Amber Gazso\u0026amp;#x2019;s work revolves around the three-principles idea that (1) addiction is part of everyday life; (2) if we believe that people are not their addictions, then stigmatizing addiction has no place in society; and (3) destigmatizing addiction and providing better, more imaginative programs and services invites and supports actionable hope. Reflecting on qualitative data, both narrative interviews and policy discourse, \u003ci\u003eSubstances, Welfare, and Social Relations\u003c\/i\u003e illuminates how stigmas can be overturned through a collective praxis of hope.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments \u003cbr\u003e1.
