SOBER AND FAITHFUL –
MARCH 3, 2026 – Papa Roach singer Jacoby Shaddix says sobriety and faith are the two things he spent most of his life trying to avoid and the two things that ultimately changed him. “The two things I never wanted to be in my life was sober and a Christian,” Shaddix said on the “Dumb Blonde” podcast with host Bunnie XO. “Here I am now: A follower and a sober guy.”
Shaddix described a long, messy road that included relapse, doubt and what he called repeatedly ending up in a “deep dark hole” after taking his will back and trying to run his life on his own terms. He framed his turning point as a collapse, recalling the moment he stopped trying to manage change on his own and started asking for help he could not manufacture.
