EXCITING OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE YOUR STORY! A few moments ago, my friend + colleague at the Washington DC Office of National Drug Policy (ONDCP) emailed me and asked for YOUR stories! Please read his note below.... ------------------------------------------------------ Dear Friends and Colleagues: This year, the Office of National Drug Control Policy will be decorating a Christmas Tree in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building that recognizes the millions of Americans who are impacted by substance use, celebrating recovery and commemorating those we have lost to substance use.
