Scott Schwarz: Beating Addiction and Finding Rhythm as The Road Drummer
“We've said on the podcast before: the opposite of addiction isn't abstinent, it's connection, and it sounds like your art gives you a way to connect with others.”
What happens when the dream you’ve chased all your life slips through your fingers? Scott Schwarz, also known as The Road Drummer, knows this all too well. In this episode of Project Recovery, Scott opens up about his rollercoaster journey from a hopeful musician to battling addiction, and finally finding redemption through his love for drumming. Growing up, Scott was always surrounded by music. He dreamt of making it big and even started his own record label in Eugene, OR.
But when his dreams didn’t pan out as expected, he spiraled into addiction. Scott’s candid discussion reveals how addiction strained his relationships and turned him into a habitual liar. His story takes a turn for the better as he shares his path to recovery, where he rediscovered his passion for playing live music. Now, as The Road Drummer, Scott uses his music to connect with others and stay on the path of sobriety.
His story is a powerful reminder that it’s never too late to find your rhythm again.
