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."

He is about the last person I would have suspected of having a drug addiction.

Booze and / or drugs can happen to  .. if not everyone (dunno so won't go there), certainly to a very great many



Nice to see him come out publicly.  His "now" success is a great inspiration to many

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.
