re: The US Overdose Epidemic - Big Deal Or Meh?

I can't tell you I'm sorry enough. I couldn't imagine that. I pray for peace for you and your family, coming from a recovering addict myself. I lost my best friend that I grew up with and considered the brother I never had a couple months ago. Got a call at 7:30am from his actual brother balling crying telling me he was brain dead. He od'd and his "friends" took 20-30 min to get their story straight before calling 911. He could've possibly survived.. Seeing him like that and being with family in the room all crying, I couldn't help but picture myself in his position and that being my family. Because it very easily could've been me and still could be. You don't just get over Addiction, it's a every day battle. I just know today, I'm one day further from my last use.
