Addiction is real…….. it’s hard not to hate the addict, but we have to remember it’s the drugs we need to hate not them. My mom struggled with addiction for more than 20 years after my dad died in 1993; January 14th 2017 she was found dead from an overdose. She was only 43 years old…… we need to increase awareness and provide more resources for help and decrease the stigma that goes along with addicts. #hatethedrugnottheaddict ❤️

Overdose affects everyone. From grieving families to spontaneous first responders, the impacts of overdose are far-reaching and fall indiscriminately.
