New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Michael Martinez Publicist) Recording artist Tom Moran aka Daddy Rocker is announcing the release of LIVE OR DIE: CHOOSE?, a four song EP of songs inspired by his recovery from alchohol and addiction. Tom's songs of hope and inspiration are deeply personal explorations of the joys and pains of living life without alchohol and drugs. The message Tom wants to share in this selection of songs is a mesage of hope and recovery and the message that addicts do have a choice.
"I am announcing the release of LIVE OR DIE: CHOOSE? because I have seen to many entertainers die from substance abuse and I believe the message of recovery is needed now more than ever. It was heartbreaking to see artists that I admired like Michael Jackson, Whitney
Houston and
Amy Winehouse die from the disease of addiction. I have been in recovery for 21 years and I know what it is like to be addicted. I want the world to know that there is a better way to live and that recovery is an option. I also want artists and entertainers to know that you can live a full and creative life without alchohol and drugs. I sing about many topics but what moves and inspires me the most is when I sing about the hope of recovery."
In my song, "
Starting Over", I sing "Addiction is a mighty tough thing/It can sneak up to you at anytime/I know it's happened to me quite a few times/It didn't seem like there was anyway out/but I'm starting over." Sometimes we make mistakes in life and need another chance to start over. I know I made a lot of mistakes in my life and I needed another chance and I got one with recovery. The best decision I made in my life was to get clean and sober. At the end of my song, "I Would Drink", I sing, "But now I'm sober and clean/and my friends tell me to take it one day at a time." That's how I live my life today, one day at a time, and I believe people should hear that message today. It might save a life!" - Tom Moran / Daddy Rocker
