Jason Barganier
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...
