[7] Tait founded Passenger Recovery as a service that provides resources for people recovering from addiction while on the road.
[14] In an article Tait wrote for the creative collective Nothing in the Rulebook, he said that he hoped his own personal experiences of addiction would mean the project worked for others finding themselves in a similar situation: "I’m not alone, and much as my ego would like me to be the only single “tortured artist” on the planet that’s ever dealt with this, I’m not.
We’re everywhere [...] Our hope is to present a united front where artists from all walks of life can stand together to support those who have recognized issues or concerns in their own lives.
