Back in October of 2017, an 18 month old spent the night in ICU recovering from an heroin overdose, but was released the following day.
According to reports, when the child and his sibling came back from a park, the 18 month old put the drug in his mouth.
I have posted several stories on the issues of drugs as well as several poems of people struggling with addiction, and or overcoming the everyday battle of addiction.
It is an serious issue across the world and it seems like the fight hasn't subsided any, and it seems like there are no signs of overcoming the fight. I can't begin to tell you how many times I have seen people on a park bench nodding off, some waiting on the bus but can't get on because their body literally can not move. It is a battle that I believe will be forever ongoing.
