I love what you did, you "gave it a voice". You are absolutely right in every way and if they don't hear you loud and clear then they are doubling their mistake.
It needs a voice, it's no mystery the enormity of addiction and the damage it does to families, the violence and crime associated with it, and the number of loved ones it steals from each of us.
Thank you for speaking, for giving it a voice.
Hugs
