During that difficult time and those sleepless nights, This Is Us was my lifeline. Binge watching episodes helped distract me from the physical distress and the beautifully written relatable characters provided me some much needed comfort. I'm proud to say I overcame my addiction to painkillers and would never go back.

Watching Kevin battle his addiction demons at the same time as I was battling mine was incredibly cathartic, and I noticed how every character had their own addictions, whether with food, control, perfectionism, or substance abuse.

Beyond the addiction themes, so many of the characters resonated with me. Like Kate, I was also the only girl in a family with two brothers, and I was bullied as a child by mean girls who I thought were my friends. The pool scene made me cry.

Amen. I know we were going to let this letter speak for itself, but I will just say really quick, Lori, I'm very glad that you made it through. But this letter reminds us that we are not alone. Amen. And that you do not have to go through this alone. Yes. And that sometimes going through something like withdrawal alone can actually be very dangerous.
