August 31 is International Overdose Awareness Day. I've been sitting with this one all week — thinking about the names I've known, the families I've sat with, the grief that never quite resolves into anything tidy. Stigma is what keeps people dying in silence. We need to say their names. We need to say the word.

In addition to my other work in addiction and recovery, I am an educator for Georgia Overdose Prevention, to help people spot the signs and successfully reverse the effects of an overdose in an emergency. Seeing an overdose can be scary, but it's far easier if you are prepared.
An overdose can happen on the dance floor, at the gym, or anywhere else there are people. Let's talk about it.
