Episode 54 - Adrian Cox

from After Hours with Jimmy Thistle · host Jimmy Thistle

Send us Fan MailMusician Adrian Cox left home at the age of 15 to pursue a life of touring and making music as a profession. Not an easy task for anyone but as a 15 year old boy, Adrian easily fell into the trap of a life of drinking and drugs. Still living the dream at aged 42, things are very different now. Although still travelling the world, having carved out a career as one of the most respected jazz clarinetists Internationally, he is 2 months off of 12 years without a drink and nearly 10 years with no cocaine. It’s been a hell of a journey including a hip replacement at aged 30 due to AVN caused by alcohol and few other tales (as you can imagine) to go with that! Adrian now lives in Sweden and has found balance in touring, home life and the joys of the AA program, something he came to after 11 years.You can find Adrian on Instagram at:https://www.instagram.com/ontheroadinrecoveryDrop the Rock, Steps 6&7 - Bill P Todd W and Sara Shttps://amzn.eu/d/gBeLdL0We Did OK, Kid - Anthony Hopkins https://amzn.eu/d/eAyTYpSSupport the showMy Instagram is:https://www.instagram.com/recovery_jimmyAnd you can find all my other links at:https://linktr.ee/jimmythistleBuy me a coffee…https://buymeacoffee.com/afterhourswithjimmytAlcohol Explained - William Porterhttps://a.co/d/0854fIb6This Naked Mind - Annie Gracehttps://a.co/d/0gy6mT9ZA Million Little Pieces - James Freyhttps://a.co/d/0jdcIjGbDonate:https://motiv8.im/donate/https://nacoa.org.uk/get-involved/donating/donate/
