September 13, 2020 • 42 mins

To say that addiction affects many lives is a gross understatement. This is a topic near and dear to our hearts as it has affected our lives in many ways. We hope this show can shed some light on addiction—a disease that is often misunderstood. Today’s guest is Dr. Robb Kelly, world renowned addiction expert, founder of the Robb Kelly Recovery Group and the author of Daddy, Daddy, Please Stop Drinking which chronicles the story of his personal fight from homeless alcoholic to doing his purpose work and living the life of his dreams. There are many experts on addiction out there, but we wanted to talk with Dr. Kelly, because he’s very transparent with his own struggles with addiction. He understands it from every angle. His program has a 97% success rate, which is unheard of. He's also incredibly kind and generous. Dr. Kelly was born in Manchester, England into a family with a history of alcoholism. He eventually became an alcoholic as well. But despite that, he managed to complete his Doctorate studies, graduating with a PhD in psychology in 1984. Soon after, because of his heavy drinking, he ended up homeless and alone. And one day, after paying for his vodka at the liquor store, he had an epiphany... and that changed everything. In this episode we talk to Dr. Kelly about what happened that fateful night, a mysterious stranger named John, the day he lost his children, shame, and of course, his philosophy on recovery. This episode brought all three of us to tears. Join us for this powerful episode.

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
