Send us Fan Mail"For the most part, nothing that has taken place in the last 8 years could hold a candle to what the fuck it was like doing drugs."Matt [52:11]Matthew is a licensed mental health counselor, clinical director at a local treatment center, and currently working on his PHD in counseling. And a rapper. Under the stage name “Matthew 508,” he has released five albums since getting sober in 2015. His most recent is “The Ties That Bind Us” which dropped on May 12, 2023.Matt's relationship with the abstract nature of Death. We break down Matt's writing process and go over the meaning and story behind his new album 'The Ties That Bind Us'. How has adversity shaped you? Whether it be in or outside of recovery. The 'three headed monster'. Long term recovery. Clinical sessions, medication compliance and 12 step affiliation. The benefits of medication. The benefits of therapy. Getting twisted up in the racing thoughts of the mind and getting out of it. The adversity of addiction reviving a perspective within you that you always wanted. Operating in the lowest version of ourselves. Drifting away from the things that are working. Adversity continues to shape us. I can't do this by myself. If the pain is honored. The creative process and the inner critic.
