I’m different.
Not a bad different.
Just different.
They changed me,
how could they not?
Small talk is difficult.
Simple fun feels like wasted time.
There is so much work to do,
someone’s child just died.
5 minutes later another one will.
I’m often intense and too serious.
I say I love you every chance I get.
I can’t keep quiet about my God.
I really want you to know God too.
I want you to know stigma kills and addiction isn’t a moral failing.
I must tell you about the dangers of illicit drugs, fentanyl and overdose.
I feel how precious time is.
I know how short life is.

ADDICTION. OVERDOSE. DEATH.
THEY CHANGED me.

They changed me, but they didn’t take me.

They took my son.
Yes, I’m different.

How could I not be….

Parker’s Mom,
Paula Cunningham

Today, “988” is the three-digit, nationwide phone number to connect directly to the 988 Su***de and Crisis Lifeline. By calling or texting 988, you’ll connect with mental health professionals with the 988 Su***de and Crisis Lifeline, formerly known as the National Su***de Prevention Lifeline. Veterans can press “1” after dialing 988 to connect directly to the Veterans Crisis Lifeline which serves our nation’s Veterans, service members, National Guard and Reserve members, and those who support them. For texts, Veterans should continue to text the Veterans Crisis Lifeline short code: 838255.

The crisis line can be lifesaving for people thinking of su***de or self-harm, but you also don't need to be at risk to use it.

Scott Cochran is the former Alabama Football strength coach.

After the 2019 season Cochran left Bama after spending 13 years with Coach Saban- he ended up at Georgia as special teams coach for Kirby Smart.

Last August it was announced that Cochran was stepping away from his job to prioritize his mental well being.

Yesterday, Cochran posted this picture with the caption:
“Proud to be one year sober. This means a ‘lil more than the rings.”

Congrats to Scott who looks great and is celebrating a big accomplishment.

Most of life’s battles are won or lost in the mind. Remember, you can't have a positive life when you have a negative mind.
