This site is dedicated to the memory of Bradley Peake who died from a fatal combination of prescription drugs (xanax, rivotril & oxy-contin) on the 20th July 2006. Brad had a long history of poly-drug use. His drugs of choice varied over the years from alcohol, marijuana, amphetamines, heroin and prescription medication - often being a combination at once. Brad served many years in jail for drug-related offenses that funded his addiction. He had only been released from prison for 3 days before he took his last breath. Unfortunately, his story is not uncommon.
The aim of this site is to give Brad's family and friends a place to visit him, to cheerish their memories of a Brad that was loved and to give them a place to grieve. It is also a place where they can express the loss, hurt, anger and emotional pain that having a relative with a severe mental illness can cause. Hopefully, other families in a similar situation can learn that their feelings are normal and we can break down the stigma associated with drug addiciton and mental illness that only acts to isolate many families.
The site intends to give people insite into the life of someone with an addiction and the personal toll that this addiction can cause for them. For my brother, it was jail. This is reflected in his poems, letters and song choices. His life, as is every person with an addiction, is still worthwhile. Drugs do not descriminate, they affect all walks of life. Use this site to teach Brad's life lesson to your children and loved ones.
It aims to provide information on drug addiction to answer the question of 'why' a young man with so much potential and love from his family could turn to drugs. And it will provide information on where to get help for those with similar problems.
The content of this site is being developed by Brad's sister, Julie-Anne and his 13 y.o. niece, Amy. It is still under construction, so please save it to your desktop and come back regularly to see what else has been added.
