Today’s Reading — Recognizing and Releasing Resentments.

Brigit reads today’s NA reflection, reminding us that holding onto resentment only weighs us down.

When we recognize it and let it go, we create space for peace and growth.

You don’t have to carry it forever.

What you build… stays.

🚨 The biggest killers right now

1. Fentanyl (still #1)

* This is still the main cause of overdose deaths in the U.S.
* It’s 50–100× stronger than morphine and often hidden in other drugs
* Most fatal overdoses still involve fentanyl or something mixed with it

👉 The biggest issue: people think they’re taking something else (like he**in, pills, or even co***ne), but it’s actually fentanyl.

⸻

2. Xylazine (“tranq” / “zombie drug”)

* A non-opioid animal tranquilizer mixed into fentanyl
* Causes:
* Severe skin wounds (flesh damage)
* Heavy sedation
* Overdoses that are harder to reverse
* Narcan (naloxone) does NOT reverse xylazine itself
* In some areas like Philly, it’s in a huge percentage of street drugs

⸻

3. New emerging drug: Medetomidine (“dex”)

* This is one of the newest, fast-spreading threats (2024–2026)
* Similar to xylazine but often stronger and more dangerous
* Causes:
* Extreme sedation
* Very low heart rate and blood pressure
* Severe withdrawal symptoms
* Doesn’t respond well to Narcan either
* Linked to rapidly increasing overdose deaths in places like New York

Today’s Reading — Moments of Perception.

Jake reads today’s AA reflection, reminding us that change often comes in quiet flashes of clarity.

Those moments where you finally see yourself, your patterns, and your path a little clearer.

Don’t ignore them.

Those moments can change everything.
