We Can Do Hard Things
The Bravest Conversation We’ve Had: Andrea Gibson (Best Of)

For me, I want the people in my life to be people who are committed to health and people who are committed to the health of our world and improving it. But in regards to good and bad people, I think no. But that doesn't mean there isn't a lot of horrific shit going on. A lot of people that are just treating people horribly. I don't want to deny that.

Yeah, I would love to. My sister, and so she's part of the reason that my whole big pharma issues with some of that. But my sister is wonderful. And my sister is 10 years younger than me. So when she was born, I had this love for her that wasn't like a sibling love. It was... It was like I felt almost like her parent, even though my parents were great parents to her.

But the age difference, I had that sort of parental love, which it was like, you know, if you die, I'll die because, you know, you are you are my baby. And so when she was 14, she got addicted to Oxycontin. And and I think a lot of people know this at this point. But that pharmaceutical company specifically went into communities where people were in pain.

I grew up in a poor area of the country with lots of really working hard, working class people. And so the whole town, I mean, it was this cute little town. And then all of a sudden, everybody is addicted.

And so my sister, that happened. She was the happiest kid I had ever known. And then all of a sudden, she's not. And that addiction lasted 13 years. It was very painful for the family. And the whole time, I'm just looking at her and thinking, this... There is so much joy that lives beneath this person. I mean, I thought my parents are serious. I'm serious.

Because she was just, she was so lighthearted. And then that all went away. But underneath, I always knew. And then she, I think it's seven years ago now, she got clean. And she has been in recovery for seven years now.
