Often, substance use is one's solution—an attempt to cope with deeper underlying issues. It serves as a way to numb the pain or silence the chaos of the challenges individuals are facing. By acknowledging this, we can shift the narrative surrounding Substance Use Disorder from judgment to compassion. It's essential to understand that those struggling are not defined by their substance use but are individuals dealing with complex internal battles. Let's strive to support and empathize with those affected by Substance Use Disorder. Understanding this disease is a crucial first step in breaking the stigma. #themillionmileproject #substanceusedisorder #compassionoverjudgment #mentalhealth
