A Community For Parents Struggling With The Loss of A Child From Substance Abuse/Drug Overdose/The Disease of Addiction
Angels of Addiction
Addiction is a disease of the brain... Wow. I wish I had known back then what I have learned about addiction since my son Jason Barganier died on March 1st, 1998 after taking LSD. Jason dove out a window on a bad LSD trip trying to escape from hallucinations he was experiencing.
Since my son's tragic death I have spent ten years trying to keep a promise that I made to him. My promise is to assure that Jason's death was not in vain.
If one life is saved by these pages and the work Angels of Addiction does on behalf of all our Angels then none of their deaths were in vain.
Please read the information found on this web site as well as info on links found throughout this site. We have worked hard to gather the facts and research in the field of substance abuse.
Over the years since the loss of our own children we have been on a non-stop mission to try and understand why our children became addicted to drugs.
Why were they unable to stop killing themselves, and why we were helpless to save them from a disease so mis- understood? A disease that came with it a very dark cloud over the lives of all concerned. Both addicts and their families.
Our mission seemed tied to our very own struggle for our lives in the wake of trying to continue on without our precious children. Now we share with all of you what we have learned...
