This week the C.D.C. flagged an increase in binge drinking among pregnant women, from the ages of 18-49 over the past two years. It links the problem, to the ongoing pandemic. Molly Simpson, Clinical Director of the Hazelden Betty Ford Treatment Center, in Newberg, Oregon explains why the time right after the holidays, and at the start of this new year, brings a rush of people seeking help for addiction. And this year it's worse because of the pandemic pushing so many people into isolation. Joining us also was Lori Anderson, a Portland resident and recovering alcoholic, who now works as a substance abuse counselor at Hazelden Betty Ford in Newberg. She explains how the pandemic's influencing more people to turn to alcohol and drugs, as they're in isolation more and not as accountable to the others in their lives. She also describes her journey, from not knowing how she'd survive without alcohol, to now, serving as an example and counselor for others in recovery.
