Substance Use Disorder impacts every aspect of our society. It costs our country $1.45 trillion a year in economic loss and societal harm
It overwhelms our police and clogs our courts, wrecks families and communities and warps our foreign policy and national defense, and is responsible for $10s of billions of healthcare costs.
HOW IT STARTED
My dad drank heavily. I watched him and his buddies. I learned. I tried it.
I loved it!
I immediately had access to uninhibited confidence. I was accepted into a larger social circle. I felt rebellious!

HOW IT CONTINUED
I went to college. I met many more like minded people, and I continued drinking.
We weren't casually drinking. This was 3-4 days a week, who can drink the most kind of drinking.
