“These findings show that too many patients still aren’t getting a real choice,” said Ryan Hampton, “Nearly half of people in recovery said their provider discussed just one treatment option or none. People can’t weigh an option they never hear about. We have to do better at making sure those conversations happen.”

Sept. 10, 2026 – (Jerry Delgado, husband Sam and their son, Ryder,) Delgado quit drinking as soon as he learned his health was at risk, and more than a year after his transplant, he has remained sober and is now a full-time parent to a 15-month-old. The liver transplant, he said, saved his life in more ways than one. “But I’ve learned that I am worth it, and I’m worth the beautiful life I have now.”

Aug. 24, 2026 – A woman has shown off how different her face looks after going without alcohol for 17 months.




Heather Corrine Land, 33, ‘used to cry’ over the thought of never being able to drink again but has now been completely sober for over 21 months. Land, from Arizona in the US, suffers from chronic illness and autoimmune deficiencies and even had to take a significant chunk of time off work to help recover during the nadir of her health.




Alongside her struggles, Land says she abused alcohol for seven years, even describing herself as an ‘everyday drinker.’




Things got so bad that she admits that there were times she didn’t think she would reach her 33rd birthday and said she was ‘depressed.’

ART = HEALTH –



August 2026 – When Tara Baggendorf first entered the Aboriginal Drug and Alcohol Council (ADAC) rehabilitation facility in Whitmore Square, Adelaide just under two years ago, she had very little understanding of how addiction could appear in its various forms. As someone who was experiencing alcohol addiction and who had grown up with a mother who faced alcoholism, she hadn’t seen much of the impact of drug addiction.




“That’s very different,” she said. “It’s also a part of life I didn’t really have much of an understanding [about], and I think the withdrawal is very different. So, when you’ve got people [experiencing] different withdrawals in such a small place, that was also very eye-opening.
