ItÏã½¶ÊÓÆµÖ±²¥™s kind of hard to address the problem (Overdose rate climbing in the Okanagan) when friends and family would rather sit on their hands and not use tough love to get their loved one the help they need. Not sure if itÏã½¶ÊÓÆµÖ±²¥™s a lackadaisical attitude or lack of spine, but every person that ODÏã½¶ÊÓÆµÖ±²¥™d had someone in their circle who knew they were taking drugs, and someone else who introduced them to it.
So, what is it? You donÏã½¶ÊÓÆµÖ±²¥™t care? You donÏã½¶ÊÓÆµÖ±²¥™t want to be the person that steps up? YouÏã½¶ÊÓÆµÖ±²¥™re worried about being the Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµÖ±²¥˜bad guyÏã½¶ÊÓÆµÖ±²¥™ for doing the right thing? You donÏã½¶ÊÓÆµÖ±²¥™t think itÏã½¶ÊÓÆµÖ±²¥™s your business to say anything?
Then guess what? Your loved one is playing Russian Roulette, and itÏã½¶ÊÓÆµÖ±²¥™s just a matter of time until you get the call.
