“Recovery is starting to emerge from the stigma that's surrounded it for so long, and gen z kids are happy to talk about where they're at with this stuff. They're not walking around with the shame that previous generations carried. It's important to show that people in recovery are your neighbors, your coworkers, and your family members. The more we're open about it, the more normal it becomes to seek help and support. - John Cohan”
