• From DUI to Off-Broadway: Sean Daniels Turns Alcoholism Into Art

  If you’ve ever wondered whether “drinking is just part of my personality” is a solid life plan, this episode is for you. I’m joined by the hilarious and brutally honest Sean Daniels, a theater director who managed to get fired from his dream job for day drinking, then turned his mess into an Off-Broadway play and a whole nonprofit, the Recovery Arts Project. We talk relapse (so much more common than people admit), brain chemistry, secret Mormon drinking, and why nobody brings you a casserole when you go to rehab. Come for the drunk stories, stay for the hope.

Writer and mom of two Dana Bowman joins me to talk about growing up with a “dry drunk” dad, becoming the straight-A, teacher-of-the-year perfectionist, and then secretly drinking her face off on the couch.
