Tampa Bay woman shares her overdose survival and recovery story

According to LIVE Tampa Bay, a local non-profit fighting opioid addiction, an average of 30 people die from drug overdoses each week in the Tampa Bay area. Furthermore, it says an average of 34 people in the area are resuscitated from overdoses with Naloxone every single day.
Behind those jarring statistics, there are countless personal stories about addiction, including that of Emily Chomic.
Chomic started using drugs when she was just 13 years old as a way to cope with the untimely death of her sister. The years that followed were marred by arrests, stints in rehab and strained relationships with her family and friends.

It is great to see this young girl fought through her addiction and is here to tell her story. There are so many that aren't here to talk about it along with my beautiful niece. The pain it's continues to have on our family is tragic.
