The only thing Narcan enables is breathing.
I carry Narcan everywhere I go.
There’s multiple in my house, in my car, in my bag, anywhere I might be, because I’m not naive enough to think “that could never happen to me or someone i love”.
I didn’t think I’d ever be able to live a life where I get to show up for my kids, my friends, my family, my work, my purpose. And I wouldn’t have, if Narcan didn’t save my life.
Some people still make Narcan controversial.
They say it “enables” people, but the only thing Narcan enables is breathing. It enables another chance. It enables a future that person might not have had otherwise.
I’m living proof of that.
Narcan gave me the chance to try again, to get better, to build a life I never thought I’d get to have.
So yes, I carry it everywhere. Not because I’m paranoid, but because if I can give someone else that same second chance, I will. Every single time‼️ I have been clean since April 23, 2019 if anyone out there struggling thinks they can’t find recovery. I assure you that you can‼️
