If Today was that Last Day that I ever did, it, fuck, my life's been sick, you know what I mean.
Imagine growing up in a household with constant chaos and feeling like you had to fend for yourself. That's exactly what Austin D'Amond, the drummer for Devil Driver, experienced. By the age of 12, Austin was already running into trouble with the law and drowning his worries in alcohol. But his story doesn't end there; it's just the beginning of an incredible journey to sobriety and success.
In this episode of 'Knockin' Doorz Down', host Jason LaChance sits down with Austin to talk about his tumultuous youth, his love for music, and how he turned his life around. Despite the early chaos, Austin found solace in playing drums, a passion ignited by his dad's heavy metal mixtapes. He joined his high school marching band and poured his energy into honing his musical skills. However, the lure of drugs and alcohol was never far away.
It wasn't until Austin hit rock bottom and went to rehab that he discovered the healing power of vulnerability. Initially reluctant to open up, he soon realized that sharing his struggles with others in recovery was a game-changer. Austin learned to appreciate the small things in life and found ways to stay calm in tough situations. His journey wasn't just about kicking addiction; it was also about battling weight issues and an inflated ego.
Through the 12-step program and the support of a strong community, Austin embraced a new way of living. He now uses his experiences to give back, proving that art and life are about more than just personal gain. Austin's story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the importance of human connection in maintaining sobriety. Tune in to hear how he transformed from a troubled teen into a successful sober lifestyle entrepreneur.
