The National Council of Alcohol and Drug Dependence founded Alcohol Awareness Month in 1987 in an effort to reduce the stigma widely associated with alcoholism by spreading information about alcohol, alcoholism, and recovery. Each year, numerous groups around the country work to break down barriers to treatment and recovery to make the option of seeking help more readily available to those who suffer from this disease.
In solidary with NCADD and all those working toward recovery, we have compiled information about alcohol addiction and its effects in hopes that our readers will help us to spread awareness, bringing each and every one of us closer to reaching the goals of this important occasion.
