Recovery

Russell Brand is a comedian and an addict. He's been addicted to drugs, sex, fame, money and power. Even now as a father, fourteen and a half years into recovery he still writes about himself in the third person and that can't be healthy. Recovery is his fourth book. He still performs as a comic and is studying for an MA in Religion in Global Politics. He has two cats, a dog, a wife, two babies, ten chickens and 60 thousand bees in spite of being vegan curious. He is certain that the material world is an illusion but still keeps licking the walls of the hologram.
