"Addiction Doesn’t Always Last a Lifetime"




"As someone who suffered from heroin addiction myself, I’d like to introduce you to a few people who have followed diverse trajectories out of addiction. My own nearly 30-year recovery started with traditional rehab and abstinence, which I practiced for 13 years. Now, however, it includes medical use of antidepressants, exercise, strong relationships, deep commitment to my work and moderate use of some legal substances.

I believe people like me can no longer stay silent — our stories are the only antidote to a picture of addiction that fails to include recovery."
