Theo and RFK Jr. used to meet in recovery meetings, but when the pandemic hit, the place they met closed. RFK Jr. says that a “pirate group” started their own in-person meeting while everyone else went online.
RFK Jr. says that at the time, he didn’t care what happened to him with COVID because he knew that his addiction would kill him if he didn’t get help. He was willing to take the chance of getting the virus.
RFK Jr. said, “For me, it’s survival,” when he thought about how important recovery meetings were to him.
