National Nightly Radio talk show dealing with addiction and recovery celebrates its third anniversary with a lineup of nationally known guests.
Seattle, WA, October 23, 2008 --(PR.com)-- RECOVERY - Coast to Coast, America’s nightly ‘voice for recovery,’ which deals with alcoholism, other addictions and recovery, celebrated it’s third anniversary Tuesday night, October 21, 2008 with a special two hour program featuring Grammy award winning singer-songwriter Bonnie Raitt, award winning actress Mariette Hartley; Chuck Negron, former lead singer of Three Dog Night; Actress Mariette Hartley; Matt Bradley from the Discovery Channel’s popular TV Show "Deadliest Catch;" Texas Rangers All-Star center fielder Josh Hamilton; and former major league baseball All-Star Darryl Strawberry. The show also features parts of a previous interview with former First Lady Betty Ford. For the past three years, listeners in Western Washington and around the country have been tuning in for information, education, inspiration and celebration on RECOVERY - Coast to Coast, America’s nightly voice for recovery. The show airs on Flagship station KHHO ClearChannel AM850 Monday - Friday from 10PM - Midnight and is broadcast nationally in streaming audio Monday through Friday at 10PM. The last five shows are always available to listen to at www.recoverycoasttocoast.org
The nightly two hour radio program features interviews with America’s leading experts on addiction and recovery, as well as recovering celebrities, treatment professionals, authors and prominent news makers in the first hour.
The second hour of each program features everyday people in recovery from addiction, sharing their individual path to recovery, offering experience, strength and hope for others. "Everyone in recovery has a positive story that people can relate to," says Neil Scott, the program's host. "By talking about what it was like, what happened and what it’s like now, the program speaks directly to those who are in need of help, as well as to family members and friends who need to know that there is help and hope for those suffering from this misunderstood disease."
The two hour nightly radio show is produced and hosted by Neil Scott, a national addiction and media consultant and veteran media talent, who also does special assignment work, covering Seattle sports teams for the Fox Sports Radio Network, ESPN Radio and Sirius Satellite Radio. He is also an update anchor on Sports Radio 950 KJR in Seattle.
"Radio is a powerful way to carry the message of hope and the promise of recovery in an informative, entertaining, interactive manner," said Scott, who has worked for the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence (NCADD) and other national, state and local organizations. "Addiction affects 22 million people in this country, and each one of them adversely affects four to six others, including family and friends."
RECOVERY - Coast to Coast is a resource for people seeking recovery, as well as those looking to enhance their own recovery. Scott stresses the positive, "The bright side of addiction is recovery, and recovery is an American way of life. Addiction is a treatable disease from which people can and do successfully recover. Those suffering from addiction are not bad people trying to be good, they are sick people who are trying to get well. There is no such thing as a hopeless addict."
The two hour nightly program is produced by The Alliance for Recovery, a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide awareness, education and information about addiction and recovery. "Our biggest challenge," says Scott "is raising money to stay on the air. Alcoholism and addiction are among the hardest diseases to raise money for, because of the pervasive negative stigma. The radio show accepts donations and carries commercial advertising, as well.
