than 20 years i managed to look pretty good on the outside, but inside i was drowning in fear, loneliness, chaos, and just plain hopelessness. no amount of alcohol could fill that black hole that was right here. my recovery journey has been nothing short of amazing, filling me with peace, hope, love, and, most important, purpose. in short, it's been a life beyond my wildest dreams. my four children have found their own pathways to recovery, and their children, my six grandchildren, i'm proud to say, are addiction free. (applause) it looks like the cycle has been broken in my family. our stories have power, my story has power. the more that policymakers, our neighbors and friends and employers understand and know that we can and do get well, the more people will seek help that they and their loved ones need in order to recover. everyone has a right to recover from addiction and to find a life in the community. as we leave here today, celebrating the 21st anniversary of the national alcohol and drug addiction recovery month, let's rededicate ourselves to using our stories to speak with one

some talk a bit that, the loneliness factor. >> guest: that's true, and that particularly affects the oldest old. i mean, one of the reasons it's been advanced, and it may be true is women do better as widows than man has widowers is women have more women friends and this is true. women relate to other women who more closely throughout their lives, at least now. that may not be true in the generation from now, but still, than the man to do. but when a woman lives to be really old into her 90s, then, because she is the oldest of the old survivors, she begins to lose her female friends, too. my grandmother, who did live to be 99, i talked to quite a lot about this. and one of the things she said to me was -- and she was a person who always made younger friends throughout her life, too much. if anybody had as good of old age you couldn't tell you can't, she did. but she said one of the hardest things about being in her 90s is she out of every one who didn't see her as this old woman but who remembered her as who she was, a young and vibrant girl and woman that those people were all gone.

some talk about that loneliness, and in particular affects the oldest old, i think one of the reasons it may well be true is that women do better as widows than men as we grow worse is to have more women friends and this is true. win in relief to other women more closely throughout the lives at least now. that may not be true in a generation from now. but still, the men do but when a woman lives to be really old into her 90s, then because she is the oldest of the old survivors she begins to lose her female friends, too. my grandmother who did live to be 99i talked to quite a lot about this and one of the things she said to me is and she's a person who always made anybody who had as gold of old age they could she did. but she said one of the hardest things about being in her mind these days she outlived anyone who didn't see her as this old woman but remembered her as she was, the young and vibrant growth and woman but those people were all gone and will of course you can have canceled all ages and good friends there is a special thing to friends of your own generation, and for the peo

the loneliness factor. when people get old, maybe their partners died. maybe they don't have the primary person to love or maybe there's not a child in the picture. and their social circle has shrink. i would think that what you are saying is that society coerced people not to be that crow or grumpy old man. it pushes people farther away. >> guest: it's true. that's affected the oldest old. one the reasons it's been advanced, women due better as widowers than men, is that women have more friends. this is true. women relate to other women more closely throughout their lives. at least now, that may not be true in the generation from now. but still, than men do. when a women lived to be really old into her 90s, then because she is the oldest of the old survivors, she begins to lose her female friends too. my grandmother, who did live to be 99, i talked to quite a lot about this. and one the things that she said to me was, and she was a person who always made younger friends throughout her life too, if anybody had an good of an old age until you can't, she d
