Right on.... I didn't know there was National Alcohol And Drug Addiction Recovery Month. I've heard a lot of stories; the best ones end with..."that was a long time ago; I don't know how I could have done that to myself." So many people are lost to this....

Very cool. I was just reading that he wrote a book due out this month about his battle with addiction. I thought it was neat that he's also releasing a soundtrack to the book. Each chapter has a song to accompany it. He's donating some of the proceeds to a charity that helps at risk kids through music.
