Elizabeth Gilbert is the bestselling author of "Eat, Pray, Love" and her new memoir "All the Way to the River."

This conversation explores sex and love addiction, her partner's death during relapse, and finding recovery through radical honesty. We discuss hitting rock bottom while buying drugs for her dying partner, six years of celibacy as self-care, the illusion of control, and learning "no abandonment of self."

This exchange reveals how the "Eat, Pray, Love" author ended up in her darkest chapter.

Elizabeth's courage to be this vulnerable is inspiring. Enjoy!
