Haulix.com, in partnership with Heartsupport and the Global Recovery Initiatives Foundation, is proud to present: High Notes, a podcast about addiction and recovery in the music industry.

Episode 001: Bert McCracken of The Used recounts his journey to sobriety, and the lessons learned along the way. He tells us how he was in recovery when he joined The Used but relapsed, and how he hit rock bottom working on the album 'Artwork,' which was "a total blackout."

The show is hosted by James Shotwell and edited by Landon Defever. The theme song was written and performed by the band You, Me, And Everyone We know. Nick Ferran created the High Notes logo.

If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction, please seek help. The entire High Notes team is rooting for you, as are our incredible partners. Heartsupport exists to help those struggling with mental health (https://heartsupport.com/), and The Global Recovery Initiatives Foundation works with leading substance use disorder experts to support research that identifies the most urgent needs in the recovery community and raise funds to address them (https://globalrecoveryinitiatives.org/).
