RMA-Episode 60-Show Notes: This week on RMA we welcome our first in-studio guest, Joseph Naus, the author of the wildly successful addiction and recovery memoirs, Straight Pepper Diet and The Palsgraf Revelation. Joseph was kind enough to give us some time to talk about his books and his recovery, and he also accompanied Nat on his Recovery in the News scat singing! We recorded two episodes a little while ago where we reviewed Joseph's books and gave our impressions, so if you want some background on that make sure to give episodes 42 and 43 a listen. Some of you who joined us more recently might be wondering, “but who is this Joseph Naus person?” In his own words, “On Tuesday, I was a respected civil trial lawyer making six-figures. On Wednesday, I woke up handcuffed to a hospital bed charged with attempted murder … and then it got worse.” Joseph W. Naus was born in 1971. He graduated from Pepperdine Law and passed the Bar in 1997. As related in his harrowing yet hopeful memoir, Straight Pepper Diet, Joseph was raised by his mom, a heroin addict turned shut-in depressive, amidst crime and poverty. At age 32, Joseph's American Dream life became a nightmare when his addictions to sex, alcohol and cigarettes collided and exploded. Despite the odds, Joseph is alive and well. He lives in Highland Park in Los Angeles with his wife, Theresa, and their cat, Bogey, and released his follow-up memoir The Palsgraf Revelation on February 15, 2020. Join us as we have a conversation with Joseph and find out how he managed to bounce off a dark, low bottom to now enjoy a full life in the light of recovery. Plus, the week in review and the usual hijinks on live, in-studio, storeroom-filled episode of Recovery in the Middle Ages.

How does a two-time felon, registered sex offender, disbarred attorney claw his way back to a normal life? Joseph W. Naus is a former guest and we are thrilled to have him back on the Recovery Revolution to do an exclusive live Q&A with our community members! You might remember him as the author of Straight Pepper Diet about how at age 32, Joseph's American Dream-life became a nightmare when his addictions to sex, alcohol and cigarettes collided and exploded. "On Tuesday, I was a respected civil trial lawyer making six-figures. On Wednesday, I woke up handcuffed to a hospital bed charged with attempted murder...and then it got worse." Joseph talks about the deal he made with the devil to get out of jail, being released into the wreckage his addictions caused, and the miracles that took place along the way. He also talks about his new follow-up memoir that details how he leaned into recovery and spirituality to become the grateful man he is today.

Joseph W. Naus is the author of Straight Pepper Diet: A memoir. How did he become an author? Joseph says all roads lead to hell when he's asked that question. Listen to how sex addiction combined with blackout drinking led to the outrageous and life-threatening situation that destroyed his old life and gave birth to his new one.
Joseph W. Naus was born in 1971 in Southern California's Inland Empire. He both graduated from Pepperdine Law and passed the Bar Exam in 1997. Joseph survived a hardscrabble, impoverished childhood, raised by his young mom, a heroin addict turned shut-in depressive, to become a respected lawyer. However, at age 32, his American Dream became a nightmare when his own sex and alcohol addictions collided and exploded. Joseph's harrowing yet hope-filled memoir, Straight Pepper Diet, begins on the last day of his former life. “On Tuesday, I was a respected civil trial lawyer making six-figures. On Wednesday, I woke up handcuffed to a hospital bed … and then it got worse.” Joseph has spent the last twelve years learning humility the hard way: making a living doing everything from picking up the trash on film sets to selling outdoor kitchens at home shows for a former client, all while cleaning up the wreckage of his past and building a new life. Joseph lives in Echo Park in Los Angeles with his girlfriend, Theresa and cat, Bogey. He spends much of his time writing, helping addicts recover, and perfecting his swing on Los Angeles' public golf courses. His next book, Golf is Magic (Not Exactly a Book about Golf) is scheduled for release by Killer McMillan Publishing in 2016.
