I think it's really, I mean to me, it's, you know it really. You don't hear about it a lot, and particularly the world that you grew up in, where you know there's so much stiff upper lipism and you know you're expected to sort of white knuckle your way through every, every challenge that you know you're supposed to be mad enough to handle your own, your own problems.
Ever wondered what it's like to grow up in the shadow of Hollywood royalty and still struggle with addiction? Jamie Niven, son of the legendary actor David Niven, shares his raw and honest journey on The Drunkalogues podcast. Hosted by Nick Morton, this episode peels back the layers of Jamie's life, from his privileged upbringing surrounded by celebrities to his battles with addiction and eventual path to recovery.
Jamie doesn't hold back as he talks about the pressures of living up to his famous father's legacy, the highs and lows of his career in finance and at Sotheby's, and the stigma surrounding addiction in elite circles. He also delves into his philanthropic efforts with the Partnership to End Addiction, highlighting the importance of support systems in overcoming addiction.
If you're curious about the intersection of fame and sobriety, or looking for inspiration on your own recovery journey, Jamie's story is a must-listen. Tune in for a conversation that's as enlightening as it is heartwarming.
