Veteran broadcast journalist Bill Moyers, family plan to discuss addiction, recovery

Veteran broadcast journalist Bill Moyers, his wife Judith Davidson Moyers and their son William C. Moyers plan to discuss their family's trials with addiction and recovery at a National Press Club book event on Wednesday, Feb. 27 at 6:30 p.m.

Tickets are required. Please register by at http://www.press.org/events/moyers. A book signing of William's book, Now What?: An Insiders Guide to Addiction and Recovery will follow the discussion. This event is a fundraiser for the National Press Club Journalism Institute. No outside books are permitted.

William C. Moyers survived multiple relapses and near-fatal experiences with his addiction to alcohol and other drugs as he sought to find a treatment program that worked for him.

As he struggled, his parents were also battling to understand what was happening to their son and what to do about it. Thanks to a successful intervention, intensive inpatient treatment, and a rigorous 12-step program, Moyers has been clean and sober since 1994, and has devoted his life to guiding others to get the help they need.
