Peers We Learn From

What We Learn From Jamie Lee Curtis

Recovery, sobriety and personal growth.

Jamie Lee Curtis has spoken openly in interviews and essays about her recovery from opiate addiction and the long work of staying sober. She talks about recovery as something ordinary and daily rather than dramatic — which is exactly how most people live it.

What stands out

  • · Recovery as daily practice, not a single turning point
  • · Talking honestly about addiction without shame
  • · Growing into a different life after getting sober

    Host and interviewer — recovery and family change

    I make conversations that stay with people. I work from my own experience of rebuilding a household after a long period of change, and I care about letting other people keep control of their own story.

    Audio documentary maker — reentry and second chances

    I record the ordinary parts of starting again, because that is where most of the work happens. I look for the details other people walk past.
