    "...Marty Mann (1905-1980) founded NCADD and dedicated her life to teaching the public that alcoholism is a preventable and treatable disease, not a moral failing. She was living proof that alcoholics are capable of recovery. Today, 80% of Americans understand her message and are far more open about acknowledging the destructive effect of alcohol and other drugs. But, they still too often blame the sufferer, producing a moral stigma that infects its victims with shame and denial. In an effort to refocus on Marty Mann's vision of NCADD, NCADD Board of Directors adopted this Mission Statement in February 2000: The National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence fights the stigma and the disease of alcoholism and other drugs."
