It's a great depiction of how bad things can get and how you can keep pushing through, and there's always redemption if you can stay out of prison and don't die, even if you do go to prison, stay out of prison and don't die.
Imagine living a life shadowed by addiction, broken promises, and despair. That's the reality James Brown faced, and in this episode of 'Recovery in the Middle Ages', Mike and Nat dive into his gripping memoirs, 'The Los Angeles Diaries' and 'This River'. These books are the first two in Brown's recovery trilogy, offering a raw and unfiltered look at his struggle for survival and eventual redemption.
Plagued by the suicides of both his siblings and his own battles with substance abuse, Brown's story is one of deep pain but also profound resilience. Mike and Nat discuss the importance of processing past trauma, finding supportive environments, and the various methods available for addiction recovery. They highlight how Brown's memoirs don't just tell a story of despair but also one of hope and redemption.
The guys touch on alternative recovery methods and the role of 12-Step programs, offering listeners a comprehensive view of the tools available for maintaining sobriety. In addition to discussing Brown's memoirs, Mike shares anecdotes from his recent trip to Savannah, while Nat talks about how he manages when his wife is out of town. And if you think that's all, think again!
