I thought I was uniquely broken, so messed up that no other human could possibly get me. Turns out most addicts feel that way. I knew he drank occasionally, but I had no clue how much he drank, how much it meant to him, or how much he was offering by his willingness to forsake it for me. To this day, I wonder what things would have been like if I would’ve opened up to him and let him fight alongside me instead of blocking him out. I can’t count how many times I have wished that I could go back and take him up on that offer.”",

A motto designed to humanize the experience of addiction has been turned into a weapon that targets people who rely on opioids for pain management, and that translates to real-world stigma.”",
