I do not like Phish, but I can respect and appreciate their talent (of which there is no short supply). In light of that, it's great to see a talented person get out of a horrible lifestyle and focus on their gift. Congrats Trey!

you hearing this, dea? that's how stupid the drug war is. take it from trey, these people need help and treatment, not prison. duh.

such a sweet guy

[recoveryphish]

what has helped me and my path of recovery was knowing that trey was able to get out of his funk and realize what is more important in life., and that i would and could still go to shows with good clean programs like the phellowship and jellyfish, for the support i need in situations like that... go trey thanks for helping me stay clean today

Great work Trey! I'm really glad Trey went through this ordeal... because now Phish is back together and playing their best music in their entire careers.

Which is a great example... you don't need drugs to do the amazing.

What a good man!

[DianimalMarie]

thank you thank you thank you

[phishinallday]

we love you Trey.. and you are obviously more than a guitarist..but you know that

[mudshark1971]

@telemarkgurl your a retard! Trey isnt the reason he does drugs and either are his fans. The two have never been intergrated, so why should Trey preach to his fans about drugs, when he could be doing his job, playing and performing music! He doesnt need to preach to us! We know what he went through, we were with him every step of the way. The phans now where shirts pins and stickers that say "Keep Trey Sober" or "I <3 Sober Trey. I think the phans got the message! DUH!

[telemarkgurl]

It's great Trey is talking about these gatherings to let thouse working in Drug Court know they make a difference. I challenge Trey to take it one step further...to spread the word to his fans. With Phish back on tour, so are, sadly, fans who use drugs.

Wow.

[treybegood]

Trey...this made me cry, brother. I can't begin to tell you how thrilled I am to see you sober, happy, & healthy, and I commend you're courage in coming forward to talk about such a serious issue. Since I first heard your music in 1992 you've been, with the utmost sincerity, a true inspiration and hero to me. Wherever life may take you from here on out, I hope it's long and full of JOY. Thank you for all the wonderful memories. I long to shake your hand one day.

[philipwalter87]
