My grandson OD'd on Fentanyl, apparently three times from when he got kicked out of the sober living house for being high.

My daughter hasn't had a drink in over 3 years. I don't think she'll ever recover from some of the things it did to her body. She's still afraid of getting triggered and won't be around anyone who's drinking.
