I began writing and I finally felt connected spiritually and things started to happen. And I continued to cultivate that contact with the creative source- whatever that thing is, and I began to heal some of my deepest wounds.
Picture this: a musician in rehab, guitar in hand, using melodies to navigate the turbulent waters of addiction recovery. That's exactly what Jam Alker did when he entered treatment in 2014. Instead of letting his struggles drown him, he transformed them into powerful songs that helped him confront his emotions head-on. In this episode of 'Voices of Recovery', Jam shares how music became his lifeline and a tool for healing not just for himself, but for many others too.
He now travels the country, performing, speaking to students, and leading workshops that harness the therapeutic power of music. His work with Recovery Unplugged is a testament to the incredible impact of creative expression in the recovery process. If you're curious about how creativity can play a role in healing, or if you just love a good redemption story, this episode is a must-listen.
