Please join me in welcoming DeDee Pfeiffer to the podcast.
This episode features actress, Dedee Pfeiffer, star of movies and television, and currently starring in ABC’s Big Sky. The show is now in its third season.
Dedee appreciates the fact that her status as a Hollywood actress has made it possible for her to be an activist for recovery. She is open about her struggle with alcoholism and her four year journey of recovery.
During a ten-year break from film and television, Dedee went back to school, earning a Bachelor’s degree in psychology and a Masters of Social Work from UCLA with a concentration in mental health, addiction and homelessness.
She has been a series cast member of Big Sky since the show premiered and plays “Denise Brisbane” the office manager at Dewell & Hoyt Private Investigations, the focus of the show. Addiction and recovery are topics included in Big Sky. In fact, the character of Denise Brisbane is in recovery.
Our interview covers many topics, from the importance of education, helping others in recovery, the variety of pathways to recovery, and we even discuss UFOs and alien life. Dedee’s higher power is Mother Earth, the source of all life as we know it.
Please listen to this incredible episode to hear Dedee Pfeiffer’s insights into addiction recovery and how it is possible for anyone to overcome active addiction and live a life of happiness and fulfillment.
If you are struggling with an addiction to alcohol or drugs, there is hope to make a positive change in your life. There is more than one way to overcome an addiction. For some people, residential rehab is the best option.
For others, starting out at Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, or SMART Recovery meetings is the best way to go. Everyone is different, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution.
There are also important methods of harm reduction that are important to consider. And, there is medication-assisted treatment for alcohol addiction and opioid addiction.
Dedee discusses all of these topics, and we also touch on the new, upcoming therapies involving psychedelics, including microdosing. I hope you enjoy this podcast episode, featuring Dedee Pfeiffer.
