Old School Freaks and Geeks

Take a trip with us to Dallas Texas where we talk with Curt who celebrated one year clean and sober on Nov 19, 2020

Curt started drinking at the age of 14 and grew up in the old school punk rock and skateboard scene. His drinking and drugging took him through many phases that included all the party drugs like acid, ecstasy, mushrooms and cocaine. He tried pretty near everything over the years until he grew out of that and found himself drinking daily while he worked unsupervised and hid it from his family.

That all changed a little over a year ago when his wife caught on to what he was doing and gave him an ultimatum. Curt has since changed his habits and behaviors and his life is immersed in recovery. He is the founder of Skate Straight where he shares the recovery message to a very diverse crowd of skate boarders, chefs, musicians, straight, gay, trans gender and sober curious.

His family like many others comes from the old school thinking of not talking about issues past or present. If you are depressed, get over it. Rehab is for quitters and if I had a drinking problem I certainly wouldn't tell anyone about it.

Curt has changed everything in his life and is speaking his truth openly about his addiction and alcoholism. He is on a mission to raise awareness and tear down the stigmas making it easier to talk about the disease of alcoholism and addiction.

Curt likes many different types of music and because he's old (his words) he likes what he likes.

Hip Hop, Punk Rock, Willy Nelson and Coldplay
