Patrick Kennedy Breaks His Silence

Patrick Kennedy, the youngest child of the late senator, Ted Kennedy, is speaking out about his alcoholism and drug addiction in his new book, “A Common Struggle.”  Last week on CBS’ 60 Minutes, he opened up to Leslie Stahl about his struggle and his family’s struggle with addiction.  The goal of his memoir is to remove the stigma that comes from substance abuse.
