Recover to Live, featuring Nic Sheff
Nic Sheff has graciously agreed on short notice to be our special guest for this year's event. He is the son of Roads to Recovery's 2017 speaker, David Sheff. Nic's heartbreaking and inspiring struggle with addiction is the story of Beautiful Boy,
a major motion picture starring Timothée Chalamet as Nic
and Steve Carrell as his father, David. The film,
already generating Oscar buzz in advance of its October 2018 release, is based on Nic's New York Times bestselling memoir,
Tweak: Growing Up on Methamphetamines and David's
bestseller Beautiful Boy. Sharing an unglamorized, authentic
and heart-touching story of substance use and recovery
that is deeply rooted in mental illness, Nic has been recognized
as "a life-changing speaker."

Recovery for Life!
An Evening with
Legendary NFL Linebacker
Thomas “Hollywood” Henderson
Thomas Henderson says that “Hollywood” died on November 8, 1983, the date he began his recovery journey. Now, over 32 years later, his story inspires more than ever. The legendary linebacker was a first-round draft pick of the Dallas Cowboys who played in three Super Bowls his first four years, including taking his team to the Championship in Superbowl XII.
He later became the first NFL player to disclose his addiction, seek treatment and return to pro football. In his book, In Control: The Rebirth of an NFL Legend, Mr. Henderson says, “Slowly, people are giving recovery the patience, respect and credibility it deserves.”
He also says, “To anyone suffering from alcoholism or drug addiction, I say this: if Thomas Henderson can get sober and stay sober, anyone can. If you have made serious mistakes in your life, you can change the outcome over time.” Please join us for an inspiring and entertaining celebration of Recovery for Life!
