Limbeck Drummer Jonny Phillips on Sobriety, Fatherhood, Recovery | Episode 250

For Episode 250 of The Imperfect Dads Podcast, I’m joined by Jonny Phillips, longtime drummer for the band Limbeck, host of the Breaking Down Addictions podcast, and team member at National Addiction Specialists. Jonny and I dive into fatherhood, recovery, music, and the life changes that come with becoming a parent. We talk about his family's desire to live closer to the water, growing up as a dedicated Milwaukee sports fan, and how having a child changes the way you experience touring, concerts, and nights out. We also discuss the daily routines and rhythms he and his wife have built with their child, his love of golf, what sobriety means to him today, and the perspective he's gained through recovery. Jonny shares his journey of getting sober, why he's passionate about helping others, and how he launched the Breaking Down Addictions podcast to create honest conversations around addiction and recovery. This episode is especially meaningful because it's Episode 250 of The Imperfect Dads Podcast. Jonny perfectly represents the kinds of conversations I love having—talking with dads who are balancing family life, creativity, recovery, personal growth, and the gratitude that comes from building a life they once only hoped was possible. Whether you're a parent, musician, someone in recovery, or simply navigating a new season of life, there's a lot to take away from this conversation.
