‘I made this documentary because I want as many people as possible to have information about abstinence-based recovery. In my opinion the best way to deal with alcoholism or drug addiction is to, one day at a time, not drink or use drugs. This is what has worked for me and worked for countless other people.’
Last night’s BBC3 documentary was fascinating……..
Russell Brand – the entertainer – does my head in! It’s kind of a love/hate reaction when I see him on T.V.
This documentary was on a subject that he knows only too well though. His conversation around the issue of drug addiction……..was passionate and heartfelt………..peppered with humour as you would expect……..but, honest!
Russell Brand – the man – is a charismatic character to be sure……..his interest in ‘spiritual’ things is hardly surprising in the celebrity world of 2012………he has a tattoo on his right arm that says “Lord, make me a channel of thy peace”……..he talks a lot about compassion and love for addicts when offering thoughts on treatment……
Like I said, fascinating stuff……in the past I have mentioned celebs and suggested we – Christians – should pray for them………….maybe we could pray for Russell?
