U.S. Surgeon General on Twitter: "“I say we are enabling recovery.” Addiction is a chronic disease of the brain. It’s important to save a life. We need to make sure treatment is apart of the conversation. #getnaloxone… https://t.co/KPTwGXPLGR"

  Why don’t you ever focus on the plight of PAIN PATIENTS? The government efforts to help one health issue, drug addiction, has caused great suffering for another health issue, painful diseases. Is it right to hurt one group of citizens in order to help another? #SuicideDue2Pain

  Yes! A person only has a chance for recovery if they continue to live! Saving a life is many times the first essential step in the recovery process.

  It's an illness, not a disease. It's a choice.

  Thank you sir for explaining how important it is to understand addiction and how 1 act can save a life. Naloxone has saved my daughters life 3 times before she got help. Thank God she is 2 1/2 years clean now. There is a way out !
