Jeff Shane Tells Us About His Recovery and What It Is Like In The Music Biz

On today’s episode of The SHAIR Podcast we have Jeff Shane joining us.  Jeff now 4 ½ years clean takes us through 4 decades of sex, drugs and rock and roll.  His adventure starts out in 1966 experimenting with all kinds of drugs like mescaline, peyote and marijuana.  All through high school and college Jeff was partying like a rock star. After college he bounced around from job to job until he got hired in the mail room at CBS records and worked his way up to Vice President of Rock Promotions at Capitol Records handling artists like Bog Segar, Paul McCartney, Queen and the Doobie Brothers.

After 9 years at Capitol records and consuming massive amounts of drugs with all the rock stars he was promoting, he leaves Capitol to start his own company.  Shortly thereafter he gets into a car accident and hurts his back.  This is where Jeff’s addiction goes into full gear, popping Vicodin all day like they were jelly beans, somas with codeine, tons of weed and lots and lots of cocaine. Jeff finally hits rock bottom and his journey into recovery begins.

Today Jeff is retired and spends every day doing service and helping others, volunteering at hospitals, the Salvation Army, the boys and girls clubs, as well as teaching kindergarten at his granddaughter’s school. He’s an amazing grandfather and responsible productive member of society.  It’s an amazing story of hope and an incredible journey of recovery, join us now!
