The day I got out of rehab, I'm dead, sober, and we had a record release party that I had to go straight to. You know I mean when you're confined like that, and plus I'm all new to sobriety, it was like even going to-eleven was, like you know, a tester. And it was so rewarding that I didn't use something for me to feel good to do the show.
Ever wondered how rock stars manage the highs and lows of fame? Mark Kendall, co-founder and lead guitarist of Great White, takes us behind the scenes in this episode of 'Rock Recovery'. Despite his band's platinum records and sold-out tours, Kendall faced a darker reality—addiction. He candidly shares how the relentless praise and chaotic lifestyle pushed him toward substance abuse. Imagine being on the road, constantly told you're amazing, but feeling empty inside.
That's the trap Kendall fell into in 1991. However, his story doesn't end there. After years of struggle, he now celebrates over 13 years of sobriety, tweeting that 'LIFE IS GOOD'. Host Jane Gordon, who brings her own personal experience with addiction, guides this heartfelt conversation. They discuss the unique challenges musicians face in staying sober and how Kendall's journey can inspire others.
From the role of community support to the healing power of music, Kendall's insights are both eye-opening and hopeful. If you're curious about the intersection of rock and recovery, or just need a dose of inspiration, this episode is a must-listen.
