If your eyes are open and your ears are listening, you know that opioid bullets are flying everywhere.
The opioid epidemic is here and growing. What would happen if every day a plane crashed with 200 passengers on it? All dead. Every day. Would there be an uproar? You bet there would be. YES, America … we have a crisis!

If your eyes are open and your ears are listening, you know that opioid bullets are flying everywhere.
The opioid epidemic is here and growing. What would happen if every day a plane crashed with 200 passengers on it? All dead. Every day. Would there be an uproar? You bet there would be. YES, America … we have a crisis!
Every individual who succumbs to opioids creates a twisting tornado that impacts seven other people every day. Families and relationships are splintered; work is destroyed; and personal health is threatened. Addiction isn’t about one person.
Scott H. Silverman asks in The Opioid Epidemic: What You Don’t Know Will Destroy Your Family and Your Life the question: Where is the outrage?
You will discover:
How simple greed, corruption, and cowardice created a monster.
Telltale signs that someone is addicted.
Why the teenage mind is more vulnerable.
How to talk to a loved one who might be suffering with addiction.
How to overcome the stigma of addiction and shame.
Addiction prevents a happy, joyous, healthy life if gone untreated. Here’s what there is: There is help. There is hope. There is treatment.
Addiction is a killer disease that is totally treatable. It starts with you. -

Part memoir, part how-to, Tell Me No I Dare You! is 100% inspiration. The book takes the reader on a joyful ride infused with laugh-out-loud humor, accounts that bring tears of sorrow and the promise of hope. It leaves one with the desire to meet the author, look in his eyes and shout, “Go ahead, tell me no. I dare you!”
Tell Me No. I Dare You! is the story of a young boy, who began the path of self destruction and rebellion before he was in high school. As the path grew it became littered with drug and alcohol addiction, crazy dare devil risks, attempted suicide and an inner knowing that somewhere he could locate the yes that labels, institutions, and his own beliefs attempted to obliterate. Somewhere he could find the hero he was meant to be.
Through the streets of Turkey, Israel, Amsterdam and the deserts of southern California the story is told of how one man found the courage to live up to his highest potential and live from a place of inner confidence not shame. Connect to the hero within as you take on the challenge to turn the no’s that suffocate your life and turn them into action filled yes’s! This inspiring book will encourage you to achieve success, make the needed changes that are limiting you and become a hero in your own life!
