In this episode of Recovery Coast to Coast, host Neil Scott pays tribute to the legendary actor Sir Anthony Hopkins for celebrating 49 years of sobriety. The spotlight then shifts to a fascinating conversation with NY Times best-selling author JA Jance. Jance's character, JP Beaumont, a former Seattle homicide detective, has been in long-term recovery for over 30 years across 16 books.
While Jance herself is not in recovery, she shares her experiences living with an alcoholic husband who sadly passed away from his addiction. This personal connection deeply informs her writing, making Beaumont's journey through recovery all the more authentic and gripping. Jance also reads from her poignant book of poetry, 'After the Fire', which captures the raw emotions and challenges of living with an alcoholic partner.
The episode wraps up with reflections from actress Ali McGraw on her own recovery journey, adding another layer of inspiration and hope. If you're looking for an engaging mix of literary discussion and heartfelt recovery stories, this episode is a must-listen.
