But the bit that really blew my mind wasn’t clear until today. Everyone knows Trungpa was a hard core drinker and a super bad-ass teacher. Some say a genius. If he were alive today, I feel that we would have a relationship. I know how to be sober, and many of his students to this day still struggle with addiction. 
On the way to Sun Valley Idaho to speak at the festival there. Will be having dinner with some other authors, including Bob Thurman! Sun Valley Wellness Festival |

The 12 Steps: An Antidote for Celebrities and Other Narcissistic Addicts
The show discussed not so successful celebrity narcissist addicts such as Amy Winehouse, Steve O, Lindsay Lohan, Heath Ledger, Celebrity Rehab participants Seth “Shifty” Binzer and Mary Carey. On the winning side were Jack Osbourne, Craig Ferguson, Tom Arnold and Robert Downy Jr. who are all currently clean and sober. I consider myself an expert on addiction but I learned a couple of things watching that special which I’d like to explore further here in my first blog for the Huffington Post.
