You don't have to look far to see the damage done to our communities by the opioid epidemic. It's almost as if there was a conspiracy behind the crisis to thin the herd. The use of opioids and the use of heroin go hand in hand, one feeds the other. In Pennsylvania an average of 13 people die each day from drug overdoses. Neighboring West Virginia has consistanly led the nation in drug overdose deaths. This broken syringe was on the New Kensington bridge in Westmoreland County.
On Wednesday, November 4th, Governor Charlie Baker announced a statewide media campaign, with the bold goal of making Massachusetts a “#StateWithoutStigMA.” The campaign, built off one of the Governor’s Opioid Working Group recommendations last June, is designed to impact the negative stereotype of drug misuse, asserting that addiction is not a choice, it’s an illness.

“Addition is a chronic illness, not a moral failure,” said Governor Baker at a State House press conference, surrounded by people in recovery. “Studies show that stigmas can prevent people from getting into treatment—holding them back from recovery, stability and success. This campaign is another effort to bend the trend and change the way we think about opioid misuse and addiction.”
The five-week campaign kickoff utilizes radio, billboards and digital ads, featuring Massachusetts’ residents in treatment for substance use disorders. It seeks to reduce stigma by providing detailed information about the illness of addiction, educating the public about stigmatizing behaviors and how to reduce them and encouraging those impacted and their families to talk about their journey, bringing the disease out of the shadows.

On Monday, November 16th, Governor Charlie Baker testified before the Joint Committee on Mental Health and Substance Abuse, alongside Boston Mayor Martin J. Walsh and a representative from Attorney General Maura Healey's office, in support of the Governor's bill, “An Act Relative to Substance Use Treatment, Education and Prevention.”
“I understand that some of our proposals disrupt the status quo. They are supposed to,” said Governor Baker. “Our legislation aims to bend the trend on opioid misuse and provide much needed prevention and education programs, while continuing to expand access to treatment and recovery programs across the Commonwealth.”
Governor Baker's legislation has garnered broad support across the Commonwealth, including the Massachusetts Sheriffs Association, District Attorneys, medical students, behavioral health specialists and members of the law enforcement community.

This little painting is part of a large collage about my years of active addiction that I did in art school at Minneapolis College of Art and Design. At that point, in 1991, I had been sober over two and a half years. Today, in February 2020, I've been clean and sober 31 years. I have a new post up on my blog, chipinhead.com, talking about how lucky and privileged I have been and continue to be, to survive.
