"There is a plague on Planet Earth. Addiction and Alcoholism have reached pandemic proportions and become our number one public health crisis. Each year, 250,000 Americans die from the chronic brain disease of addiction- double the number of all American military casualties since World War 2. There are solutions. It is my mission to carry this message of hope to as many people as possible."
