I was always juggling and doctor shopping and then ultimately getting them illegally. It was a non-stop, slow motion, train wreck...
Ever wonder how someone can lead a high-profile career while battling a severe addiction? Meet Dan Peres, the former Editor-in-Chief of Details Magazine, who shares his gripping story on 'Keepin' It Friel: Conversations on Recovery'. During his 15-year tenure at the magazine, Dan was secretly consuming up to 60 opioids a day. He recounts the desperate measures he took, including doctor shopping and driving to Mexico for pills, all while maintaining his professional facade.
Overdosing multiple times, Dan hit rock bottom but found the strength to seek help. Now, with 12 years of sobriety under his belt, he’s a devoted father to three sons and a passionate advocate for de-stigmatizing addiction. In this episode, host Courtney Friel dives into Dan's harrowing journey through addiction and recovery. They discuss the physical and emotional toll of his opioid dependence, his eventual path to sobriety, and how he's using his story to help others.
Dan's candidness about his struggles and triumphs offers hope and practical advice for anyone facing similar battles. His journey is a powerful reminder that recovery is possible and life can be fulfilling beyond addiction.
