Being the parent of a drug related murder victim I know all to well how serious the drug problem is in & around Dayton, Ohio.
When something like this happens to you & your family all you can do to overcome it is to attempt to help others so something like this will not happen to them.
I can assure you this type of thing is one of the worst things that can happen to a human being & it is this very type of thing that is in fact slowly but surely destroying Dayton, Ohio.
Addiction is clearly the demon.
As it now stands the only solution is for drug addicts to get themselves into a program of recovery & become abstinent from their compulsive addictive behaviors.
The problem with that is most drug addicts are living in denial & delusion & therefore do not want to take a look at themselves or even admit that they may have a problem.
They do this despite suffering life damaging consequences including premature death or jail time.
It usually takes something very painful to get them out of denial & delusion which professionals call hit bottom.
In my son’s case it was two bullets in the back & a ride to the morque & for his killer 15 years to life in prison.
That goes to show you just how powerful addiction is.
So what can be done about this?
Forced recovery programs or no freedom or liberty for drug addicts?
Legalization of drugs?
Lock illegal drug dealers up & throw the key away?
Get laws changed that make it illegal to be a drug addict so police can legally round them up, drug test them & get them off the streets?
Better educate children about dysfunctional families the real cause of addiction?
Have our government pay drug dealers $35,000.00 a year to stop selling drugs & start helping addicts get off drugs?
Don’t laugh as it cost our government over $48,000.00 a year to keep a drug dealer in prison & most of them go back to selling drugs when they get out because very few companies will hire them.
Just what can be done about this problem & where will the money come from?
Dayton needs your help & ideas.
In the meantime if you know someone that is abusing drugs, narcotics or alcohol you can suggest they attend at least six AA or NA meetings & you can also tell the people that are affected by their using or drinking to attend Al-Anon meetings.
