Substance abuse is a huge problem that is raging rampant across the nation right now.  And what is horrifying, is that kids are becoming addicted to drugs at a younger and younger age. So we need to talk about it! And just wait till you meet my guest here today.  Jim Hood is CEO of Generation S.O.S., a national nonprofit organization that implements and promotes free, peer-driven substance misuse awareness and prevention programs for students at middle schools, high schools and colleges across the country.  This issue is very personal for him, as he lost his son to substance abuse, and he wants to save other families from that same pain.  Now he spends his time and energy educating schools and saving lives
