Missouri Recovery Network

Beautiful example of how important it is to take steps as you can, when you can but continue taking them

For parents and others who work with kids and young adults.

Just 2 years ago I was a homeless jobless junkie who'd steal just to eat and get high. Today I'm 2 years 2 months clean. I'm no longer homeless or jobless. Thi...s morning I was handed not only the keys to the store I work but the security code to alarm. I'm responsible for opening and getting things ready to start the day. If you'd have asked me 2 years ago if this would be possible I'd have laughed. If you put GOD and RECOVERY first..... Anything is possible.......

Join us on November 19th for a virtual briefing on Substance Use Disorders and Stigma: Research, Racial Disparities and Promising Approaches. RSVP now to reserve your spot. #StopTheStigma https://bit.ly/3naIXui

Many continue to ask whether addiction is a disease, so we asked the country’s top expert on addiction, Dr. Nora Volkow, the Director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). #StopTheStigma
