Discussing Russell Brand’s Book ”Recovery,’’ and How He Reframes the 12 Steps

Recovery in the Middle Ages - Two Middle-Aged Suburban Dads Talk About Recovering From Addiction to Drugs & Alcohol.

RMA-Episode 93 Show Notes:

RMA-Episode 93: Book Review-Russell Brand’s Recovery. Love him or hate him, it’s hard to ignore him. Russell Brand is an English comedian and actor best known for his flamboyant, loquacious style and manner. He is also, at this writing, 18 years sober from drugs and alcohol. Russell’s outsized personality is on full display in his 2018 book Recovery, which purports to re-invent the 12 steps into a program that’s more relevant to the modern age. Was he successful, or is this just a case of putting old wine into a new bottle? Tune in to find out!

If you’re in trouble with substance abuse and need help, reach out. There are thousands of people who have put problems with addiction in their rear-view mirrors and you can be one of them. While we neither endorse nor condemn any particular program, the sheer number of available AA and NA meetings suggest that reaching out to those organizations would be a good first step on the road to recovery.
