This is the face of addiction.
This is Vincent.

He was funny. Kind. Creative. Sensitive. Stubborn.
He loved deeply and was deeply loved.

He was someone’s son. Someone’s best friend. Someone who mattered.

Addiction didn’t define Vincent — but it did take him from us. And that’s the part people don’t want to look at. They want statistics. Headlines. Distance.

But addiction has a face.
It has a name.
It has a family left behind.

Vincent didn’t lack morals.
He didn’t lack love.
He didn’t lack effort.

He battled a disease — one that too often comes with silence, shame, and stigma instead of support and understanding.

When we talk about addiction, we are talking about people. Real people. With stories, dreams, and families who carry their memory every single day.

Say his name.
See his face.
End the stigma.

Because love does not end with death — it transforms. 💜

Stigma thrives in silence. Education breaks it.

Too often, people struggling with substance use are met with judgment instead of understanding. Labels instead of compassion. Assumptions instead of facts.

Education changes that.

When we learn the truth — that addiction is a medical condition, not a moral failure — we start to replace shame with empathy and fear with action. Education opens doors to conversations, connection, and lifesaving tools like Narcan.

Stigma keeps people isolated.
Education brings people together.
And together, we save lives.

At Face the Facts, we believe knowledge is power — and compassion is everything. 💜

This is the face of my addiction. My baby boy. Who will forever be 23. For good, for bad he was still my son. There isn't a day that goes by that are not stopped directly in my tracks and realize a child I gave birth to no longer walks this Earth. The person I texted with 46 times a day was silliness with p**p emojis with just hey have a good day or you know it really pi**ed me off.
