Mari Fong interviews singer-songwriter James Arthur and Dr. Adi Jaffe, mental health and addiction specialist, author of The Abstinence Myth: A New Approach For Overcoming Addiction Without Shame, Judgment, Or Rules.
James Arthur shares how living with depression and panic attacks along with a troublesome childhood led him to a life of partying out of bounds. Winning the X Factor UK in 2012 and his hit single, “Say You Won’t Let Go” took his fame into the stratosphere, yet controversies made fame a rocky road. James Arthur shares his real-world solutions for mood disorders and addiction recovery. We play a clip of “Emily” from his new album, It’ll All Make Sense In The End.
Next, mental health and addiction specialist Dr. Adi Jaffe explains his unique recovery perspective from his book,The Abstinence Myth. Dr. Jaffe also shares his story of hardcore addiction and the trials of his recovery which helped him develop his personalized recovery plan called IGNTD.
