Turning to some kind of higher power is a key component in many addiction recovery programs. And, as discussed in Osher's recent chat to 360, there's a good reason for that: it helps.

Matt Colwell, better known by his stage name 360, is not the person he was. In this raw and personal conversation, he takes Osher through his full journey - from the romanticised partying rockstar, to self described 'total junkie', to rehab, reset, recovery and reinvention.

He outlines the tricks his ego played to keep him in the grips of addiction, how small actions were crucial in transforming his body and mind, the tools he now ...

Cam Walker isn't here to tell about 'one weird trick that will 10x your life.' He's not even trying to inspire you. But he does know firsthand what it's like to be lost in the depth of feelings of doom, and exactly what helped him slowly reach a place a bit more colourful.

In this chat, he tells Osher all about it, plus his learn...
