Facing Addiction Across America (Final part in the YouTube series)

"We add insult to injury when we lay on the shame on top of the struggle... Shame is really deadly. The silence that accompanies shame is the thing that we need to break." 

"Watch the final part of our Facing Addiction Across America docuseries with Ryan Hampton and Garrett Hade. Here, the duo completes their road trip from Los Angeles to Philadelphia for the Democratic National Convention. They reflect on the people they’ve met and stories they’ve heard along their trip.

People in recovery are everywhere. We are your brothers, your fathers, your mothers and sons, your sisters and daughters. We are your CEOs, we are your employees, your neighbors and your delegates to National Politics Conventions. While this road trip may be over, the journey is just beginning.
