Episode Description

In Episode 10 of Louder Than My Demons, I talk about the hardest night I’ve faced since getting sober — the night I almost relapsed. After a year of nonstop fight-or-flight, my nervous system finally cracked. The pressure, the fear, the trial, the depression… it all hit at once, and for the first time in almost 12 months, I thought: “I could drink.”

This episode is raw, honest, and exactly what LTMD was built for.
It’s not about perfection — it’s about survival.

Inside this episode:

  • Outlaw Sermon — “The Edge Isn’t Failure”

  • The Reckoning — my breakdown and the near relapse

  • The Spiral — how living in defense mode breaks your body and mind

  • The Turn — why I said “Not you, not again”

  • The 5 S’s — how I used them to pull myself back

  • Tales From the Guitar Lounge — the moment sobriety gave back to me

  • The debut of my new song: “Not You, Not Again”

  • The Reprise — “One Day Stronger”

If you’re standing on your own edge right now… this episode is for you.

Thank you for walking this road with me.
Welcome to The Unbroken — Rewire. Rebuild. Redeem.
