There are trail names earned on places like the Appalachian Trail. Then there are highway names - bestowed by the motorists who give hitchhikers rides. As the story goes, it was dusk, and a young man was making his way to Idaho to spend quality time with his father. Grab your mashmallows, graham crackers, and a blanket. Pull up a camp chair, because from this day forward, the Hayden's highway name is Campfire. Why? Because wherever he went, people couldn't help but gather to hear him tell, one more story. Hayden, you accidently left your sunglasses in the truck. Email me and i can send them or you can pick them up on your way back through! Alex@Plumbkendall.com Music Sourced from www.Pond5.com  

When I set out to field-test my new Zoom H2 Essential Multi-Mic Handy Recorder (which I can't recommend highly enough), I assumed I was simply going to capture some random audio. Apparently, God had other plans. While riding public transportation from Glenwood Springs to Eagle, Colorado, a ray of sunshine entered my life by the name of Dan. I'll cut to the chase: the world is a better place because of Dan. We need more people like him. Was our meeting a sacred contract, divine destiny, or completely random? It's likely I'll never know. What I do know is that some people leave your life better than they found it, and Dan is one of those people. Godspeed, my friend. We'll be in touch soon.

"NATIONAL CENTER FOR HEALTH RESEARCH: "FDA Updates Black Box Warning for Benzodiazepines" https://www.center4research.org/fda-updates-black-box-warning-for-benzodiazepines/   . The agency warns patients to talk with their healthcare providers in order to develop a plan for safely and slowly tapering off a benzodiazepine.1 . . . Benzodiazepines already have a black box warning, which warns that taking benzodiazepines at the same time as opioids can lead to extreme sedation, slow and ineffective breathing, comas, and even death.6 FDA's 2020 decision keeps this previous warning about combining benzodiazepines with opioids and adds additional warnings about the risks of addiction, as well as dangerous withdrawal symptoms. "https://www.center4research.org/fda-updates-black-box-warning-for-benzodiazepines/   While experiencing the transition from high school to college, John Staight was prescribed alprazolam (i.e. Xanax), a powerful benzodiazepine (benzo). As a responsible patient, John acted in good faith, and took his medication as prescribed.  He trusted the "all-knowing doctors" and mental health professionals with his life. Decades later, at a cliffs edge, his trust in the mental health system would be permanently broken.  Listen in, as John shares how he navigated the heroes' journey and now lives to educate and help others escape the clutches of antidepressants and benzodiazepines.
