I would add country and American artist John Hiatt, of Nashville, who has been sober for decades.

Also, Michael McDonald of the Doobie Brothers. He's been sober ~35 years.

The most inspiring to me are Elton John, Eric Clapton (who actually owns or funds Crossroads Treatment Center in Antigua) and Joe Walsh.

I got sober a little after Elton and Eric and a little before Joe.

They all put a great name and face on recovery.

Alongside all of them, though, are the tragedies, like Philip Seymour Hoffman and many others.

To me, AA (and recovery generally) has always been a dichotomy of miracles on the one hand a tragedies on the other.

I suggest that the next thread be about celebrities who need to be clean and sober.

Just kidding.
