The life I live now has only existed since I put the drink and the drugs down.
Imagine hitting rock bottom on the streets of Hollywood, only to rise up and become a celebrated guitarist. This episode of 'Keepin' It Friel' features British rocker Billy Morrison, known for his work with Billy Idol. Morrison opens up about his harrowing past, including being homeless and battling heroin addiction. He recounts his 20 failed attempts at rehab before experiencing a profound spiritual awakening that turned his life around.
With 24 years of sobriety under his belt, Morrison now thrives as a musician and artist, and he's passionate about giving back through his charity 'Above Ground', which focuses on mental health awareness. Host Courtney Friel dives deep into Morrison's early struggles, the pervasive issues of addiction and homelessness in LA, and the critical role of support systems in recovery. Morrison's story is a testament to the transformative power of sobriety and the importance of using one's platform for good.
Tune in for an inspiring conversation that highlights the possibility of hope and change, no matter how dire the circumstances.
