Throughout this episode, she'll share her thoughts. Craig Pothier, from Episode 95, displays a classic case of alcoholism. In this After the Episode, ALB, CK, and AJB discuss the rules active addicts and alcoholics often create for themselves. They also dive into why hearing a story like Craig's gives hope to those who are struggling. Author Adam Fout covers the topic of mental health and substance use disorder in Episode 97. In this After the Episode, ALB touches on why mental health and substance use disorder so often go hand in hand. Last but not least, Charles M Henderson Jr's story is truly one that takes us from heroin to Harvard - a journey in which he struggled with being fully honest about his recovery. Hear ALB share why hearing that a former heroin addict could make it to an ivy league college was different than seeing her friends and family attend elite universities. ALB also provides some helpful tips about living authentically in recovery. As you can see, there's lots to cover. Let's do this!
