Matt Pinfield: From MTV to Sobriety - A Journey of Recovery

What I want is the public to realize that alcohol and marijuana and illicit drugs that use over them is as destructive to the other components of your health and your biology as cigarettes are.
Remember the days of MTV's golden era? Matt Pinfield, the iconic VJ, joins Dr. Drew, Bob Forrest, and Mike Catherwood on 'This Life #YOULIVE' to share his incredible story of overcoming addiction. In this episode, Matt opens up about his battles with alcohol and drugs, revealing the toll it took on his health and career. His candid discussion is both eye-opening and inspiring, as he talks about the pivotal role rehab played in reclaiming his life.
But it's not just about the struggles; Matt also dives into his autobiography, 'All These Things That I've Done,' offering a glimpse into his life beyond the screen. The conversation doesn't stop there. The hosts and Matt explore the controversial topic of medical marijuana and its benefits, providing a balanced perspective on its role in recovery. They also touch on the often-overlooked challenges of maintaining a career in radio, especially when battling personal demons.
To wrap it up, they discuss the dangers of weak opiates and share tips on saving money on prescription drugs. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in addiction recovery, mental health, or simply curious about the man behind the MTV legend.
