This time on RECOVERING, French sits down with guitarist and composer Trevor Howard for an honest conversation about addiction, alcoholism, sobriety, and reinvention. After years of life on the road as a touring musician, Trevor opens up about growing up feeling different, the restless discontent that followed him through life, and how working a 12-step program helped him recognize the patterns behind his struggles. Getting sober meant more than leaving old habits behind; it meant discovering new ways to channel his creativity and musical talents into a healthier life, including composing for the acclaimed investigative podcast Swindled. Trevor shares how recovery can open the door to a new chapter, and how the person you become along the way can bring light to others, even while you're still learning to find it yourself.
