Mack's Journey: Sobriety, Creativity, and The Power of Podcasting

It's a gift for me on a daily basis, you know, to forget that I made this thing and then to have someone say something cool, you know, I know, you know how that is John Jeremy, the idea that, oh yeah, I made this song years ago, and someone's like crying, listening to it, like it's the stuff that lives in the art, that can live in perpetuity, that is accessible, it's magic

Mack opens up about his own recovery journey, the bumps along the way, and how community has been his anchor. But it’s not just about staying sober; it’s about the magic that happens when you mix art, humor, and self-expression into the recovery process.

For him, creating his podcast isn't just a project; it's a daily gift that helps him and others navigate the rocky path of addiction recovery. As Mack puts it, 'It's the stuff that lives in the art, that can live in perpetuity, that is accessible, it's magic'.
The conversation also touches on the importance of inclusivity in the recovery community. Mack emphasizes staying true to oneself and valuing every individual's unique journey. This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is. It’s a reminder that recovery is not just about quitting a substance; it’s about growing, connecting, and finding new ways to express oneself.
