Independence Day... or not???

Over 25 million Americans are currently addicted to alcohol, prescription or street drugs. Stop and think about what the 4th of July means in lieu of that statistic.

More than 100 Americans die from drug overdoses every day. Seven million addicted Americans also have at least one mental illness. Are they independent? No.

Statistics like these mean each of us has at least one addicted person in our lives... and likely more. So make a pledge to yourself this Independence Day.

Commit to helping that addicted person in your life.

Make that person feel welcome & loved.

Share what you can with that person.

And do all you can to get that person into a meaningful and effective treatment program. Addiction hurts all of us. Make America free by getting a friend off of his or her addiction.
