He never, and I mean, NEVER speaks about his recovery. I know I am so involved with mine that the topic comes up in my conversation occasionally, and here on FR when a topic comes up related to addiction and recovery. Going to a meeting a day and calling my sponsor 1-2 times a day will put recovery in the forefront of your mind. Of course, it helps my sponsor is my bestest bud now. :o)
But Rush never speaks of it at all. Nor do I hear the language of recovery ever come from his mouth. It's quite clear to this addict that -- at the risk of taking his inventory -- he's not working the program. And you've got to work it to make it.
There are rare people who can abstain without working the program. I even know one or two. But they are NOT in recovery and NOT trying to get personal development or live their life by spiritual principles. Their choice, and one fellow I have a big resentment against, so I'm actually pretty cool with that one. ;^)
PS: I know, I know: "Resentments are like peeing your pants. No one feels it but you."
Perhaps he's just trying to keep it private and out of his work? When he first returned from rehab, he did talk about the experience some. I thought he had changed quite a bit when I heard him use the word "enable" on the air. I could understand if he just didn't want the topic of addiction to consistently take over his show.
I would not talk about mine on national radio either.
