McAndrew officially got sober in 1983 and says that music has played a big part in his recovery. Now he’s passing that on to others as a music therapist at Cumberland Heights in Nashville.
“Everybody’s a little bit different because of their life experience and the kind of music they listen to, but music has a power to reach parts of the brain that other stuff doesn’t,” said McAndrew.
McAndrew shared some of those songs with those in attendance while also sharing some of his own experiences with addiction and urging people to seek help if they need it. “It’s not your fault. It’s not the parent’s fault and it’s not the children’s fault,” said McAndrew. “There’s help out there with people who have experience.”
If you or someone you know wants to try music therapy, you can reach out to Cumberland Heights at 615-356-2700 or you can reach out to John McAndrews at 615-668-6698.
