  All the pharmaceutical companies should have to fund rehab clinics and medications like suboxone and methadone.

  My husband and I are 3 years sober from alcohol. We just had our first child. People never thought we’d be the people who got sober. It’s inspired some others to do it as well. I applaud these people for caring enough to help others.<br>My little brother overdosed on OxyContin in the military. It devastated my family. It was easier for some to ignore his addiction because he was in the military. He was supposed to be too strong for his addiction to kill him. 😢

  It’s so refreshing to see the world beginning to understand that tough love is the worst way to “help” a loved one who is addicted to opiates.

  coming out of a drug addiction, with the current systems in place, if you don&apos;t have a supportive family (emotionally, financially, logistically), you&apos;re absolutely doomed to repeat the past. I spiraled for years and years and I finally received a &apos;bailout&apos; from extended family and that&apos;s what got me sober. It&apos;s not like every time i got clean i wanted to fail, i wanted to get my life right every single time, but feeling absolutely marginalized, mistreated, unsupported, and isolated, kept me repeating old habits.

  Save Lives. Legalize Safe Supply!!! End Prohibition! End the War on People who Consume Drugs. Recovery does not mean Abstinence. ❤

  I can only speak from my own experience in 1983 I was in a therapeutic community for 3 years it was a nonprofit so it didn&apos;t cost my parents anything. It was run by a bunch of &nbsp;people who had been through the same thing. It was a stigma then my mother wouldn&apos;t tell anybody where I was. Anyway out of 30 people or so who came in there&apos;s only two of us still standing

  I’m a recovered former addict. I have over ten years of sobriety , and one thing I can tell people with all certainty is that criminalizing drug &nbsp;abuse only makes things worse.

  I was in multiple treatment centres during the 2000&apos;s, the staff were sicker than the &quot;patients&quot; and they had formed a God complex, which was unbearable. I&apos;d get dry maybe last a year than drink. One treatment centre, I walked in an alcoholic with a cocaine problem and walked out with a heroin and crack problem...I eventually got clean and sober with the 12 step programme and I thank God that I have him in charge because I have no power without his grace, thank you Jesus!!!!!!

  I’m 66 years old and have been seeing pain management doctors for over 25 years. Government regulations have made it almost impossible for people like me to get adequate treatment for pain. I’m receiving a low dose of opiates and can no longer take care of myself. Simple things like doing laundry or cooking a meal are tasks I just can’t do anymore. My doctor claims the CDC regulations limit the amount of meds he’s allowed to prescribe.
