Chris Grosso's Path from Addiction to Spiritual Awakening
To me, it's about just waking up to these deeper truths in our lives that there's more than meets the eye in life.
Ever wondered how someone can turn their life around from addiction to spiritual enlightenment? In this episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer chats with Chris Grosso, a man of many hats—author, independent culturist, spiritual seeker, and recovering addict. Chris takes us on a fascinating journey through his life, sharing stories that are as raw as they are inspiring.
From the moment Danny Trejo pointed a steak knife at him to the mystical experience he had during an Eddie Van Halen solo, Chris’s anecdotes are anything but ordinary. The conversation dives deep into what spirituality means to Chris and how it doesn't always have to be confined to 'sacred' spaces. He emphasizes the importance of trying things out for yourself rather than taking them on faith.
The episode also explores the 'The One You Feed' parable, offering a fresh perspective on how asking is often the best way to get a yes in life. Chris's journey isn't just about spirituality; it's also about the power of music and how it played a pivotal role in his recovery. He talks about his love for punk rock and hardcore music, and how artists like Johnny Cash influenced him.
But it’s not all about the highs; Chris also opens up about hiding from pain with drugs and alcohol and how he learned compassion from his parents. If you're on a quest for self-discovery or looking for inspiration to turn your life around, this episode is a must-listen. Chris Grosso’s story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of spirituality.
