Heart of the Matter with Elizabeth Vargas

[link removed]

Congresswoman Madeleine Dean thought she understood addiction -
but it wasn't until her son Harry Cunnane was struggling that
she came to truly realize what it means when a loved one has a
substance use disorder. Now Harry has been in recovery for more than
eight years, and the mother and son have written a joint memoir,
titled Under Our Roof: A Son's Battle for Recovery, a Mother's Battle
for Her Son. With this book, the pair hope to share the lessons
they've learned about addiction and recovery with other families
impacted by this disease.

In the 19th episode of Heart of the Matter, Elizabeth interviews
Madeleine and Harry about what they gained from writing Under Our
Roof, what it means when people refer to addiction as a family
disease, and the importance of amplifying the possibility of recovery
- not just the horror of active addiction.

Today, Madeleine continues to serve Pennsylvania's fourth
district, and Harry remains active in the addiction recovery
community, even working as a resource director at the same treatment
center where he originally sought help.
