Tell us what they were like before they developed a substance use disorder*
Zach was someone special that left an impression on everybody who met him. If it wasn't those green eyes and long eye lashes then it was his personality and sense of humor that drew people to him. He was always the life of the party and made everyone around him laugh. He loved unconditionally and he considered his closest friends to be like brothers and sisters. He was uncle Zach to not just his nieces and nephews but to his friends kids as well. Zach was a proud brother, who loved and cared about us more than we deserved. He stood up to anybody to defend and protect his sisters. He was kind, caring, smart, handsome, and ridiculously funny.
Tell us about their struggles with substance use disorder
can remember the exact moment that things got bad for Zach and addiction would take over his life. He was fifteen years old, I was seventeen. I had an infant son and was getting up in the middle of the night to make his bottle when I walked past Zach's room and could see the silhouette of him sitting in the dark on his bedroom floor, crying, listening to music. He had just gotten home from the hospital where he and his then girlfriend would go with the advice of the physicians to remove their 45 day old son who was born prematurely off life support. Life for Zach after that moment was pure chaos. He would use any drug he could get his hands onto and push his limits to face many overdose scares.
What made them smile?
His son Abel
What do you miss the most about them today?
His jokes.
If you had a chance to say one more thing to today what would it be?
I love you so much. Please stop, dont do this. I need you so bad.
