https://youtu.be/0h8pbPOi19k

Lamar Odom sits down for one of the most raw, honest conversations we've ever had on Nothing's Off The Table.

In this unforgettable episode, Lamar opens up about growing up around addiction, losing his mother and his infant son, the spotlight of the Lakers and the Kardashians, the truth about his marriage to Khloé, the night he overdosed, waking up unable to walk or talk, and the long road back to recovery. He shares why he's clean today, the plant medicine helping him heal, his thoughts on the gambling crisis in sports, and the message of hope he wants every struggling addict to hear.

This is a story about how far addiction can take you — and proof that it doesn't have to end there. Recovery is possible. Change is possible. If he made it out, so can you.
