It's amazing how we met, and Lois is just an incredible human being, and I'm not surprised to hear that she took you in and took your daughter in, and that's what friends do.
In the latest episode of Recovery On-Air, host Kristen Day welcomes Jane Gordon, founder of Rock Recovery Charities, to discuss the transformative power of rock music in addiction recovery. Jane Gordon shares her personal journey, which began with the tragic loss of her son to alcoholism.

Jane's involvement with Solid Rock has spanned over 25 years, during which she has contributed her skills in marketing and public relations.
The conversation touches on the profound impact of musicians like Alice Cooper and Slash, who quietly support recovery initiatives. Jane's passion for using music as a healing tool is evident as she recounts stories of resilience and triumph over addiction. Listeners are encouraged to visit Rock Recovery Charities' website for more information and to tune into Jane's podcast, available on Star Worldwide Networks.
As the episode concludes, Kristen Day reminds listeners of the resources available at Crossroads Addiction Rehabilitation, reinforcing the message that recovery is possible with the right support. This episode underscores the importance of innovative approaches to addiction recovery and the role of community in fostering healing and growth.
