"We have the power and the responsibility to tear down the biggest obstacles, to make recovery America's business ... We're not doing enough to smash stigma ... the stigma is allowing people to die. It seems that every disease has a face these days ... but where are the faces and voices of people like us, and people like you? How many of you have ever written to a state legislator or your governor about what you know? How many of you who are in recovery have ever shared your story, or your family's story? Help us erase the stigma once and for all, because if you don't do it, who will?"

"It is the faces and voices of people from all over the country who are changing the terms of the debate about addiction and recovery in America.
"And it is Faces and Voices of Recovery (F.A.V.O.R.) that not only gathers us together to stand up and speak out in this debate, but to do so in a way that gives real hope to people, families and communities who suffer from the ravages of addiction to alcohol and other drugs.
"There is a solution. It starts with FAVOR."
-William C. Moyers
