A great is to be sober, but also to educate people about: hey, don't shame us, learn from us, because we are in a major health epidemic, with opioids, with alcohol, with vaping.
Ever wondered how someone juggles a high-profile career and a battle with addiction? Laurie Dhue, the first news anchor to work at all three major cable news networks, shares her gripping story on 'Keepin' It Friel: Conversations on Recovery'. Laurie opens up about her struggles with alcohol and cocaine while working at Fox News Channel, and how she eventually sought help from an addiction specialist.
With 13 years of sobriety under her belt, Laurie recounts an unexpected twist at the five-year mark when a gossip magazine outed her sobriety. This unplanned public revelation turned her into a passionate advocate for recovery. In this episode, Laurie talks candidly about the hurdles of staying sober in a demanding work environment, the crucial role of support networks, and the toll addiction takes on both personal and professional relationships.
She also dives into her advocacy efforts, focusing on addiction education and raising awareness about the dangers of addiction in various industries. Laurie’s story is not just about overcoming addiction; it’s about finding joy in sobriety through self-care and community support. Tune in for an inspiring conversation that sheds light on the multifaceted journey of recovery.
