Some of these numbers are astonishing....I grew up in Walker County and still own property there. It saddens me to see people I know well that have fallen under this scourge. I know folks choose to use drugs but their families and loved ones didn't. I have seen people struggle to overcome the demons but ultimately lose the desire to continue the fight or fall victim to the deadly drugs combinations.
