Drugs

By Stew Kernan

The Sudbury Alcohol and Drug Concerns Coalition is working on getting the word out about addiction and it’s effects.

The coalition invited an inspirational speaker to share his story of prescription drug addiction and recovery to an event at the Caruso Club Tuesday night.

31-year old Chris Cull says a family tragedy led to his six year addiction that was made worse when his family and friends gave up on him.

He says it takes some work, but you can overcome addiction.

Cull bicycled across Canada in 2014 to raise awareness about drug abuse and plans another cross country journey starting next month.
