Ask the Contributors: What Have People’s Reactions Been to Your Being Open about Your Recovery?

Welcome to Ask the Contributors, our new video column featuring Q&As with some of most our esteemed writers. We’ve created this not only because we believe in out-and-proud recovery but also because we think you should see the people whose work you’ve been reading and hear why they decided to become so out-and-proud.

Today we’re talking to Anna David, the Founder and Editor-in-Chief of AfterPartyChat and host of the AfterPartyPod podcast. A New York Times-bestselling author of two novels and four non-fiction books, she’s written for numerous magazines and appeared regularly on The Today Show, Attack of the Show and The CBS Morning News, among others. Today we ask her about the reactions she’s received over being open about her recovery.
