TANNER ... IT SEEMS LIKE
EVERYONE YOU TALK TO HERE AT THE
SUMMIT HAS A STORY TO TELL
ABOUT HOW ADDICTION HAS IMPACTED
THEIR LIVES OR THE LIVES OF
LOVED ONES. ONE MAN
DECIDED TO TURN HIS DEVASTATING
LOSS INTO HIS LIFE'S MISSION.
(PKG)
Gary Mendell's life changed
forever in 2011 ... when his son
Brian lost his years-long battle
with
addiction.
GARY MENDELL/FOUNDER AND
CHAIRMAN, SHATTERPROOF - 12:47 I
WAS REALLY STRUCK WITH HOW MANY
OTHER FAMILIES WERE HAVING THEIR
LIVES SHATTERED
AROUND THE COUNTRY, JUST LIKE MY
FAMILY HAD BEEN SHATTERED :07
Mendell founded Shatterproof, a
national organization aimed at
ending the suffering and
removing the stigma of
addiction.
13:40 MY SON BRIAN DIDN'T
OVERDOSE. HE HADN'T USED A
SUBSTANCE IN 13
MONTHS WHEN HE WOKE UP AND
RESEARCHED SUICIDE NOTES AND
TOOK HIS OWN LIFE, AND
HE OFTEN SPOKE ABOUT NOT FEELING
LIKE A PATIENT AND FEELING LIKE
AN OUTCAST :17
Also working to end *** and
prescription drug abuse is the
U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency.
SEAN FEARNS/CHIEF OF COMMUNITY
OUTREACH,
DEA - 20:42 WHAT WE ARE GOING TO
CONTINUE TO DO IS GO AFTER THE
BIGGEST DRUG
TRAFFICKERS THERE ARE, THE ONES
WHO ARE IMPORTING, AS THE
PRESIDENT TALKED
ABOUT, IMPORTING MASSIVE AMOUNTS
OF *** FROM MEXICO, PRECURSOR
CHEMICALS
FROM CHINA, AND WE ARE GOING TO
GO AFTER THEM AND RIP THEM OUT
AT THE ROOTS :13 DEA officials
say they are also taking steps
to more closely regulate and
coordinate with the
pharmaceutical industry, and
engage with faith- based
leaders, doctors and others.
