Christopher Kennedy Lawford - Moving the Finish Line: Beating Addiction Isn't Enough
You can have an addiction if you live in the White House or the poor house. The proof is Christopher Lawford Kennedy. Despite growing up in Camelot, in our nation’s most influential family, Lawford Kennedy was no stranger to trauma and addiction. At a very young age, on the heels of the assassination of his Uncle Bobby, he began using hard drugs — for 17 years. After 10 years trying to get sober, he finally did. And a lot came next — an Ivy league education, an acting career, numerous best-selling books. Get inspired by his recovery journey, the hope that ensued after years of use and how he uses his experience to help move the needle on addiction care in our nation.
