On this episode of Addiction Talk, we’re joined by author and former TV director, Art Dielhenn. In the 1980s and 90s, Art Dielhenn was at the top of his game, directing iconic sitcoms like Diff’rent Strokes, Punky Brewster, Head of the Class, and Sister, Sister. But behind the scenes, Art was fighting a private battle: his growing compulsion to drink. After white-knuckling sobriety for 15 years, Art entered a recovery program after hitting what he calls his rock bottom. Today, he’s sober and using his voice to help others. Author of "Get Out of Your Head, It’s a Mess in There" and "Addiction Is a Family Disease," Art Dielhenn is pulling back the curtain on what addiction really looks like inside a family, and how families can navigate this disease. If you have a loved one who has been impacted by addiction, you won’t want to miss this. Join us as Art takes us through his powerful journey—from the director’s chair to a mission of recovery, redemption, and real change.

In 2006, just after the release of his band’s most commercially successful album to date, he left. During his time away, Josh continued to abuse substances: he release his second Weerd Science album, which was a personal account of his addiction, and began drumming for the supergroup Terrible Things.

He left his hometown of Kingston, New York, moved to Albany and joined the supergroup Terrible Things. Attempting to reestablish his relationship with his former bandmates, Josh began to reach out, and after seeing the changes he made in his life since his 2009 exit, nearly five years to the day of the announcement of his departure, it was announced he had rejoined.

Kevin was born in Seoul, Korea, and at age three, was adopted and grew up in Philadelphia. It wasn’t long after this that the bullying and beatings began due to his ethnicity. Because of what he experienced in his youth, Kevin threw himself into fitness and had success as a personal trainer. Though he changed himself physically, he relied upon alcohol to shape his personality. After a short while, he signed with one of the most prestigious modeling agencies in New York City. Years of non-stop work, stress, an alopecia areata diagnosis and alcohol consumption proved to be too much and Kevin sought help.
