I did the NYS training and have been carrying it for a couple years. They didn't have it for free due to the pandemic but they should again now that they're doing in person training again. I work in theater and comedy a bit and have multiple friends who are recovering addicts. I let folks there and in my apt building know that I keep it on me as part of my first aid stuff. I hope I never have to use it, but I'm glad I'm prepared if it's needed.

That's really awesome of you. I work in nightlife occasionally, and I keep a few doses with me (graciously provided from a local mutual aid network). The events I work with almost always have some stashed in their first aid as well. It's a sad thing to have to plan for, but it's really nice to work with folks who take overdoses seriously.

That's awesome of you, too! It's sad that it's needed, but I'm glad it exists. And here's hoping we never need it.
