Description

Between the Lines Recovery is a platform for the stories of some of the unique people I have met during my journey through drug addiction and recovery. Some of the guests you may recognize from my memoir of the same name, but I will also interview some equally interesting people unrelated to that journey who have important stories to tell.

I believe that everyone has a story we should hear, and that if we take the time to ask the right questions and to listen to the answers, we can all learn from each other. The better you know someone, the harder it is to hate them.

Think about it.

In this very special episode, Moe pontificates on a recovery related topic of his choosing, as usual. But wait...there's more. In the spirit of saying yes to everything, Moe agreed to play along with me and answer a bunch of rapid fire questions, right off the dome, as they say. Trust me, his responses in this "speed round" that we decided on the fly to call, "Catch and Shoot" are definitely worth listening to.
