28 Years on Adderall: Ricki Friedman’s Story of Addiction, Recovery, and Rebuilding Her Life
Ricki Friedman was prescribed Adderall at just 7 years old. After losing her mom to cancer at 13, she battled decades of emotional pain, a secret marijuana addiction, and an identity built around medication. Despite creating a successful brand and coaching thousands through “Break the Weight,” Ricki was silently crumbling.
In this raw and unfiltered interview, Ricki opens up about living a double life, her decision to quit weed and Adderall cold turkey, and how community, therapy, and purpose helped her rebuild everything. From founding the “Steps Forward” podcast to helping over 800 people walk away from weed, this is Ricki’s incredible journey of healing and truth.
