Novice Researcher. Passionate. Determined. Found Purpose on 05TEN19. Aim to educate earth on the Opioid Epidemic. New to research & web development. Launching website aiming for Opioid Epidemic Solutions and Drafting the Resolution on 07/17/19.

I am not naive to think that one can just break into this field, but willing to do the work and study the pros in order to develop my style and copy effectively/legally. A back injury from a non-fault car accident led me to pain management in lieu of a double fusion back surgery on my upper back/lower neck C4-C7] and in less than 8 months I managed to go from not ever even being on prescription medication to dependent, misusing, & finally abusing Oxycodone 15mg. This caused me to have Opioid Use Disorder | OUD. And I have spent six years fighting the disease.

In those six years I have lost my father to Colorectal Cancer and early onset Parkinson's Disease. Become a first-time father to a beautiful baby girl born 7/17/17. Had two uncles and a first cousin pass away as a direct result of the Opioid Epidemic and Opioid Use Disorder. Lost my career as an Operations Manager in the less-than-load transportation industry. I managed to achieve the title that matched my college studies prior to turning to thirty. While being tasked with managing 400+ associates and running the 24/6 Atlanta break terminal operations. Considering the Metro area and Greater Atlanta is the logistics city of America, that's a title worth celebrating. It is to me anyways. And finally, I was sent to prison for simple possession.

The profound understanding I have of OUD from the perspective of a child whose mother suffers from the disease as well as being a victim of the disease myself is as intimate as it gets in terms of knowledge and experience with the disease. I now also have a much better understanding of the Justice system in America as well as the reentry/recidivism issues stemming from the prison policy in this country. I aim to articulate that knowledge to shine a light for the laywomen & men as well as the professionals & institutions. In order to help facilitate a solution to the Opioid Epidemic. Hopefully even draft Opioid Epidemic Resolution Article 05TEN19.

I have been unsuccessful in attaining gainful employment for eight months and have been grossly underemployed for the entire six years I have had OUD. That time frame dates back to the second week of February 2013 and the first arrest for simple possession of Class II & IV prescription medications. Namely Oxycodone & Diazepam or Alprazolam. The second arrest occurred one year to the date later. And the third and final arrest was on January 10, 2018. All three for simple possession. All three for Class II & IV. 4 counts of simple possession each arrest (Oxycodone & Diazepam or Alprazolam). Total of 12 felony convictions. For simple possession.

It is my hope that I can find an institution, publication or organization that is willing to partner with me on this journey and support the endeavour with modest funding as to be able to begin paying back my now default student loans, and start being a productive member of our economy once again. Access to powerful information isn't always open source and advertising on social media for an unpopular topic like Opioid Epidemic Education isn't a free service. That's hindering my ability to extend my reach and share the Epidemic Education message I carry.

I believe that after approximately 6-12 months, conservatively, I will be able to monetize my works through my website https://OUDcollective.com through affiliate relationships, ethical advertising, and eventually an alternative wellness product. The OUDcollective.com is dedicated to Opioid Epidemic Education & is the braintrust to the plan to develop a cannabidiol | CBD product for folks looking to enter into recovery. As well as for Chronic Pain victims looking for an alternative to the traditional opioid analgesic | agonist as treatment for the disorder. The domain for that journey is https://CBDtoRecovery.com
