Thank you for this insightful and brave presentation. No doubt the ignorant haters will have a knee jerk spasm of caveman attitudes. But I see society slowly starting to come around toward a more enlightened, empathetic and compassionate response. In part this is due to better understanding of addiction. In part it is a result of addiction suddenly appearing in their own neighborhoods and families. When it happens to people you know and care for it becomes very real. And addicts become people.
