Finding Joy in Sobriety: Dylan Starrs on Purpose, Relapse, and Building a Life That Lasts

39:43 min   |  Dylan Starrs |  Finding New Waters

In this deeply personal episode of Finding New Waters, we sit down with Dylan Starrs, Program Director at Mountain House Recovery in Flagstaff, Arizona. Dylan walks us through his rollercoaster journey—from chasing rock stardom and working at Bel-Air Country Club to disappearing into addiction, crashing in motels, and ultimately finding recovery that stuck. He shares how he stopped “auditing” recovery and finally put real sweat equity into his sobriety—through mentorship, structure, and showing up every day for his community. Dylan also reflects on music, golf, grief, purpose, and what it really means to stay connected to your own recovery while leading others through theirs.

“Sobriety isn’t something you receive. It’s something you build.” – Dylan Starrs
