Actor Robin Williams spoke on several occasions about the challenges associated with recovering from addiction. Describing the process as “a very powerful example of the daily battles we have,” he admitted “even long-term recovery people can have a life-threatening relapse at any time.”

During a 2006 interview on Good Morning America, Williams spoke about relapsing. “It waits. It lays in wait for the next time when you think, ‘It’s fine now, I’m okay. Then, the next thing you know, it’s not okay. Then you realize, Where am I? I didn’t realize I was in Cleveland’.”
