NITA STRAUSS Celebrates Sobriety Milestone

Congratulations to guitarist Nita Strauss (Alice Cooper) who is celebrating nine years of sobriety. This morning (Thursday, September 5), Nita shared the image below, revealing she has been sober for nine years, 108 months, 3,289 days or 78,916 hours.

Subsequently, Strauss posted the following message:

"Thank you all for the love today [❤️] I know that in recovery we are never alone, but it definitely can get lonely on the road anyway! And seeing lots of your stories in the comments and the camaraderie that so many of us share put a smile on my face all day.

I often think that tour is a dangerous place to try and stay sober because there is so much opportunity to slip at any given moment. Beer, wine and liquor out on a shelf for the taking in every room including the tour bus… bars on every corner of every day off city where you don’t know a single person, where you could duck in and have a drink or a shot and no one at home would ever know.

They say that your integrity is what you do when no one is looking… your sobriety is the same, on the road and off. It’s what you do and how you show up for yourself that counts.

Those intrusive thoughts may always be there, but every day you don’t act on them is a win!

If you’re reading this and you feel alone on your journey, know that I see you and I’m with you [❤️]

I’m celebrating with yummy lobster tacos and a nice cold water on a hot day [😋] Very grateful indeed."

Nita Strauss is among the artists booked for Rock ‘n’ Roll Fantasy Camp' third annual Women’s Rock Camp, also featuring Nancy Wilson (Heart), Sheila E. (Prince), Lita Ford (The Runaways), Rhonda Smith (Jeff Beck) and many more. This special camp will take place December 5-8, 2024 in Los Angeles, California.

Join a band mentored by one of the Rockstar Counselors and spend four days jamming hits including: "Crazy On You", "When Doves Cry", "Kiss Me Deadly", "Billion Dollar Babies", "Mustang Sally", and many more.

To cap off these surreal four days, you'll perform live in Hollywood on the Sunset Strip at the legendary Viper Room.

Your Rockstar Counselors at this camp will include: Roxy Petrucci (Vixen), Eva Gardner (P!nk), Jennie Vee (Eagles Of Death Metal), Julia Lage (Vixen), Jennifer Oberle (Sarah McLachlan), Britt Lightning (Vixen) and more.

This camp is powered by Billboard, and will feature a panel of music executives led by Melinda Newman, Executive Editor at Billboard.

Prior to camp, you'll have a call with musical director Britt Lightning (Vixen) to ensure you're placed in the perfect band. You'll receive a song list to start rehearsing, and before camp begins, you'll connect with your rockstar counselor and bandmates to prepare for your epic journey.

During the four days of camp, you'll experience band rehearsals, jam sessions, masterclasses with rockstar counselors, Q&A sessions, live performances and more.

This camp is open to female instrumentalists and vocalists of all ages and playing levels. The Women’s Rock Camp is exclusive to lady rockers. Sign up here.
