Really Charlie

We met up with Anthony of Anthony's Angels on Facebook. He shares his story about addiction, incarceration, retaliation, redemption, and rejuvenation. Now he is helping others with their addiction.

Anthony of Anthony’s Angels on Facebook joins us on the Really Charlie podcast. He tells his story that contain addiction, incarceration, retaliation, but best of all rejuvenation as he helps others struggling with addiction.

Ed Bisch's story is a tragic example of the devastating impact of the opioid crisis in the United States, which has claimed the lives of thousands of people. OxyContin, a prescription painkiller, has been a focal point in this crisis due to its potential for abuse and addiction. Ed Bisch's advocacy through RAPP (Relatives Against Purdue Pharma) reflects the anger and frustration of many individuals and families who have suffered due to opioid addiction and overdose deaths. Purdue Pharma, the company responsible for manufacturing OxyContin, faced significant legal challenges and lawsuits for its role in the opioid epidemic. In November 2021, Purdue Pharma filed for bankruptcy and reached a settlement agreement in which the company and the Sackler family, who owned Purdue Pharma, agreed to pay billions of dollars to address the opioid crisis. While this settlement provided financial compensation and assistance for addiction treatment and prevention programs, it did not result in criminal charges against Purdue Pharma executives or the Sackler family. Ed Bisch's goal of seeing jail time for those involved in the opioid crisis is a complex legal matter and would require a thorough investigation and legal action by government authorities. The opioid crisis remains a significant public health issue, and many advocacy groups like RAPP continue to work towards holding responsible parties accountable and raising awareness about the devastating consequences of opioid addiction. Public pressure, legal actions, and advocacy efforts are essential to addressing this ongoing crisis and preventing further harm to individuals and families. https://www.facebook.com/RAPPedB/

www.achievegreatness88.org Achieve Greatness was founded in memory of our beloved son, brother, and friend, Andrew, who passed away from fentanyl poisoning in March of 2022. Before Andrew’s passing, he was passionate about coaching and teaching basketball while helping youth in his community. He created Achieve Greatness, where he mentored youth through basketball. In his memory, we have continued Achieve Greatness, building it into a nonprofit organization. Our mission is to continue to capture Andrew’s vision of sponsoring youth through basketball camps and other sports while also bringing awareness to and educating people about the dangers of fentanyl. In addition, we will also utilize our platform to address opioid use and addiction in our communities. Andrew was raised in Ludlow and New Bedford, Massachusetts, and his family continues to have strong roots in both communities. Therefore Achieve Greatness will host and attend community events statewide. Through these activities and sports camp sponsorships, we will communicate this important message and help save lives:

My journey of writing island mysteries began one April day, many years ago, as I waited to board the ferry to Daufuskie Island, South Carolina, for the very first time. My son assured me, in a knowing voice, we would be back at that exact spot many more times. He felt what I felt: the wonder, the pull that only this special place offered us. We were captivated as a family. Through all of our vacations and adventures, we always left energized, restored, and whole again. Daufuskie is its own magic. There is something immediately compelling about a place that can speak to you with its quiet, can inspire you with its beauty, can encourage you to dream by sharing its natural bounty, and can welcome you with possibility tucked into its mystery. As one of the Atlantic coastal islands, Daufuskie has been marked by centuries of American history and was made famous by novelist Pat Conroy's memoir The Water Is Wide in which he imagined the island in his unique way. From our family’s years of long beach walks on Daufuskie with our dogs, exploration, treasure hunts, and incredible family memories— Mongin Island was imagined and became the basis of my mystery series. After moving from Richmond, Virginia, to Atlanta, Georgia, my husband and both our children still enjoy time together on "our" island. Visit Laura Elizabeth at www.TheIslandMysteries.com.
