I wish I could tell Tony thank you. I now understand a little bit about the addicts in my world when before listening to this podcast I understood nothing. Understanding produces empathy. Through his willingness to tell this story, he has impacted more people positively than he ever did negatively. You’ve tipped the scales Tony.

Good luck to Tony, Connor and everyone affected by addiction to prescription drugs. Good podcast.

This has been one of the best things I’ve listened too. I really wish Tony Hathaway and his family all the very best life can give them after all they have endured. Amazing people and the true bond they had kept them alive.

addictions usually starts innocently, an injury, curiosity. everyone thinks it's not a problem and they can stop when the want, until they try to stop and realize they can't. eventually the addiction take everything you have and everything you can get some times it takes your life...sad.
