I always put my self "out there" in posts like this and advocacy in general to "bring the reality home" in hopes of keeping other peoples' loved ones alive.
Over this Christmas season, maybe everyone could think of one way that they could help to humanize and reduce the stigma/ discrimination.

"think of one way that they could help to humanize "

Betty Lou, thanks for the reminder as people, programs, government take action.

I'm going try out asking myself this question, each day for the next month, even though I may not see very clearly how it fits into my everyday work in the community as there is much competing noisiness on what is important to do.

I found this article on pharmaceutical companies, helped to get me thinking more about people and addiction.
