A conversation about alcoholism and recovery, with Jit Chauhan.
Jitesh Chauhan is the subject of his own documentary, entitled
“I’m Jit and I’m an alcoholic. It tells Jit’s story through active addiction,
the pains, the trauma and the story of his recovery. I spoke to Jit about his
time in addiction, the recovery and what he’s gained as a result of being in
recovery.
