https://www.theepochtimes.com/kudlow-delivers-emotional-speech-on-recovery-from-addiction-at-white-house-event_3487814.html">National Economic Council Director Larry Kudlow shared his personal story of recovery from drug addiction at an event organized by First Lady Melania Trump on Sept. 3.




Kudlow was fired from investment bank Bear Stearns in the mid-1990s as he struggled with cocaine addiction.

Speaking at The White House National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month Event: "Recovery at Work: Celebrating Connections," Kudlow revealed that he celebrated 25 years sober in July and that it would have been "unthinkable" 25 years ago that he would be able to occupy his current position, which he called the "greatest honor of my professional life."



"I was a hopeless abuser of alcohol and drugs. I had tried several times unsuccessfully to get sober," the economic adviser said. "Like a lot of my peers and friends, I went through bloody hell and suffered significant consequences. I'm not alone, most of us have the same troubles. I was unemployable."

I don't know much about Kudlow. I have seen more interviews with Steve Mnuchin. But, good for Kudlow. I know how hard it is to overcome addiction.
