It is such a tragic story of young boy who could grow up with beautiful future ahead of him and waylaid? by drug prescription addiction. This is a post against addiction.
You need to talk to your kids when they are very young.?
Oh I am so sorry! I havr seen this over and over and knowing any day its going? to happen again!
it seems we all nowadays have lost or are losing a loved one everyday to prescription abuse. i lost my mother two years ago to liver failure do to lortab abuse. and several good friends to overdose. last year i lost a good friends son who overdosed on his 18 birthday at his grandmothers house who is a drug dealer? by trade and she gave him the pills then when he fell over she cleaned house before calling a ambulance he was already dead. sad but true. godbless.
i help teenagers and many adults get help. first thing you do is find out about all the help centers and detox centers in youre area you can find and what it takes to get a patient in them. this way if someone approaches you for help then you can advise them to a help center to detox. the detox part of getting clean is the hardest it can take from 5 days to a month of the? sick part as many call it. also suboxone doctors in youre area. write anytime. godbless.
I lost my 22 yr old son Sean Good to an accidental overdose of his Ritalin. He was first diagnosed at 12 with ADD. The doctors never warned us about how? addictive Ritalin and Adderall all. Sean and gone through 22 days of Rehab at Memorial Herman in Houston, Tx. before they kicked him out for not buying in. Now I know the addict needs 90 days of rehab therapy to have a greater than 30% chance. Check out NIDA site for more info. I love you video, you are honoring your brother and he is paradise.
i know one of the? adom9 band members!

I’m not sure, but maybe if you go to their? website they”ll have the lyrics. There’s a link to the website if you click on the “more info” arrow above.
It’s me again! is there a way to get the lyrics to this beautiful? song? it has affected me so deeply. thank you!
you inspire me giving me the strength to do what i do? to help Rx drug addicts.
thank you!
Thank you so much! God? bless!
Thank you. That’s what I hoped for. :)? The song is Mariye by Adom9.
Anyone know the name of this song & who sings it? I have placed this video multiple times on all of my blogs that speak about prescription drug addiction. I think this young boy needs to be remembered and have his life as a testimony to save so many others. We each have a purpose and this was his. Now, he his safe and? happy again with God.
I’m? so sorry about your husband. I’ll send you a message.
I attended my first city counsel meeting last night, I was the ONLY citizen to question why we are not doing anything regarding the rx abuse in this town it’s ignored. They seemed in shock, they asked me to address the school board along side the Mayor, I really don’t know what I’m doing but I would love to have someone speak with me that has lost their child to this. Can you give any? advice or suggestions in starting a community group? I lost my husband to abuse
I understand how crushing this is. She had been addicted for a few years and finally my family decided to tell her she needed to get help or she couldn’t live with us. We thought hitting rockbottom she would realize and get help,? but instead she commited suicide. Everyone has this guilt for what had happened. I really appreaciate your video, prescription drug abuse isn’t something we are used to hearing, but it tends to effect most of us somewhere.
