DJ AM’s “Gone Too Far” Addiction Series to Air on MTV.
WOW! DJ AM knew all too well about the daily struggle of drug addiction. The late celebrity spinner (born Adam Goldstein), who died of an accidental drug overdose in August at age 36, spent his last few months filming an MTV series called “Gone Too Far,” in which he spoke candidly about his own addiction, his 11 years of sobriety, and his desire to help other young addicts overcome their demons.

This is so tragic. If this doesn’t speak to addicts and their families, I don’t know what will. ELEVEN YEARS! Its heartbreaking really. Your blog is really wonderful, thank you for all the time and effort you put here. Its got some great resources.

P.S. I just read the link to “DADD” and wonder why the police in my county allow drug dealing to go on. If all the addicts know the two streets where you can get drugs, then the cops must know. Why do they allow it????? My son says they have drive-thru service on Camille Street. You drive up, tell the dealer what you want (there are several standing out there all the time its a residential street). Then the dealer sends out a child (A CHILD!) age ten or so to do the actual exchange of money for drugs. WTH!? It infuriates me to know that this is allowed to continue.

Barbara, the message is clear to those affected. What’s amazing is how impacting the world of addiction and recovery really is to everyone. Yet with incredible resources everywhere; isolation and denial prevail. We need a public mandate for recovery and humane awareness. My hope is that America has had enough of the failed war on drugs; users bearing the brunt of it. Too many young people stuck in this world, get locked up, hospitalized, institutionalized or die, forever scarring their families and themselves. Its really time for a change. Dadonfire.
