I think that anybody who thinks that they understand addiction is out of their mind. Because I will tell you one thing: when I was an addict, using an active addict, and I was in the closet and hiding it from everyone- sometimes not very successfully, but I was, I was glorified.
Imagine losing a sibling to addiction. That's the heartbreaking reality Kristen Johnston, Emmy-winning actress and recovery advocate, shares in this moving episode of 'Rehab Confidential'. Hosts Joe Schrank and Amy Dresner dive deep into a candid conversation with Johnston, who opens up about her sister's battle with substance abuse and the profound impact it had on her life. Johnston doesn't hold back, shedding light on the harsh truths of addiction and the often misguided perceptions surrounding it.
She emphasizes the crucial role of honesty in the recovery process and calls for more effective treatment options, especially for those under public scrutiny. Her raw reflections offer a powerful perspective on the emotional toll addiction takes on families. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of addiction and its ripple effects on loved ones.
