West Virginia will always be near and dear to heart; it is where I was born and raised. I am a coal miner’s son, and the great, great grandson of Uncle Dyke Garrett (who Baptized Devil Anse Hatfield). My heritage runs deep in the Southern Appalachian Mountains of West Virginia. The drug and alcohol addictions in West Virginia per capita is unbelievable. I will reference my research later in the description. It appears Narcan has become the savior for drug addicts instead of a relationship with Jesus Christ. My family has been hit by drug and alcohol addiction on both my wife’s side of the family and my side of the family. I have personally witnessed the tragic effect addiction has on the entire family. Not just the individual themselves. Alcohol, opioids, meth, crack cocaine, etc. all lead to one place; destruction. In this pod cast I discuss the effect of addiction within my family and reference articles where I pulled my information. I also provide resources where folks can call and get professional help. These phone calls a free. I hope you enjoy the podcast.

“From my earliest years as a clinician, I worked with persons and families struggling with addiction,” said Elizabeth Croney, MSW, LCSW, Executive Vice President for Clinical Advancement at KVC Health Systems. “There was usually a great sense of hope because these disorders were very treatable if clients had access to services and became committed to the long journey of a recovery lifestyle. The climate now is quite different because addiction—while always a social problem—has now become a public health emergency.”
