Today I have my homie Dakota aka @noddygod on the podcast. He talks about his early life growing up in San Diego and at 18 years old he was playing for a band with his best friend Jacob Newell and was engulfed in the party scene of the music industry. He quickly went from partying with friends into severe opiate addiction. After losing several friends to overdoses and wanting a better life Dakota decided to get clean and has been for 7 years! . He created his noddy god Instagram to bring some levity for addicts that can relate and wanting to reach out to others who are still struggling with active addiction and show that recovery is possible. He also still plays music and is currently playing with the band @somehowunseen
