Addiction does not merely affect the addict, it creates a hell for
those around them. It does not merely destroy the addict's family
and friends, it has devastatingly far-reaching effects across the
board. Most alarming of all, it can happen to anyone, it's non-
discriminatory, it crosses all divides. But it doesn't have to be
this way. Recovering addicts CAN turn theirlives around, they
CAN be useful and upstanding members of society.
As the founder of R.A.E.L and RAEL Orange Friday, it has been
proven to us through years of experience that addiction loves to hide
in darkness, that people's shame / fear will prevent them from seeking
help, but, through support and open, non-judgemental, lines of
communication, addicts and their families can recover from this
illness,whether it's alcohol, drugs, or gambling.
It is in the whole world's best interests to address this illness
with the attention it deserves, it must be taken out of the shadows
and dark corners and brought to light. With awareness and support we
can make a difference in so many lives......
We continue to keep it in the open every friday with #RAELOrangeFriday
Where we ask people to wear Orange and share pics etc. So we together,
can fight this scourge killing our nation.
