The note reads:
I overdosed for the last time in August. it was a major wakeup call. I went to detox the next day and haven’t used since.
Due to you guys saving my life through CPR, and Narcan, I got my life back! Here’s what giving me life gave me:
- Ability to keep a steady job
- Custody of my daughter back
- Good mental health
- True happiness, and I actually am able to say I love myself, and who I am
- I got my family back, and they allow me to live with them, also have earned their trust back.
- Today I celebrate 5 months sober!
