Welcome to the Sober is Dope Podcast with your host, POP Buchanan. This is a Public Service Announcement by Tara Laplante. Tara is an activist, and survivor. Her story is deep. This PSA is a call to action for dealers to stop lacing drugs with poison, and for addicts to think twice before they use some drugs that may be tainted. This PSA also asks for us to do the right thing and report overdoses. By calling the authorities and ambulance when someone OD can be the difference between life and death. Lastly, under the Good Samaritan Act persons reporting an Overdose are protected from self-incrimination. Please make sure you guys have access to NARCAN and Naloxone.

Full PSA by Tara Laplante

”Ignorance got people producing or altering lethal dope. & Disrespect got people knowing or unknowingly serving that to the communities. like it isnt bad enough people are dieing from violence. Shit i had people bring me bad shit and when i refused cause of instinct, they O.D infront of me, ya well i called that shit in. did the right thing and i know for a fact if that was me they would have left me there. During the overdose's of 2 people infront of me the apt was filled w chaos and panic. "friends" of the two people suggesting to me we drag the bodies into the hall way and bounce call it in from another location. someone attempting CPR and all i could do was think about why i didnt do a bump i was a junkie at the time woulda never said no... regardless i called it in and saved two fucken lives. when people come to u with ill intent and bad vibes two wrongs dont make a right. There is always a time to do the right thing! - i can still remember what it felt like watching 2 people i dont even know turn purple infront of me while everyone runs out of the house , in the distance the ambulance and police sirens getting closer and closer but it seemed like forever until they got there. after everyone was removed from the apt, i just sat there staring at my hands... thinking holy fuck that coulda been me. i would have been dead and not one fucken person would have done anything probably would have left me there. . . . it is a good scare tactic though..

Hoping everyone Stays Careful out there. Narcan/Naloxone is available from any pharmacy for FREE no questions asked for all First Nations & Inuit covered by NON INSURED. all u need is ur health card and status number. (they should have it on file)

also, remember the good samaritain act protects all individuals seeking help for a drug overdose. Call that shit on, you could be saving somebodys kids, dad, mom , daughter , auntie, uncle etc.” - Tara Laplante

Welcome to the Sober is Dope Podcast with your host, POP Buchanan. This episode is dedicated to the late Pastor David Ray Wilkerson. David Ray Wilkerson was an American Christian evangelist, best known for his book The Cross and the Switchblade. He was the founder of the addiction recovery program Teen Challenge, and founding pastor of the non-denominational Times Square Church in New York City. David Wilkerson was known to a broad readership through his many books. His most famous, “The Cross and the Switchblade” (1963), chronicled his ministry among gang members in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, where he had arrived as a young preacher in the late 1950s. Written with John and Elizabeth Sherrill, the book has sold tens of millions of copies and has been translated into more than 30 languages, according to its current publisher, Chosen Books.

“The Cross and the Switchblade” was made into a feature film of that name, released in 1970. It starred Pat Boone as Mr. Wilkerson and Erik Estrada, in his first film appearance, as a member.

Mr. Wilkerson was also widely known for his work with teenage drug addicts. He was the founder of what is now Teen Challenge International, begun in Brooklyn in 1958. The organization comprises about 200 religion-based residential drug treatment centers throughout the country and many overseas.

Through World Challenge, the umbrella organization for his ministerial activities, based in Lindale, Tex., Mr. Wilkerson founded the Times Square Church in 1987. Originally in Town Hall on West 43rd Street, it now occupies the former Mark Hellinger Theater, an ornate palace of lavish moldings and draperies at 217 West 51st Street, near Broadway. The Times Square Church is a nondenominational Protestant church whose worship style draws on the Pentecostal tradition. Services typically include gospel singing and the opportunity for congregants to approach the stage for healing and salvation.

Welcome to the Sober is Dope Podcast with your host, POP Buchanan. In this episode, we take a deep look at Manic Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, and addiction. Thank you, Dr. Tracey Marks, for this amazing information and videos. Download your free Bipolar packet here- http://markspsychiatry.com/manage-bipolar

The symptoms of mania include elevated mood, inflated self-esteem, decreased need for sleep, racing thoughts, difficulty maintaining attention, increase in goal-directed activity, and excessive involvement in pleasurable activities. These manic symptoms significantly impact a person's daily living.

What is a manic episode? A manic episode is not a disorder in and of itself, but rather is diagnosed as a part of a condition called bipolar disorder.

A manic episode is an emotional state characterized by a period of at least one week where an elevated, expansive, or unusually irritable mood exists. A person experiencing a manic episode is usually engaged in significant goal-directed activity beyond their normal activities. People describe a manic mood as feeling very euphoric, “on top of the world,” and being able to do or accomplish anything. The feeling is like extreme optimism — but on steroids.

Sometimes the manic mood is more irritable than it is elevated, especially if the person’s wishes are curtailed or denied altogether. Often a person in the midst of mania will engage in multiple projects at the same time, with little premeditation or thought to go into them, and finishing none of them. They may work on these projects at all hours of the day, with little regard for sleep or rest.

A person’s change in mood is typically associated with manic symptoms that should be observable by others (e.g., friends or relatives of the individual) and must be uncharacteristic of the individual’s usual state or behavior. In other words, they’re acting in a way that isn’t typical of themselves, and other people recognize it.

The manic feelings the person experiences should be severe enough to cause difficulty or impairment in their ability to function at work, with friends or family, at school, or other important areas in their life. Symptoms also cannot be the result of substance use or abuse (e.g., alcohol, drugs, medications) or caused by a general medical condition.

Bipolar disorder can be treated, usually with a combination of medications (called mood stabilizers) and psychotherapy.

Specific Symptoms of a Manic Episode

In order for a manic episode to be diagnosed, three (3) or more of the following symptoms must be present:

* Inflated self-esteem or grandiosity

* Decreased need for sleep (e.g., one feels rested after only 3 hours of sleep)

* More talkative than usual or pressure to keep talking

* Flight of ideas or subjective experience that thoughts are racing

* Attention is easily drawn to unimportant or irrelevant items

* Increase in goal-directed activity (either socially, at work or school; or sexually) or psychomotor agitation

* Excessive involvement in pleasurable activities that have a high potential for painful consequences (e.g., engaging in unrestrained buying sprees, sexual indiscretions, or foolish business investments)

Thank you, Dr. Tracey Marks, for the informative videos.
