Residents across Worcester gather to fight against drug addiction; next mtg. May 24
About 50 people – advocates, teachers, nurses, lawyers, parents and children of addicts, and those on the road to recovery – came to the first meeting of the Worcester County Warriors Against Opiate Addiction last Thursday at the Ocean Pines Library.
Jackie Ball and Heidi McNeely, two local mothers who have watched their children struggle with heroin addiction, organized the meeting.
“It makes me cry to see so many people tonight,” McNeely, a Bishopville resident, said. “I think we are all so thrilled.
“We have formed this group out of a passionate desire to eradicate opiate abuse and deaths in our county,” she continued. “We want to be able to help the people that we love, whose lives have been altered by opiate abuse, and to help each other in this tumultuous journey of loving someone who is addicted to opiates, or having loved someone whose life was ended as a result of opiate addiction.”

I would suggest that the group focus attention on the SOURCE of the heroin. The US Government / Military Industrial Complex is the importer of opiates in this country. Nobody else can get the quantity across the border.
It all came out public when it was discovered that US Soldiers are "guarding the poppy fields" in Afghanistan to prevent their destruction by the religious zealots "Taliban" who hate drug use.
The Taliban was taken down in order to gain access to the poppies which produce heroin. Heroin is one of the most valuable products in the world (by weight).
If you really and truly have a passionate desire to eradicate opiate abuse then the first thing that needs to happen is you have to stop coddling the addict/user.
Parents, family and friends of users need to admit to themselves that they are most likely an enabler by making excuses such as it's a disease. It's not a disease.
You have to admit you can not fix it. Only the user is able to fix the very bad habit they have found themselves doing.
You have to admit that the addict is a liar and to take anything and everything they say with a grain of salt.
They are a criminal as well for using an illegal substance.
A lot of people actually most don't want your addict child or family member or friend around them.
And life will not be the same. They can always fail in their journey to not use so always be on the look out for signs.
12:28 is right.
1:10 is wrong.
No need to "stop coddling the user" if there is no product for sale.
The fact that the US government is the seller, and the imprisoner of users, is ridiculous. The fact that the drug profits are used for black ops against us is also ridiculous.
I agree totally.
There is plenty of evidence that the CIA ran cocaine into this country during Iran / Contra. Plenty of it.
check out the movie: Kill the Messenger
3:31 Latin America is the primary supplier of US heroin. And then Mexico. Afghanistan supplies to Europe, Asia and the Middle East. This area and other areas west of the Mississippi see mostly heroin from Columbia.
1228 you watch a show on neflix and actually believe that is the entire story. Stop it.
