Robert F. Kennedy Jr. attributes his focus on health and wellness to his personal struggle with addiction, which began at 15 and lasted 14 years. His recovery, supported by faith, community programs, and the teachings of philosopher Carl Jung, shapes his vision for addressing addiction. As he seeks confirmation as Secretary of Health and Human Services, Kennedy aims to create recovery farms across rural America, promoting mutual support among recovering addicts. His ambitious plan has garnered both attention and praise from addiction advocacy groups committed to faith-based recovery methods.
I became a drug addict when I was 15 years old... During that time, when you're an addict, you're living against conscience... I pushed God to the peripheries of my life.
I'm going to bring a new industry to [rural] America, where addicts can help each other recover from their addictions... We're going to build hundreds of healing farms.
