Andy’s Path: From Addiction to the Stage

And the thing about when I started is I could not reliably stop because I would try to control it and then I would drink and then I would get high when I was drunk and then I would start smoking again and then I would start all over again, all over again.
Andy’s story is a powerful testament to the human spirit's resilience. Growing up in a home where anger was a frequent visitor, Andy turned to alcohol and marijuana to escape his depression and suicidal thoughts. In this episode of 'QUALIFIED', he opens up about his struggles with addiction and the pivotal role therapy played in his recovery. Andy doesn’t shy away from discussing the dark times, but he also highlights the transformative power of community and support in his journey.
Now an actor, Andy has found a way to blend his passion for theater with his commitment to sobriety. His story is a beacon of hope for anyone battling similar demons, showing that it’s possible to turn your life around and find joy in unexpected places.
