A NEW "GROUP" FOR A SPECIAL BUNCH!!!

I created this group in the hopes that it will reach every Serious Musician...or anyone involved in the Music Business.... AS WE ALL KNOW..... The "Music Business" is not exactly condusive to a "SOBER" type life-style..... In fact we are VERY OFTEN put into situations where a strong support network simply does not exist..... Come here and ask questions.... SHARE YOUR STORYS, FAILURES, SUCCESS.............. Let it rip........... This is for that special breed of person who MUSIC is not just something we "listen" to.......... It's a life-style, a passion...... and something we will NEVER GIVE UP!

Hello,

I'm a classical musician struggling with addiction.  Glad to find this group. I've never even really posted on a discussion like this so this is all new to me.

Cheers,

Justin

hey man, whats up,yeah im addicted to weed,.... iknow,i know...its only weed i guess i could stop just like that,but ive  been saying ill give up for the last 30 years ...anyway im quiet sure the weed has always kept me in my room jamming and going no futher with it,i am the bedroom shred king,but lately this year ive been getting palpitations,it scared me enough to  give up cigerrettes,the palps  have slowed down to nothing in the first weeks (being cigerrette free)but then returned after a month,i never stopped the weed though but cut right down,since i made the decision to take my health seriously ,i feel a slow sensation come over me ...(clarity)....,anyway maybe my dream of playing in a band or solo live seems possible at the momment ,i took the leap and uploaded a guitar song on you tube,and i finaly had a question id been asking myself for so long answered on you tube comment (my only comment so far)my song was good.phew!!...man hey rikki this forum is a great idea man,i think its going to be big.take care my brothers and sisters,and may our experiences of our addictions make us wiser people. rock on!!
