RFK, Jr. Praises Patrick Kennedy Coming Forward to Address Importance of Addiction and Mental Health

[GoLeft TV]

Patrick Kennedy, son of the late Ted Kennedy, has just published a personal memoir called “A Common Struggle” chronically Patrick’s struggles with alcohol addiction and mental health issues. In the book, Patrick provides in great detail his perception of his parents’ struggles with alcoholism and the Kennedy family struggles with mental health issues.

The book has garnered some controversy in the media, and Ring of Fire’s Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., cousin to Patrick Kennedy, recently sat down with Sam Seder to discuss the book and the Kennedy family history.

1. Such an important issue. Addiction and alcoholism are diseases, not will power issues.

JFK was addicted to speed, as I understand it, for pain relief for his back.

Drugs are the quickest way to imprison people the repugs dont want voting.

I could go on

2. So glad they are speaking out.

3. Patrick Kennedy is worth listening to.

Robert Kennedy Jr is not.
Robert is a kook, an anti-vaccination nutcase who refuses to disavow anything he said previously about vaccinations causing a new "Holocaust" (his word, not mine,) of autism.

Patrick Kennedy went through the hell of addiction, got clean and hoefully will stay clean.
He knew all the tricks addicts used to avoid getting sober.
