About this episode

Neil Scott interviews Brian Harris, who shares his incredible journey of recovery amidst personal tragedies.

Recovery Coast to Coast host Neil Scott introduces listeners to an amazing man who has been in recovery for 27 years. During his recovery, he was in a terrible car crash and was told he would never walk again; his oldest daughter was killed by her husband, who then took his own life, and he suffered a near-fatal heart attack. He came close to drinking, but he leaned into recovery, His name is Brian Harris, and he has written a book, chronicling his journey: what it was like, what happened, and what it's like today. The book is STOP DIGGING-START LIVING and is a must-read for those still suffering, as well as for those in recovery, and family members and friends. If you click on the title, it will take you to the book, and you can read a free sample. If you prefer audiobooks, CLICK H ERE for a link to the audiobook, with a free sample, as well. This is the best book I have read on addiction and recovery in years! And at the end of the podcast, iconic actor Danny Trejo gets today's Last Word!
