Inspiration 💕💕💕
Yes, Travis Barker, the drummer for Blink-182, is 17 years sober:
How he got sober
Barker's journey to sobriety began after a plane crash in 2008 that killed four people and left him with severe burns and other injuries. The crash led him to reevaluate his life and seek help for his addiction. He checked into rehab and began a long journey to sobriety.
How he maintains sobriety
Barker credits his sobriety to a combination of therapy, exercise, and meditation. He also practices the drums almost every day and runs and boxes.
Travis Barker’s day-to-day is not what you might find “typical” for a punk rock star. His days are filled with nutritious eating, exercise, work, and drinking plenty of water. The star eats a fully vegan diet and works out six days a week.
He recently started his own wellness company, while staying fully focused on his music and production career. When he needs balance and self-care, he seeks out holistic therapies.
Of course, Barker’s life did not always play out this way. Prior to his wellness journey, Barker struggled with painkiller addiction and smoked “an excessive amount” of ma*****na.
Travis Barker’s life changed in September 2008, after surviving a plane crash that killed four of the six people on board.
How he feels about sobriety
Barker has said that sobriety has given him everything he's ever wanted. He also credits his passion for drumming and exercise as two things that help keep him away from drugs.
Barker's journey to sobriety has inspired many others.
