Yesterday, I had a moment that brought me straight back to the raw, unfiltered reality of addiction. It was a massive wakeup call, and I feel heavy inside knowing how many people are still out there fighting for their lives right now. They need our prayers, our love, and our action.
I was leaving a restaurant when I saw a young man slumped over his steering wheel. Looking inside the vehicle, I saw the paraphernalia and pills. My heart sank. But thank God, I keep Narcan in my truck. I immediately called 911 and administered the Narcan.
When his eyes finally opened and he came to, the look in them hit me like a ton of bricks. It was a pain and confusion that was all too familiar. It was the exact same pain many of us have carried.
It was a powerful reminder that we truly never know what someone else is going through behind closed doors or behind the wheel of a car. The police and the ambulance arrived quickly, and because of God and that sequence of events, he is still alive today.
Please, if you are out there and are struggling, know that your life matters. You are not too far gone. And for everyone else, please consider carrying Narcan. You never know when you might be the exact person God uses to give someone another chance at tomorrow.
Keep praying for the ones who are still lost in the dark. Recovery is possible, but the battle is so very real. 🙏💜
