JP Beaumont Recovers in Print - Over 30 Years in Long Term Recovery

RC2C host Neil Scott begins this podcast with a tribute to legendary actor Sir Anthony Hopkins, who just celebrated his 49th sober birthday. Neil then visits with NY Times best-selling author JA Jance, whose character JP Beaumont is a former Seattle homicide detective, who dealt with his drinking by going into treatment in book 8. The new book 'Den of Iniquity' is book 26, and Beau is a grateful (fictional charachter) in long term recovery. 

Although Judy is not in recovery, she spent  years with a practicing alcoholic husband, who died from his disease. Judy wrote a poignant book of poetery - After the Fire - which has become a best seller. Judy Jance will read from that book, as well, in this podcast. 

And the podcast concludes with some inspirational words about recovery from award-winning actress Ali McGraw.
