We all go through that phase. I did as well, but I dug into the Christian side of the music and got serious with playing in bands, developed some friendships and experiences. So, somewhat the opposite of your path, but similar launching points.

I should have mentioned but, I didn't think about it. My last gig, I was standing in for a rhythm guitarist who quit.I did that quite often back then. I played sessions at the local recording studio. The Riffmeister, that was my thing. I fell in love with the studio in 1981 when the band I was in recorded a demo single. I nailed my track on the first take and that was it for me. To heck with stardom, this is where the magic happens. I stayed with my band until I moved and it was my last one. The changes in recording technology from tape to digital, which at that time was very expensive, caused many of the smaller studios to close. Too bad, I still prefer the sound of analog compared to digital. I don't do much anymore but when I unbox my home studio and do my thing and listen to the playback...it still gives me chills because it not a band playing, it's all me.
Sometimes, I wonder how I could be so naive as to believe the people who urged me to get out of "Devil music". I was always sober in the studio, it was outside of music that I was drunken doper. I was vulnerable, looking for answers and believed what I was told. If there's such a thing as church abuse then I'm a victim. A lot of long term, live altering bad decisions were made under the influence of Evangelical BS. Those crappy choices I had to live with did keep me digging for God's truth, an unintended consequence for sure but, it led to better things. Now, I want to share those better things and that ties up "new old mission" with a pretty bow.
