Sep 3, 20201:29Now PlayingFirst Lady Melania Trump host a roundtable discussion at the White House Thursday on workplace sobriety and recovery.
"Finding solutions to our nation's drug problem has always been something I've cared deeply about, especially when it comes to its negative effects on children and families," she said.
The First Lady was joined at the event sponsored by the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy with people who are recovering from substance use or mental health issues.
The Director of the United States National Economic Council, Larry Kudlow participated as he celebrates 25 years of sobriety and tells an emotional story of his personnel struggle with alcohol and drug abuse.
"I was a hopeless abuser of alcohol and drugs. I had tried several times unsuccessfully to get sober. Like a lot of my peers and friends. I went through bloody hell and suffered significant consequences. I'm not alone. Most of us had the same troubles. And I was unemployable," he said.
National Recovery Month is observed every September to bring awareness to substance use treatment and mental health services and how it can help people lead healthy lives.
