Tickets – Live Talks Los Angeles: Russell Brand in conversation with Dr. Drew Pinsky. Recovery: Freedom from Our Addictions is the definitive guide to addiction from someone who has struggled with heroin, alcohol, sex, fame, food, and staring at their phone. This is an age of addiction. America is plagued by crises involving drugs, alcohol, and opioids, and our society is consumed with addictions like work, stress, bad relationships, and digital media. We are facing an epidemic so all-encompassing that many of us don’t even realize we are in its grasp. Russell Brand is here to provide a recovery plan and make sense of the ailing world. While he’s worked on this material as part of his comedy and previous bestsellers, he’s never before shared the tools that really took him out of it, that keep him clean and clear.
