Re: “All that's left: SLO County families cope with loss in the wake of the opioid epidemic”

Amazing story thank you for your honesty and sharing your experience. Drug addition is on a serious rise and it touches EVERYONE. My brother died of a heroin overdose, after a 17 year habit (several near death overdoses,one I witnessed at the age of 12) an other brother is finishing up 25 years 3 strikes vacation, stealing to support a drug habit. My younger brother finishing up his 16 year vacation, drug related domestic issues ( two addicts fighting for who got more) My mom was an alcoholic, she eventually died of complications and alone. I share a passion of helping instead of ignoring, what can I do? i have grand kids, what will their future look like?
