Rick Grossman: From Rock Bottom to Rock Legend

Every day, I wake up in the morning and I'm grateful that I don't have that thing anymore, you know, yeah, I use the word blessed.
Imagine being on tour with iconic bands like the Divinyls and Hoodoo Gurus, all while battling a crippling heroin addiction. In this episode of 'The Truth About Addiction', host Ron Isherwood sits down with Rick Grossman, a bass guitarist whose story is as gripping as his music. Rick opens up about his harrowing journey through addiction, including the desperate measures he took, like hiding heroin in cassette players during tours.
But this isn't just a tale of struggle; it's one of triumph and transformation. Rick's path to sobriety involved a blend of spirituality, personal accountability, and the healing power of music. Now an ARIA Hall of Fame inductee and a passionate advocate for recovery, Rick shares how he supports aspiring songwriters and helps others navigate their own paths to sobriety.
This episode offers a raw and inspiring look into the life of a rockstar who found redemption and purpose beyond the stage. Whether you're battling addiction or supporting someone who is, Rick's story is a powerful reminder that recovery is possible.
