RMA-Episode 114: Bouncing Back: Chris Herron's Memoir "Basketball Junkie," and Queen Liz of Monksterhaven Joins Us!
This week, hosts Mike and Nat are thrilled to have a chat with Liz S, our longtime listener and the first guest on our new segment, “Meet a Monkster”. Plus, we take a deep dive into the addiction memoir, "Basketball Junkie."
Liz S, has been an active and supportive listener of RMA since its early days. In today’s interview she shares her recovery journey, the unique challenges she faced as an older person ditching the booze in her 70s, her strategies for maintaining sobriety, and her thoughts on the importance of community in recovery.
Mike and Nat also review and discuss the memoir "Basketball Junkie" by Chris Herren, a former professional basketball player who battled addiction. The hosts share their reactions to the book, their thoughts on Herren's recovery journey, and the lessons to be learned from his story. They also discuss the cultural implications of addiction in the world of professional sports.

If you’re in trouble with substance abuse and need help, reach out. There are thousands of people who have put problems with addiction in their rear-view mirrors and you can be one of them. While we neither endorse nor condemn any particular program, the sheer number of available AA and NA meetings suggest that reaching out to those organizations would be a good first step (but maybe not the last step), on your road to recovery.
