Fentanyl: From Loss to life FENTANYL BOOK

This book is a guide for parents by Dorline Levels after she lost her son, Dwan.
The Main Vibe: It’s NOT your fault. Society’s shame is the enemy of healing. Turn your pain into action.

3 Key Safety Alerts:

* Invisible Killer: Fentanyl is laced into everything (even weed) & a tiny dose is lethal. Treat every casual risk as a death sentence.
* DEADLY Relapse: Tolerance drops fast when clean. Relapsing with the old dose is guaranteed death. You MUST carry Narcan.
* Physical Signs: Look for pinpoint pupils (like a pinhead) and extreme lethargy/nodding off.

3 Key Communication Tips:

* Side-by-Side Talk: Talk while driving or walking, not face-to-face confrontation.
* Focus on Pain: Ask “What are you feeling?” not “What are you doing?”
* Boundary: Your only job is to state the boundary of life/death: “I love you. My only focus is to protect your life.”

Reminder for YOU: Protecting your own mental health is VITAL. You’re the anchor. Find a group like Nar-Anon
