I lost my best friend to fentanyl 3 months ago...we aren’t the only ones. Why is that deaths from people getting shot is headline news while deaths from people overdosing on fentanyl is seen as just another statistic?

I’m sorry to hear that. I lost my oldest and dearest friend to it back in January.

He’d been having a problem giving up the booze, had some other issues going on in his life.

I knew about his drinking problem, I thought he’d been trying to get help for that.

I hadn’t heard from him in a while until I got a call from his sister and she told me the sad news. It was a fentanyl overdose. He did it deliberately.

I sure miss him.

A gal who use to live nearby me went through a seperation from her husband and tried drug use ‘for the first time’ via her brother. They found her in bed dead.

Drugs are a risk no matter what you take.

Sorry for your loss.

Read few months ago that a kid at a campus party died shortly after taking fentanyl. His friend, who tried to give him CPR, also died.

A friend called me a few months ago to tell me their son overdosed the night before.

They thought he had his problems under control.

He had it all. Great family, good job, friends.
