Partnership to End Addiction’s Board Chair, Jamie Niven: Growing up as a Hollywood kid and putting down the bottle as an adult
Manage episode 291474433 series 2801779
Despite being the son of an Academy Award-winning actor, Jamie Niven’s life wasn’t all glitz and glamour. At just six months old, Jamie’s mother passed away, leaving Jamie to grow up with an overwhelming feeling of loneliness – a feeling that followed him for his entire life.
In the 15th episode of Heart of the Matter, Elizabeth talks with Jamie, who is also the chair of Partnership to End Addiction’s Board of Directors, about the way loss impacted his otherwise privileged life and contributed to a 50-year struggle with alcohol. Additionally, the pair discuss how, at the age of 65, Jamie found recovery, gave up alcohol, and committed himself to make a difference for others impacted by addiction.
