Depending on the are you live, if you know theres a high amount of people who are addicted to substances. I can only ask you to carry narcan and get CPR certified. YOU COULD BE THE HOPE OF SOMEONE NEAR DEATH.
If you do not know, NARCAN is a FDA approved medicine to bring someone out of OPIOID BASED DRUG OVERDOSE. This includes drugs such as OxyContin, fentanyl, methadone, and Vicodin, as well as street drugs like heroin. It does not work on anything else.

It could also be of great help to get CPR certified. I did this this year. Its helpful to know the signs of overdoes and what is needed to perform CPR correctly. You never know what life will throw at you so its best to be prepared!

A few days ago i was waiting at a bus stop and a saw a man across the street who was walking and just feel down suddenly. No one reacted, so i went to go check... he couldn't breath and began turning blue, Myself and another person gave him NARCAN and called 911. Thankfully he made it. And i Just want to share this story because maybe someone will be inspired to take make a move. We do have power to help others and to make change in the lives of others.
I spent years addicted to alcohol and drugs, trauma, mental health, discouragement and fear kept me in that dark place. But i think back to all the people who cared about me when i couldn't care for myself. It MATTERS!
Thanks for reading and have a great day.
