It's not that they're being selfish, most just don't think it could happen to them. And the OP stated this happened to her daughter in 2020, which was the year of COVID lockdowns and fake medications/drugs. You must not know how many people who have never touched drugs before, decided to try them and died. So much fake stuff was going around during that year and even in 2021, that people who thought they were taking a 5mg pain pill were actually taking a counterfeit one made out of fentanyl that turned out to be lethal.

      The perfect storm for OD deaths. Tolerance dropped to nothing, relapse when a batch with very high fentanyl content is being sold. A one off treat becomes a death sentence.
      The Sackler family tricked normal Americans into becoming addicted to Oxycontin - the type of people who would have never bought hard drugs off the street.
      They started this latest opioid epidemic and they've had their family named removed from universities, museums, art galleries and hospital wings.
      They should be sharing cells with El Chapo. The Cartels never pretended their merchandise wasn't addictive or harmful. The Sackler's are worse in many ways.

I didn't hear his voice verbally it's like he was in my head and every excuse I made up he was like nope! And each time I tried to manipulate by acting like a victim I felt this shock to my body 😂 it was scary then but now I can laugh about it because once I surrendered I felt this feeling of unconditional love, I stopped fighting the holy spirit but it only worked because I was 100 percent ready. The Lord will only save you when you are ready to die completely to your old self. I don't force it I just tell people my testimony because they have to do the work and seek for themselves. So letting addict's hit rock bottom and not enabling them is more helpful or else they would just manipulate the empathy you have sometimes a simple prayer is all you could do because it's a spiritual battle not a carnal one I really want to help the people who are trying completely sober and just can't catch a break. I never went to rehab because I knew it was my responsibility to quit because I made the decision to start. I work in finance and talking to these people who are losing home's and can't get help is more important to me. I've been laid off and got evicted and getting help was like pulling teeth so I know what you mean. I wish more resources were available

    I'm an alcoholic and the addiction is hard. Bro had demons.. and it's difficult to kick off and it can lead to other stuff. Once back they want to end you. I'm so sorry another mother had to go thru this it's honestly horrible

      There's better therapy available now than there were 20 years ago. I hope you find a good therapist and get the help you need. You literally have to rewire your brain. It is, in my opinion, one of the hardest work that can be done. But it is possible.

      The fact that u have control shows it’s not the same as drug or alcohol addiction. I have a friend right now that I watch cry every time she does drug. Then she gets sober and acts like she will die unless she gets another dose. She does not want to do drugs anymore but she can’t shake the habit and she has wealthy family so there is never a short supply of money which keeps her getting more and more. We try to keep her away from ppl that still do it but there are those that go out of their way to find her Bc she always has the goods for a party. It’s very hard to watch. Very sad. Bc I literally see her soul split as a smaller version of herself fight so hard to come out but that demon is sitting heavy on her chest! There is no control just a want to fulfill that itch.

It’s a devastating thing to live with it really is and I pray that something can be done soon because many lives are being lost. A lot of people are suffering silently in the world today and it’s just heart breaking! Be sure to check on your loved ones even if they seem happy and okay because sometimes they may wear a mask because they don’t want to burden others with their problems. Reverence for life above all.

    Sending my deepest sympathies to the families, and I pray for their healing. This is so tragic. Addiction does not just affect the addict it also effects the whole family. My son has been addicted for 10 years now - I am grieving my Son while he is still alive. I go to bed every night and pray for him to finally decide he wants help, and at the same time wondering if tonight is going to be the night I get that call. There is nothing worse as a Mother to see your child in so much pain, and there the nothing you can do to help. I also pray that they close the border to stop these dangerous deadly and toxic illegal drugs from crossing the border. Our kids, family, and friends are dropping like flies from this evil called fentanyl, and the Federal Govt is trying to pretend they don't notice what is happening.

I have family members that are on drugs & even though they’re going thru things they STILL need love & compassion. I believe addiction is an extreme hardship to pass.

    Closing the boarder is a start! Let the boarder patrol agent do their job stopping the drug trafficking instead of processing and taking care of illegal immigrants!

    Condolences for the wife and cousins too. They died too. Can we not use 10 seconds of this interview to remember them also?

      I have compassion for him due to the fact he probably did not know that almost and probably the majority of drugs coming over the border are mixed with fentanyl by the Cartels now - he didn't die the other times in the past when he used, so why would he worry this time when he fell off the wagon that it would end in death by intent by the Cartels? They mix it up with every batch, some with lethal doses of fentanyl. I call it murder with intent. Democrat policy is to keep the border open without addressing the flow of drugs with the fentanyl added, and they insist on leaving the border open to let them all in as a family because they have someone's child in tow, but by majority most coming over the border are military aged single men. It is so sad reading the posts here, that one is led to believe there just aren't that many families left in America that hasn't suffered the loss of a loved one due to this lethal drug trafficking. Not the hippy days of free love and "smoke em if you got em" wheb very few died by comparison from drugs, the death rate and the homeless drug addicts on the streets now has brought us to war footing, well, some see it as a war for the lives of our generations to come of loved ones.
