Lovato sprayed the medication, Narcan, up his friend’s nose. Eventually, his friend woke up. The party went on after a pause as if nothing had happened.
Lovato grew up in the Denver suburbs, graduated from Dakota Ridge High School in Littleton and enrolled at Dodge City Community College on a baseball scholarship. He was studying engineering and being scouted as a left-hand pitcher when, at age 19,, an autoimmune disease that causes his immune system to attack tissues and organs. Lupus forced him to stop playing baseball and he came home to Denver for treatment.
Addiction made him homeless. His disease made it hard to hold down a full-time job. He worked as a valet for the Pepsi Center and casinos, but the cold in winter wreaked havoc on his body and he would get sick. After several absences, he’d get fired. He tried multiple times to return to college, but each time lupus forced him to stop.
He stays sober for his little girls, who are now 4 and 5 years old. While he’s sober, he gets to visit them at their adoptive parents’ home. Giving them up was the hardest decision he ever made, he said, but it was the right choice for the girls. He wants to stay alive so that, when they’re old enough, he can tell them why he couldn’t raise them even though he loved them so, so much.He still carries Narcan in his bag, along with baggies of supplies to give to people experiencing homelessness.

She participated in church projects.Emily grew up in El Jebel in Eagle County and was introduced to meth in high school. She lost weight and focus as she spiraled into substance use disorder. In 2017, Emily enrolled in a teen program in Casa Grande, Arizona, after an intervention by her family during her senior year of high school.
Cath and Ashley hope to speak to students in every school in their area to warn them about the potential lethality of the drugs they’re seeing peddled on Snapchat and online. They give young people opioid overdose reversal medication and teach them to use it.
well this is exactly what Denver and Colorado voted for... suck it up buttercups... Denver and Colorado Gov Policies are the very REASON for this MURDER of our Youth... but you all keep voting the same and expecting different results; insanity much... just IDIOTS?
…..don’t do drugs?
Imagine how many life’s could have be saved if Bo Gribbon outed his dealer for adulterating their drugs?
I have a hard time wrapping my head around , why the drug cartels insist on putting out a product that actually kills it customers. From a business perspective, It simply doesn’t make sense!
