A Certain Age Laura Cathcart Robbins on Addiction, Life in Hiding and the Freedom of Midlife Recovery
Does getting to midlife allow us to quit the things that no longer serve us? After years of hiding her addiction from everyone, Laura Cathcart Robbins was ready to leave her Hollywood power marriage and confront her secret pill addiction. In her propulsive, vivid memoir, Stash: My Life in Hiding, Laura invites us on her journey to sobriety, self-love, and a life rooted in serenity versus fear. We get into the intersection of race, privilege, motherhood, and aging with addiction and recovery and explore why midlife is exactly the right time to take charge of your happiness. Bonus, we talk recovery resources, including apps, the best “quit lit” books and why to meditate.
