Former NYC Cop Hits a Home Run for Recovery at Yankee Stadium, and Actor Russell Brand Reflects on 20 Years Clean & Sober

RC2C Hosr Neil Scott begins the podcast by referring to a recent article in the Seattle Times, with some interesting - and alarming - stats about alcohol and women. Here is the link to that story https://www.seattletimes.com/life/food-drink/dear-dry-january-we-need-to-talk/ The conversation in this edition of RC2C is from the audio archive ... back to the 5th Anniversary of Recovery-Coast to Coast, when it was on iHeart Radio in Seattle. The show was done at the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY, and the guest was a former NYC policeman, former US Marine, practicing attorney, singer/songwriter, and a person in long terms recovery. He once hit a 'home run for recovery' at Yankee Stadium. He has a fascinating story and will sing a few of his original songs. Then we hear from actor Russell Brand, with his reflections on being clean and sober for 20 years!
