You Don’t Deserve a Drink | Hirie Patricia Jetton | TEDxReno

This piece is a reflection on the speaker's journey through addiction and recovery. It highlights their experiences as a touring musician, mother, and spouse, as well as their struggles with mental health issues and alcoholism. The speaker emphasizes the realization that alcohol was used to cope with discomfort and the subsequent transformation towards self-improvement and sobriety. They challenge the notion that anyone deserves a drink, advocating instead for inner peace, self-love, and questioning societal norms. Hirie–the frontwoman of the exhilarating reggae band HIRIE–grew up a global citizen. Her father worked for the United Nations and she was born in the Philippines, spent years in Italy, before her family settled in Hawaii, which became her spiritual home. San Diego’s seven-piece band HIRIE is here to offer a global spiritual uplift. Melding the balmy island touches of its singer’s beloved home—as symbolized by its moniker’s first letter, an “H” for “Hawaii,” with that feeling of irie, the award-winning group offers a soundtrack of hope. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
