The Day the Silence Ends

October 4, 2015

Addiction Education Society (AES) participated during the weekend of October 4, 2015 a the base of the Washington Monument for the Unite to Face Addiction Rally. The stigma of discussing addiction is exactly why the rally was held to create a public forum for many to face the addiction in their own lives and the lives around them and acknowledge that there is no shame in talking about it, getting help, and celebrating the choice for sobriety. The rally featured live concert by Joe Walsh, Steven Tyler, Sheryl Crow, Jason Isbell, Aloe Blacc, The Fray, John Rzeznik of the Goo Goo Dolls and more; powerful inspirational speakers from all walks of life who have been affected by addiction; and celebrities, and elected officials joined together to change the conversation around, and bring new solutions to, the addiction crisis in America

The UNITE to Face Addiction Rally in Washington DC was a day to remember! Those who have faced addiction in their lives didn’t worry about the threat of a hurricane — not when it came time for “The Day the Silence Ends.” Instead we made history together!
