Addiction is a treatable disease, not a sign of human weakness

An article from the Bermuda Royal Gazette:

"Twenty-five years ago Hillary Soares recalls meeting a 19-year-old drug addict. 'She was desperately thin, full of tears, she had nowhere to go. It was hopeless, I was curious about why she had chosen to do this to herself, she said. This was before I had come to understand drug addiction as a disease.'"
