In this deeply personal episode of Success in Doses, I sit down with pharmacist, advocate, and healthcare leader Jerilyn Arneson for one of the most honest conversations we've ever had on the podcast.

Jerilyn shares her journey through chronic pain, prescription medication dependence, substance use disorder, mental health challenges, and the difficult decision to seek treatment and pursue sobriety. What began as treatment for a legitimate medical condition evolved into a decades-long struggle hidden behind a successful career, leadership roles, and professional accomplishments. 

Together, we discuss addiction, bipolar disorder, grief, perfectionism, recovery, stigma in healthcare, and why choosing yourself may be the hardest and most important decision you'll ever make. 

This conversation is for healthcare professionals, patients, family members, and anyone who has ever struggled silently while appearing successful on the outside.

If you're looking for a story about courage, honesty, healing, and hope, this episode is for you.
