    From a broken home of alcoholism and fake identities, Daniel Schwarzhoff emerges thru Wall Street to recovery

    Daniel Schwarzhoff discovered pretty late in life that he was not really a Schwarzhoff: that the man he had always considered his father was not his biological dad.  It explained a lot.  At least it gave a shape to the chaos that had marked his early life.  He rose above that chaos with a career on Wall Street but brought a lot of it with him as well. When it eventually became too much, he found a twelve step meeting that really revealed how far gone he'd become.

    Acclaimed wellness author Patti Clark shares her journey to recovery

    Patti Clark grew up in Redwood City where she overcame a childhood marked by absentee parents to graduate high school and attend a good college. A sort of divine intervention shaped the trajectory of her life and then a tarot card reader helped her recognize her own addiction.  She spent 13 years sober, determined to raise her own children in a way that was different from her own upbringing, but then - after 13 years sober - started drinking again.  But she’s sober now and has a new book out - RECOVERY ROAD TRIP - which is part narrative and part work book - a compendium of weekly exercises to chart a more fulfilling path of your own. I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation.

    TV's Frank from Mystery Science Theater 3000, Frank Conniff!

    Frank Conniff has been a stand up and writer and producer for many tv shows like Sabrina the teenage witch but he’s probably best know for his role as TV’s Frank on the Peabody Award winning cult hit Mystery Science Theater 3000 where he also served as a writer. I discovered Frank as one of the many members of my extended clan of Murray-McDonnell cousins. When I started doing standup, everyone in my family asked me if we had met each other so I started following him on Twitter and discovered he was, in fact, sober. I had his email address from a family group email and here we are...

    Scion of Hollywood icon, David Niven, shares his story of old Hollywood and sobriety...

    My original notes...   Jamie Niven is the son of international movie star and academy award winner for best actor, David Niven.  But I really knew him from my parents crowd of waspy New Yorkers spending the summers out on Long Island where he was always the life of the party and where growing up I had rarely seen any of his set get sober.  He had a career in finance before becoming an entrepreneur and then spent 20 years at Sothebys where he eventually rose to the position of Chairman of the Americas.  He has a long career in philanthropy and currently chairs the Partnership to End Addiction.

    RERUN - Clancy Martin talks about his memoire HOW NOT TO KILL YOURSELF

    Reposting this as it again proves sadly timely in my community, and Clancy Martin's book is an invaluable resource for suicide prevention.   Clancy Martin is the author of the recently published, highly acclaimed memoire - HOW NOT TO KILL YOURSELF - which is also an enlightened and practical guide to suicide prevention.  Clancy speaks from experience as he is the survivor of at least ten attempts to take his own life.  And as a recovering alcoholic, he looks at suicide - at least in part - through the lens of addiction.  I found the book revelatory and - as someone who regularly contemplates taking his own life - wildly helpful.  And I also think the wisdom Clancy shares in this conversation alone could save lives.

    Rerun - Episode 31 - Eric Hahn

    Keep seeing Eric in my social media feed, and he is always just so frikken funny, innovative and original.  Impecable delivery.  Check him out!  He talks here a lot here about what it was like to grow up as a gay man in the mid-west!   Eric Hahn is a stand up comedian who grew up in a steel town in Ohio where he started drinking at age 12.  He narrowly escaped a career as a butcher before finding his way to Los Angeles via a lucrative career in the restaurant business which was upended when his employers saw his first stand up set on YouTube.  I realized Eric was sober via his hilarious twitter feed, and he shared with me here some frank and very very funny stories about coming of age as a gay man in the mid-west.
