Hi Reddit! I am SARTAIN. Charles Moss interviewed me for SPIN Magazine about my upbringing in a fundamentalist Christian cult, Bill Gothard's IBLP, before I was abruptly placed in one of the biggest high schools in Georgia. That's where I found alcohol and cocaine which started a long trajectory of drug and alcohol abuse which nearly cost me my life three years ago when I was hospitalized and had 8 liters of fluid drained from my abdomen. I survived, got clean, and returned to music, where I met Dean and made my EP Push On Through, the follow up to my self titled album I wrote in rehab. I'm, also a cancer survivor, dual resident of Nashville and Atlanta, and a collector of Funko's. l love dogs, Oasis, punk rock, my beardy Laszlo, country music, and talking about mental health. Music can be found by searching SARTAIN on any service. Let’s have some fun, going live at 7 ET- AMA! submitted by /u/Jalapenis_Greenis [link] [comments]
