From Stage to Sobriety: Bryce and Mark's Journey Through Theater and AA

Watching somebody finally be like holy shit... that was like the only hope I had.
What happens when the drama of theater school intersects with the turmoil of addiction? In this episode of 'Lovely Creatures', hosts Drew and Emma chat with Bryce and Mark, two men whose paths crossed in a small New York theater school. Bryce, who found himself in AA by 18 after experiencing overdoses and drug-induced psychotic breaks, shares his tumultuous early years.
Meanwhile, Mark, the brooding artist with a penchant for Irish whiskey, recounts his slow descent into alcoholism and how it romanticized his struggles. Their stories reveal the stark contrast between Bryce's explosive battle with addiction and Mark's gradual slide into chaos. Both men credit AA with pulling them back from the brink and helping them rebuild their lives. The episode explores how formative relationships and the support of AA have been pivotal in their recovery journeys.
Listeners will find themselves moved by the honesty and resilience Bryce and Mark display as they discuss their darkest moments and their inspiring breakthroughs. If you're on a path to sobriety or supporting someone who is, this conversation offers hope, humor, and heartfelt insights.
