Too many addicts die each day from this insidious disease, we need to recognize it for what is, a disease just like multiple sclerosis, cancer or diabetes, the stigmatism of addiction is not recognized as a disease many think it's a moral dilemma, it is a fatal disease that if untreated, too many die at all ages, it does not discriminate, it kills all walks of life, Doctors, Lawyers, business men and women, house wife's, our husbands, children, military personnel, police officers, sheriffs, and more. Something needs to be done for this to be recognized a disease and that prison and punishment does not work. You DO NOT have to donate any money, your signature is the only requirement. Thank you!

Lost my brother to this last year. People treat it like a choice but it destroyed him. Enough is enough.

Finally someone said it. My neighbor lost her son to this and the way people talk about her family is disgusting. We have to change how we see this.

SO TRUE. IT DOES NOT DISCRIMINATE. Anyone can get trapped and they need help not judgment.

My cousin is in rehab for the third time and the stigma is the worst part. Its a disease plain and simple.
