    Not much help in that area. So many people have said I NEED HELP and cannot get the help they need. So many people need mental health, substance abuse help, addiction. The list goes on. Praying for family.

    This is sad. This poison is destroying families, communities and peoples life. With fentanyl so prevalent in this area…they are cutting/adding the meth with this…these people are playing Russian roulette with their lives and the ones they share with. For what? A high and to look like a skeleton? THIS MESS IS KILLING PEOPLE LEFT AND RIGHT….but they still do it…they say “it can’t happen to me” and/or “I know the one making it and I trust them”, REALLY? These dealers don’t care nothing about YOU! If you take a hit and die someone else will fill your spot in line. I remember when meth started its rise they were giving LIFE sentences to those with trafficking weight but that’s fell by the way side. Back then, you would find 1 out of your 10 friends/family members that were users of this poison but now it seems that out of 10 people all but 2-3 are NOT using this mess that’s killing people, destroying homes or making children parentless from either death or prison. We’ve tried the educational method but that’s not working either. This epidemic has gotten way out of hand to a point that we can’t turn it around. We must…as a friend/family member, community, State, Country take back OUR PEOPLE but where do we start. As Bill T stated, this young lady(I can call her that because I’m older) HAS been on this for awhile and as Just Sayin also said, she looks way over 56. I remember my “intake photo” when I said the 3 hardest words an addict can ever say, I NEED HELP! It’s horrific to see what I use to look like…the memories of the old me haunt me daily but I found a better way…I found a purpose in this life other than to be in a mugshot, a jail cell or a coffin! I pray that this person…and all others…will see what this poison is doing to not only themselves but to their families and friends. PLEASE keep praying for this one and all the others, I’m living proof that a mothers prayer turns them around and I thank her daily for never stopping her prayers…

    THAT is 56???? I’ll be 56 next week, and she looks at least 15 years older than I do.
