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 006: Tommy Vext of Bad Wolves is an open book. A recent author and longtime metal musician, Tommy knows how to channel his life experiences into opportunities for teaching. Throughout our conversation, he shares how traumatic experiences in his childhood lead him down a path to addiction that he finally escaped in 2009. Since then, Tommy dedicates his time to helping others, both in and out of music. He's a frontman and a sobriety coach, with clients who were once his idols.   

Bad Wolves' song "Sober" appears in the upcoming film 'Sno Babies.' Proceeds from the song go to support one of our partners, The Global Recovery Initiatives Foundation.

High Notes 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/).
