Filing: Family made billions on opioid as crisis raged - Lowell Sun
"While aggressively marketing OxyContin, the Sackler family also sought to profit off the drug abuse crisis its company helped create by exploring selling drugs used to treat addiction and reverse overdoses, state lawyers contend in previously secret parts of their lawsuit against Purdue Pharma" - IF YOU ARE NOT OUTRAGED, YOU SHOULD BE!

Sober Grid - The Worlds Large Recovery App
Great tool!
sobergrid.com Sober Grid is the #1 free sober app that puts peer support in the palm of your hand.
We would like to thank everyone for their support over the past 2+ years! We would like to announce that we are moving into a bigger space, as we have unfortunately outgrown our current house. I say unfortunately because having to open a bigger house, means this epidemic isn’t getting any better.
We will continue to try and do our part but at least now we are able to help more men. Again, we can’t thank everyone enough for their overwhelming support. We are also in need of donations for the bigger space. Whether it’s beds, dressers, or clothing for incoming men. If you or anyone you know is selling or able to donate these items, please send us a message.

Why Jennifer Garner Took Ben Affleck to Rehab: 'It Was a Crisis Situation'
Relapse is more the rule than the exception in addiction recovery. In fact, relapse is considered a component of addiction, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), which says, “Addiction is a chronic, relapsing brain disease that is characterized by compulsive drug seeking and use, despite harmful consequences.” Instead of viewing relapse as a failure, NIDA recommends that people in recovery should interpret it as a sign that their treatment may need to be reinitiated or adjusted.
Godspeed, Ben.
