The Expressions of Addiction: The Many Faces of a Syndrome.
Drugging, gambling, shopping, smoking, and eating, even coffee - all regular people sharing their life experience with addiction in photos. Take the time to look at these images often pictures tell what the words cannot explain. Seeing their faces, their struggles and triumphs through the words offer a unique view into the lives of addicts. Again I'm reminded this touches us all in some way or form.
You can tell your own story at this site written or by photograph. Here's their call to action:

ABOUT Howard Shaffer’s interest in photography, art and photojournalism spans decades. During his graduate training, Shaffer worked as a freelance photographer. His success caused considerable self-reflection about his eventual career path. Ultimately, he chose a career in mental health research and treatment. Having accomplished career goals in science and academic health care (including hundreds of scholarly publications, books, and approximately 120 newspaper columns that were written for the Boston Herald), Dr. Shaffer now seeks to have a broader and more emotional impact on mental health issues in general and the addictions in particular. Howard Shaffer intends to accomplish this goal by integrating his knowledge as a clinician, scientist, and scholar with his skills as a photographer and photojournalist.
