It has taken me a while to write about the Unite to Face
Addiction Rally. I have really tried to think about what it meant, being a part
of history. It was to people in recovery what Woodstock was to hippies 46 years
ago.

Unite to Face Addiction: In the News
WASHINGTON – David Stoecker thought he would die of his addiction to opioids and methamphetamine, which consumed nearly 25 years of his life and landed him in jail more than a dozen times.
Today, the Springfield 43-year-old is clean and helping others battling drug and alcohol dependency. And he's about to lend his voice to an increasingly forceful addiction advocacy movement that hopes to take Washington by storm next month.

A Call to Action for CARA 2015
CARA 2015 is the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act of
2015. It is the most expansive bipartisan federal legislation for addictive
support services to date. It will save the lives of countless people by designating
between $40 and $80 million to advancing treatment and recovery support
services in state and local communities nationwide. The bill was first
introduced in September of 2014 and reintroduced in February of 2015. It needs
your help in order to pass. We will talk about how you can help in a bit, but I
would like for you to know why it is important first.
