Good Monday morning to all.
Do you keep your pain pills locked up?Here in NH.We had so many overdose
at home.It is getting very alarming.Addiction begins at home?death continued to mount up and finally getting some needed attention in media
It starts with opiate pain relievers found in many medicine cabinet at home.
Most every home has some type of opiate medicine at home..
Sometimes kids take a risks and do not make good decision.
One thing that we can do is lock up your pain relievers,
We need to keep our kids safe.
Check out your cabinet and see if you have any opiate pain reliever.
They are dying too young.

Luckily we don't have anything strong in our medicine cabinets at the moment.

@amadeo Yes, it is so sad how many people get addicted to those strong medications and how many die from over doses.

I have always kept any medicine we have in our bedroom and not in the bathroom where the kids can get to them.

You won't find pain pills in my home at all. I worked for a company that makes opiods and I sure as heck wouldn't take any.

I don't have any opiates in my house but if I did I would probably keep them under lock & key

I really don't have pain pills, we have Naproxen but that is nothing more than Aleve so nothing anyone would want to overdose on.

I keep all the meds locked in my bathroom mirror because kids can be very curious sometimes

There are no children in our house so we don't keep medicines locked away. But we are very careful with them and they are in cupboards.
