Opportunities have been there, were always there for me in my life, but I couldn't see them, or I wouldn't see them, and I didn't know, I wasn't equipped with what I needed to allow those opportunities to come to fruition, or I would waste them, I would burn them.
Ever wondered how someone can go from the chaos of addiction to the harmony of recovery? In this episode of 'Talksicology', hosts Jason Cabello and Joseph Gorordo sit down with musician Ricardo Gonzalez, drummer for Lance Herbstrong and the Chicago Afrobeat Project, to explore his incredible journey. Ricardo opens up about his childhood, where he was a band-nerd and an academically gifted kid who turned to alcohol and smoking to cope with his mom’s cancer diagnosis.
His story takes us through missed concerts and backstage parties at Lollapalooza, where his addiction often left him with no memory of the shows he attended. Despite these struggles, Ricardo never lost his musical talent and could still play drums, even at his lowest points. He shares how his passion for music became a cornerstone in his recovery, helping him find new opportunities and a sense of peace.
Ricardo also talks about the transformative power of yoga in his life, which has helped him release tension and stay grounded. This episode isn't just about the dark times; it's a testament to resilience and the power of a strong support system. Ricardo’s story is a powerful reminder that recovery is possible, and that with self-awareness and the right support, you can take control of your life.
Whether you're on your own path to sobriety or supporting someone who is, this conversation offers hope, practical insights, and a lot of heart.
