If you are struggling, you are not alone. There is hope, help, and people who care. Stigma keeps people from seeking help, but awareness saves lives. Letβs stand together on #BlackBalloonDay to remember, support, and take action. Follow @OverdoseLifeline for resources. #TogetherWeRemember
My beautiful brother, James, died in August 2019 at just 28 years old after battling substance use disorder. He was loved. He mattered. He should still be here.
Today, Iβm honoring him and the countless families impacted by overdose.

Graphic with my son's picture on the right, black balloons above his picture and on the left of the graphic. In front of them it says "Black Balloon Day March 6." In the middle is a large red heart that says "Remembering my loved one." At the bottom is a heart with angel wings and a halo, and NotInVain next to it.
Today, on International Black Balloon Day, we honor our beautiful son Bryan, and all loved ones lost to drug overdose.π€
Bryan, forever 32 ππ¦

Today, we remember. π€π We honor those lost to overdose and join Overdose Lifeline in raising awareness for #BlackBalloonDay. Please #share this virtual balloon in remembrance of those weβve lost, and to help spread awareness, compassion & hope for recovery. π
I never heard of #blackballoonday which is obviously to honor real people & not the character me and many of my moots adore but maybe thereβs a respectful way to use him to bring attention to it like a fandom fanart money raising thing. I dunno, just thinking out loud.
Today clients from across our programs are releasing balloons in honor of Black Balloon Day. π
Black Balloon Day is an event dedicated to raising awareness around overdoses & commemorating the lives lost to substance use disorder. #Riverbend #blackballoonday #overdoseawareness

Ryan brought such a bright light and spirit to this world. It still shines a bright as his beautiful Irish eyes. He was a fierce activist and he continues to share his strength with us and guide the work we do. Shine on beautiful boy, shine on! #4Ryan #RyansHope #BlackBalloonDay #MSTH #DrugSky
