Last night, My 12-Step Store in West Hollywood threw a celebration in honor of Recovery Month and Fix Executive Editor Anna David, whose first novel, Party Girl, they now carry. As guests guzzled soft drinks and Speaker Water, old friends reunited and new TV shows were shot. Seth "Shifty" Binzer made his first public appearance since falling into a coma in April—and a VH1 crew followed him around to capture the now-sober action. Meanwhile Iron Man 3 star Ashley Hamilton met up again with Tom Sizemore: the two were in each other's weddings in the '90s (Sizemore's to actress Maeve Quinlan, Hamilton's to model Angie Everhart) but hadn't seen one another in years. Councilman and former West Hollywood mayor John Duran joined Hills owner Howard Samuels, Malibu Beach Sober Living owners Charlie Bentz and Kimberly James, Recovery Media chairman Paul McCulley, Fix contributors Nic Sheff and Amy Dresner, and My 12-Step Store owner RJ Holguin, as Sizemore and Shifty spoke to TMZ and David signed copies of the book that details her journey from Hollywood party girl to sober woman. Sizemore, who tapped David to be the co-writer of his biography, I Can't Believe I Made It Out of There Alive (due in April, 2013 from Simon & Schuster), said he loved being a part of the sober action: "I haven't had this much fun at a party in years."

The Rehab Review
Cliffside Malibu
 
 
 
 

The “beach-house-relaxed” Cliffside Malibu claims to provide an oasis for recovering addicts and alcoholics. And that’s just what you'll get—if you’ve got the cash.

Newport Academy
 
 
 
 
 

This SoCal rehab fosters a regimented but respectful recovery environment, where teens learn how to live sober through plenty of 12-step meetings and life-skills classes—not to mention "equine-assisted psychotherapy" and mixed martial arts.

Reflections
 
 
 
 

This exclusive Northern California rehab is all about client choice—as well as golf outings, Buddhist field trips and keeping up with the office.
