WHY DO WE NEED TO VALUE OUR MENTAL HEALTH?
Kailangan nating pahalagahan ang ating mental health dahil ito ang pundasyon ng ating pang-araw-araw na pamumuhay-naaapektuhan nito kung paano tayo mag-isip, makaramdam, at makitungo sa iba. Kapag maayos ang ating kaisipan, mas nagiging madali ang pagharap sa stress, paggawa ng tamang desisyon, at pagpapanatili ng malusog na relasyon. Malaki rin ang koneksyon ng mental health sa pisikal na kalusugan, kaya't kapag pinapabayaan ito, maaaring lumabas sa anyo ng sakit sa katawan o panghihina ng resistensya. Sa pamamagitan ng pag-aalaga sa ating mental health, napapanatili natin ang balanse, kasiyahan, at tibay ng loob na kailangan upang harapin ang mga hamon ng buhay.

ROBERT DOWNEY JR'S HEROIC RECOVERY: FROM ADDICT TO IRON MAN
By Dreamlife Recovery / June 26, 2020
One of the highest-paid actors in Hollywood, Robert Downey Jr., is as well-known for being a talented, successful actor as he is for his struggle with addiction. He spent decades in and out of rehab, sobering up, slipping up, and getting arrested. It was a downward spiral that ended with him serving time in state prison. It took him losing everything—his money, career, and family—to finally face his addiction head-on and to find his way to recovery. The Iron Man star didn’t just play a superhero on the big screen—his triumph over addiction is a heroic tale of overcoming the odds and unlearning years of bad habits.
Growing Up Surrounded by Substance Abuse
Robert Downey Jr. was born in New York City in 1965 to underground filmmaker Robert Downey Sr. and actress Elsie Downey. At an early age, his father, who also struggled with substance abuse, introduced him to drugs, allowing him to try marijuana at a party when he was only eight years old. In an interview with People Magazine, Downey Jr. explained how doing drugs with his father became their way of bonding, and that this early exposure to drugs led Downey Jr. to spend most nights throughout his 20’s and 30’s getting drunk and scouting dealers.
In the early 1980s, Robert Downey Jr. left New York City for Hollywood to pursue an acting career, where his role in the film Weird Science earned him a spot in The Brat Pack, a group of young actors who starred in many of the decade’s most iconic coming-of-age films. In 1985, he joined the cast on Saturday Night Live for a year before landing his first leading role in The Pick-Up Artist, at which point his acting career took off.

A Cinematic Recovery and a Hollywood Ending
In 2002, Robert Downey Jr. was making a comeback after his time in rehab and jumped back into his acting career with roles in Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang and the box office hit Zodiac. However, it was when he began his romance with film producer Susan Levin while working on the film Gothika in 2003 that he fully committed to his recovery. They got married in 2005 and now have two children together. His commitment to recovering from addiction and regenerating his acting career led him to his greatest success yet: starring as Tony Stark in Marvel Studio’s Iron Man and The Avengers film franchise.
Today, Robert Downey Jr. enjoys a relatively quiet life, trading wild nights out and weekend-long drug binges for nights in and weekends spent with his family in their Malibu home. The 54-year-old credits his relationship with his wife Susan, his children, Eastern martial arts, yoga, and the 12-Step program for helping him overcome his addiction and stay sober. Of course, his career also keeps him busy and focused. His latest film, Dolittle, came out earlier this year. He and his wife also work at the film production company they founded together, Team Downey.
In a famous Vanity Fair interview, Downey Jr., then age 49 with about a decade of sobriety under his belt, said, “For some folks it’s just a function of age. It’s perfectly normal for people to be obsessive about something for a period of time, then leave it alone.”
While not everyone has such a cinematic and widely publicized journey to recovery as Robert Downey Jr., anyone has the ability to overcome addiction and live a sober, fulfilling life in recovery.
