Today is the final day of my series of conversations with Jorja Jamison. Jorja's book description summarizes her journey so well, "Imagine landing your dream job as an addiction psychologist at the nation's most famous alcohol and drug treatment facility. You've spent eight grueling years earning your Master's and Doctorate degrees in a program you were never supposed to get into, and you've been identified as a rising star in the field. At every turn, leaders are praising you for your abilities. There's just one catch: you have been doing all this while secretly battling your own addiction. For the next three years, you lead a painful double life, presenting to the world as a competent clinician, but privately, you are spiraling into hell. Then, one day, everything falls apart, and you must learn what it truly means to heal from an addiction."
Let's get back to Jorja.
