Recovery Radio

In this episode we have guest Eilene Zimmerman joining the show to discuss her book Smacked: A Story of White-Collar Ambition, Addiction, and Tragedy. Smacked is a moving memoir of Eilene’s discovery of her ex-husband's addiction after his early death. The novel follows her as she unravels the signs leading up to his death and coping with the aftermath of his passing. After speaking with Eilene, we have Brent Eaton, the prosecuting attorney for Hancock County, Indiana, and Reg McCutcheon, the Executive director at Landmark Recovery in Carmel, Indiana, joining us to talk about an encouragement of law enforcement to prosecute overdoses in Indiana in hopes of getting people the treatment they need. We hope their conversation will bring to light the relationship between the government and local addiction programs and their shared goal of helping local residents.
