    This story is painful to read and is all true. Hopefully, sharing my family's story about addiction can help others know they aren't alone. And that no one- not even a Surgeon General- can tackle this without help and support.https://www.statnews.com/2017/12/07/surgeon-general-and-his-brother/ …

        My brother died from addiction and untreated mental health. God put the answers here in things like #Kratom, ketamine, mdma, and marijuana. We just let a few bad apples destroy the whole damn bunch. We need to shift gears to research alternatives. All we do now is fill prisons.

        Sadly many share similar stories. By speaking out we stop the stigma, we stop the shame and we start the healing and helping

        Thank you for sharing your story. Addiction doesn't discriminate, it can and does affect so many families, including mine. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

        Same story in my fam in Utah. My younger brother is in jail right now. Drugs, theft, undiagnosed mental illness. Heartbreak for all my family. It literally killed my mom at age 69. My niece now appears to be on same path. This is happening everywhere.

        Thank You Surgeon General. Your story is heartfelt. Addiction is a disease. Please tell the GOP not to gut health insurance
