³By hiding our recovery we
have sustained the most
harmful myth about addiction
disease- that it is hopeless. And without the example of
recovering people it is easy for
the public to continue to think
that the victims of addiction
disease are moral
degenerates« We are the
lucky ones, the ones who got
well. And it is our responsibility
to change the terms of the
debate for the sake of those
who still suffer.´Former US Senator Harold Hughes
