THE ADDICT IN ALL OF US By Lauren Dockett, Rich Simon. July/August 2017. Over the past several decades, popular attitudes toward addiction have undergone a radical destigmatization. Many attribute the beginning of this shift to former first lady Betty Ford and her decision to go public about her addiction to alcohol and opiates soon after leaving the White House.
