Monday afternoon, students and faculty at Pikeville High School got their first look at an initiative designed by a group of students to tackle the local opioid addiction crisis called the Empty Chair Project. They are no longer in our lives at the dining room table. They are no longer in our lives in the classroom. They're no longer in our lives anywhere. And so there's that empty chair that's left when addiction has them taken them away from their real life. In addition to hearing from several speakers, the students unveiled a new app with local resources for anyone wanting help with addiction. Students were also asked to use a special Snapchat filter as well as posting to social media to spread the word about the Empty Chair Project. And that's what today was all about. Giving people tools, giving people information so that somebody else does not become a statistic. One of the speakers was Carl Varney, an eight-year recovering addict who shared his story which began in junior high school with alcohol and marijuana use and ended with him becoming a drug dealer to feed his addiction. And what happens is that you have a line and you kind of draw this line in your own mind and your heart and you're like, I'm not going to cross that boundary. But then as soon as you cross it, there's not really any going back to saying, well, I'm never going to do that again because you just did it. Varney told the students at Pikeville that their generation has the power to end the drug abuse epidemic. They've got a two-year-old and a seven-month-old and so they're watching these kids. So for my own family's sake, I need these young people to make the right decisions because they're the ones that can say enough is enough. The free Empty Chair Project app is available for both Android and iPhones and more information can be found on social media. In Pikeville, I'm Shannon Deskins, EKB News.
