a try.
What happens when a teenage struggle with addiction meets the creative spark of music? For singer-songwriter Will Wood, it led to a journey that transformed his life. In this episode of 'Sober Nation FM', hosted by Jonathan Sylvester, Will opens up about how he first turned to alcohol as a teenager to escape reality and cope with stress. As his substance abuse escalated, he hit rock bottom and found himself clinging to music as his last lifeline.
'If I'm going to die, then I might as well give this music thing a try', he recalls. Teaming up with his band, The Tapeworms, Will poured his heart and soul into recording his first album, which has since garnered a dedicated following. Today, he uses his platform to inspire others and raise funds for mental health research. This episode dives into the challenges of staying sober, the importance of self-care and support, and the ongoing stigma surrounding addiction.
Will also shares his thoughts on drug legalization and how addiction intersects with the music industry. His story is a powerful reminder that recovery is possible and that music can be a beacon of hope.
