In the foreward to Christopher’s book, his cousin, former Congressman Patrick Kennedy along with Congressman Jim Ramstad writes, “Unfortunately, many addicts don’t have the resources and support that we have to get and stay sober. They each need to find and build their own toolkit of survival. Recover to Live should be the first tool in the kit.” Find out what Patrick thinks so, and why Christopher wrote the book after watching a certain TV commercial. You can buy the book at www.amazon.com and you can check out more information on Christopher Kennedy Lawford at www.christopherkennedylawford.com
Appointed a NAMI California board member in the summer of 2012, Amanda Lipp, who was also recently profiled in a supplement about Proposition 63 in the Sacramento Bee, joins Jennifer Whitney to talk about her own personal story of recovery. Amanda is a perfect example of why we started the Free Your Mind Projects. She is very candid about details of some of her worst experiences dealing with mental health issues, but she is resolute about her pathway not just to recovery, but helping others. She’s a very passionate advocate and you’ll find her story VERY inspirational! You can find out more about the organization of which she is a board member here: www.namicalifornia.org
