  My son recently passed from this also. People are quick to judge that this addiction crises only happens to lower socioeconomic families and not the all American family. People need to wake up. This stuff is the devil and it’s not going away. 😢

  My best friend died at 30.  He was married. Had a kid, and one more on the way.  But I tried and tried and tried to get him to stop using opiates.  He begged me to get him into the Army for a referral (since I just got out) but I told him you don’t detox at boot camp.  Eventually, it got to the point where he stopped talking to me because he got so fed up with me keeping it real.  It’s like “BRO, you’re a parent.  I went through the same crap.  But I stopped partying after my son was born.”  He never grew up.  And when he died, I was so angry that he left his two sons without a biological father.  I didn’t cry once at the funeral and memorial.  I was so mad.  Two years later and I finally cried today when his picture of him and I at his wedding popped up in the “reminder” photos memories.

  It wasnt Nathan's fault and it was at the same time. The mother was absolutely fantastic to see it the way she did. Real humanity right there. Well done.

  To the father at around four minutes, it is not your fault in any way. It sounds as if you did a wonderful job raising your daughter. I hope she is at peace in her place of rest.

  Opiate addiction took more than 8 years from me. I been clean for 4 years from Opiates and 2 years from alcohol. I will spend the rest of my life trying to make up that time with my 2 sons. Who are now adults. My heart goes out to those still at war with it and to those we've lost to it as well as the families affected by it.

  I’m a recovering heroin addict and have ten years clean. I am so grateful to have gotten clean when I did because I have no doubt that I would have lost my life if I kept using. If you are struggling with addiction, I promise you that recovery is worth it. You’re worth it. Everything you want is on the other side of fear if you give up drugs.
