Randall Carlisle retired last year after 50 years in broadcasting. He is well known and highly recognized across the state as the former lead news anchor at ABC4. He was awarded three Emmys during his career and covered many major news stories. He was also an addict.
Carlisle began drinking at age 14 and continued as a “functional alcoholic” for decades. He has been sober for the last six years and is now the media and community affairs specialist for Odyssey House of Utah, the state’s largest addiction treatment center. He is also the keynote speaker for the 2019 Utah Valley University Conference on Addiction being held this Friday.
