Stephen Gibb is a heavy metal musician who has played in many bands, including Black Label Society, Crowbar, Kingdom of Sorrow, Saigon Kick, and before Covid struck, had been spending time accompanying his father, Barry Gibb, on tours.
In 2011, Stephen offered me a chair on one of the lowest days in my life. Almost ten years later, we take an hour or so to share our struggles with addiction and our love for a life worth living in sobriety. Connection is a powerful gift, and you never know where it might one day lead.
In this episode, the "Prince of Disco" (I found out 4 days prior to recording that he is the son of a Beegee) tells me about learning how to take accountability for himself and making better choices in a sober life, getting kicked out of Black Label Society, a relapse that almost took his life, and a web series scheduled to launch in July called "Addiction Walks" accompanied by the podcast "Addiction Talks".
Please know that for anyone out there suffering with addiction, you truly are not alone in your struggle, and there is a thread of kindness that exists among those of us in recovery who are more than happy to help weave you into the tapestry of a beautiful, sober life.
