I believe that Edie Falco is a recovering alcoholic, I read an in depth interview about her a few years back while the Sopranos was still on TV. She is also a big dog person, her Labradors traveled with her.

didn't Frank Zappa die a few years back?

A close friend of mine (actually, my sponsor) was a drinking and using buddy of Waylon Jennings.

My friend got sober first and then Waylon did shortly afterward in the early 1980s.

I suppose "ttttties and beer" must be crossed off my list of favorite tunes. I saw Frank years ago. Played for over three hours and no nonsense. I have an extensive FZ collection. I don't know if anyone mentioned Uncle Ted.

yes, I see him on the original list

A lot of those hard living, whiskey drinking country musicians eventually sobered up, including Steve Earle. Townes Van Zandt was one of the greatest song writers of all time in my opinion, and unfortunately he died of complications resulting from alcoholism. Apparently he was so far down at one point he offered to sell his entire catalog of music for $20 so he could buy some whiskey.

RIP Townes Van Zandt. What a beautiful but tortured soul.

George Jones was sober before he passed on.

I was watching CMT a few weeks ago and Brantley Gilbert was on. They played his video for Bottoms Up and then interviewed him. She asked, "did you turn a few bottoms up before you wrote that song?" (insinuating he may have been drunk when he wrote it). He answered, "No, Ma'am, I haven't had a drink in more than 2 years."

Morrissee is sober and an active member of AA. Someone who was at one of my meetings was at a Seattle meeting with him.

Penn Jillette is sober. In fact, if i recall correctly, he has never touch alcohol. That's damn impressive, being that he's a successful Vegas magician

I find it inspiring to hear about these folks.

So many times I read where folks in recovery are worried about what to tell people if they're offered a drink in social settings

Joe Walsh, Ringo, Tom Waits, David Bowie, Eminem and 50 Cent… I mean, I just can't imagine them having any problem telling ANYONE "No thanks - I don't drink."
