[Highschool English Final] How can I make a speech about addiction?

I am in Highschool and for my final it’s called Project Activist and I basically have to create a three minute long speech about a topic of my choice as long as it in some way helps make the world a better place.

We would watch, listen, and read some famous/well known speeches and analyze it for things such as fallacies, poetic devices, evidence types, pathos, logos, ethos type of stuff.

My classmates are all doing their topic about current events such as AI, war, climate change, politics, etc. Originally I was going to do a speech about misogyny and toxic masculinity however I am the topic has been done before and one of my friends is covering that in her speech. I started thinking about wanting to cover things like eating disorders, self harm, social media abuse and realized addiction was a good umbrella term to have my topic on considering I could use both substance abuse and non-substance abuse addiction.

Honestly, with addiction as my topic I don’t know how to structure my speech especially since my goal is to motivate people with addictions to choose recovery.
I wanted to look for advice, maybe some personal stories, quotes, or suggestions on what to include in my speech because I want to understand addictions and victims of it better to be able to create a good speech.

On the writing part any advice for structure, quotes, rhymes and phrases I could possibly include would be appreciated. Or even stanzas or poems I could get inspiration from!

Any advice would do wonders, thank you!🙏
