I read with interest Dave’s story about Dopey and how he goes on without his good friend, Chris. It’s very much like what I do since my son, Patrick, died of an overdose nearly 3 years ago. I consider it Pat’s Legacy that, while I continue speaking at AA meetings, I have also been speaking at overdose awareness events. Both areas of substance abuse are in my wheelhouse as I was dually addicted and managed to survive. The way I put it at these events is “If I can recover, anybody can!”

I had "Save It For Later" in my head the whole time I read this post. Perfect title. Beautiful post.
GREAT. That was the goal.
