Join me Jason LaChance host of the Knockin' Doorz Down podcast, certified addiction recovery coach, and mental health advocate for my sit down with special guest "Hurricane" Nita Strauss. You know Nita Strauss for her work with Alice Cooper, Demi Lovato, and her latest solo album 'The Call Of The Void'. But what you may not know is that Nita struggled with alcoholism.

Nita and I discuss how her childhood as well as being a traveling musician played into her substance abuse. As well as how her fiance made it clear that he loved her but could no longer allow her access to him if she didn't make a change for the better. Now sober over 7 years, Nita shares how Alice Copper himself, and other rock legends such as Zakk Wylde and Nikki Sixx lent support to her recovery. We also talk about her time working with Demi Lovato, and how she got a Superbowl ring as a part of the RAMS Superbowl run. Plus performing Shinsuke Nakamura's entrance song at WWE's Wrestlemania.

We finish our conversation with fun random questions and Nita Strauss finishes with final thoughts. This is Nita Strauss Knockin’ Doorz Down.
