Today’s guest has a riveting story that is filled with brutal honesty and crushing secrets. Growing up in LA, Erin Khar hid behind a picture-perfect childhood filled with excellent grades, a popular group of friends and horseback riding. In her book, “Strung Out – One last hit and other lies that nearly killed me”, she shares how she first began experimenting with her grandmother’s expired painkillers and moved to heroin when she was thirteen. The drug allowed her to escape from pressures of a “not so happy childhood” and suppress all the heavy feelings she couldn’t understand. Clean for 17 years, she talks about the difference between those addicts that enjoy the high and those who are trying to feel nothing. erinkhar.com
