Tough Love in the Boogie Down Bronx! Reviewing Sober Living Doc. “Sister Helen.”
RMA-Episode 102 Show Notes:
RMA-Episode 102: Tough Love in the Boogie Down Bronx. This week on RMA, Mike and Nat review the 2000 documentary “Sister Helen.” Sister Helen Travis was a recovering alcoholic and Benedictine sister who spent the last years of her life running a 23-bed halfway house in the rough-and-tumble slum of the South Bronx. She embarked upon this rugged and dangerous ministry in response to the murder of her 15-year-old son, the loss of her husband to alcoholism, and the death of her other son from drugs. In various scenes, Sister Helen asserts her will in a unique brand of tough love, in a tough environment.
We also read a new review and take a look at whether any amount of alcohol is beneficial to your health. (Spoiler: no.) All this and more, on a very special episode of Recovery in the Middle Ages.

If you’re in trouble with substance abuse and need help, reach out. There are thousands of people who have put problems with addiction in their rear-view mirrors and you can be one of them. While we neither endorse nor condemn any particular program, the sheer number of available AA and NA meetings suggest that reaching out to those organizations would be a good first step (but maybe not the last step), on your road to recovery.
