A True Saint Has Left Us: Betty Ford Has Died



Betty Ford was a pioneer in recovery from addiction. She moved mountains were no one dared. She saw solutions where no one cared to look and she left us all with a comforting feeling that there is help for those who suffer from addiction.

Betty knew, that there is a flourishing life after addiction if we want it. By her example she made it clear that all the negative stigma addiction leaves behind, could be forgotten if one made a big enough difference. Betty made that difference all over the world.

The recovery and prevention establishment has lost a great icon who championed a second chance at life, like no one could. May we all aspire to take her example and be motivated to make the changes she has. Betty Ford was 93.
