Too many shed tears...

In 2016, there were over 63,000 lives lost to drug overdose deaths...

There has been too many tears shed over addicts and alcoholics stolen from us too soon. Amazing, kind, loving human beings who never got to become the people they were destined to be because they got high until they died. Those lost weren’t just junkies, pillheads or drunks like some of the world would label them. They were brothers, sisters, mothers, children... all taken way too soon by the grips of their addiction.

I’ve personally shed too many tears over those lost to this terrible epidemic; both people I got high with and people I got clean with. It was men and women in recovery that saved me from continuing to use. I don’t know where I would be today if those detrimental people weren’t there for me when I was in need; chances are I wouldn’t be around anymore. I can’t put into words the amount of gratitude I have for those people, I owe them my life.

All I can do to repay that debt is be there for the next addict in need looking for some hope. The goal being one less funeral to attend, one less family missing a child and one less soul taken from this world much too soon
