About to join #AWNewYork @TalktoMeNOAC panel discussion with @NikkiSixx. Follow along and join the conversation using #talktome. #RecoveryMonth

It’s critical we break the stigma around addiction. Help is available and #RecoveryIsPossible. #TalkToMe

Carrying naloxone and knowing how to use it can mean the difference between life and death. Read my advisory & learn how YOU can make a difference: hhs.gov/surgeongeneral… #talktome

Important follow-up conversation on the importance of co-prescribing naloxone to patients considered to be at high risk for an overdose. Read @HHS_ASH’s @HHSGov guidance here: hhs.gov/about/news/201… #talktome

“Addiction is addiction,” says Randy Grimes, former @Buccaneers player. “You get out of recovery what you put into it.” Communication and breaking down the stigma plays such a big role in that process. #talktome #RecoveryMonth

Stigma kills more people than overdoses. I implore you to share YOUR story, so that if someone else hears it and relates to it, they know that #RecoveryIsPossible. #talktome #RecoveryMonth
