It sucks to see marijuana and heroin mentioned in the same post. I agree that this chaotic world may lead a lot of us down the path of state altering mind expansion. I think people should have he right to enjoy their life as long as it does not interfere with the well being and safety of others.
It does however seem slightly less repulsive to think of myself hanging out on my deck smoking a borrito than injecting a syringe filled with spit and opiates into my ass. I am not talking down to anyone who may be reading this and using. I wish you all the help in the world. I lost a very talented friend and have seen a lot of people I knew suffering due to addiction.
It's pretty scary for people who know a junky. Imagine the fear confusion and desperation they may be experiencing. More often than not they were good people who made some bad decisions and were rewarded with a deathly addiction. We all have our habits, I just try to avoid those with DEATH as a possible side effect.

On Thursday night, volunteer firemen were out in a quiet Hollidaysburg neighborhood searching for a 3-year old. The parents had come home and found the 19-year-old babysitter passed out with a needle in her arm and the toddler gone. Fortunately, the kid was found, unharmed a block away.
I wonder how many times a day this kind of story gets swept under the rug?

Too many times Lonewolf.
If this dickbag taskforce wasn't so worried about busting every pot smoker in blair county, They might just do something about it.
But until then the only drug dealers that get busted will be by accident, like they get pulled over and find a bunch of heroin. Then Randy Feathers is a fucking hero. I don't get it.
Fucking weak ass people should all O.D. anyways.
I have no sympathy cuz they made a bad choice. In every situation you can do the right or wrong thing, you know what the fuck you're doing.
If you have any sympathy for these cock suckers feel bad for me and reach deep down in your pockets and wallets and purses and give me your money cuz I made some bad decisions at the bar and the race track and the poker table. Now I've got this disease and I can't fucking shake it.
Bitch Please, cancer is a disease, aids is a disease, addiction is like you signed up for the Down syndrome waiting list. Give me a fucking break.
If I offended any addicts recovering or otherwise so be it you know what you did, fix it.

My son's mother at 27 years old died on the 20th of last month from a overdose.....I should have done more to try to help but you can't hold them hostage. All I can do now is take on the resposibility as a dad. The best advice after going through this is....Make them listen...do anything and everything to help or get them help. If I would have done more....it might have been different.

That's called bargaining, and it's a stage of grief. You'll have a few more stages to deal with.
Yeah, you should grieve, but don't spend anymore time placing blame on yourself. That sh*t trumps love of every kind. Doesn't matter if you were her husband, boyfriend, dad, son, friend, lover, or casual aquaintance, she would not have listened, and you're not to blame, even if someone else tries to rationalize the OD by pointing fingers at someone other than the junkie.
I've had zillions of chances in my life to make really bad decisions about drugs. There was a time when musicians seldom had to pay for drugs or alcohol. I've made a few minor "bad choices." I live with the fallout of those choices, and I'm grown-up enough to accept responsibility. There was no gun to my head. Johnny did it.
I'm sad for your son, but not for his mom. She chose her path over everything else.
Stay close to your son, he'll need you a lot, and holler if you need us.-------------------->JMS

You could not have done anything different. It was not your choice man. Don't you take even a small dose of blame for what she had done. Unless you injected her with the crap. You can not make them listen. You can not make them get help. Its all in their hands.....I sit here day after day..wondering if my step-daughter will be back in jail, or killed someone because of her choices, or killed herself. All we can do is not enable her in her decisions. You have no ideal how hard tough love is until you have to dish it out.subimeman wrote:My son's mother at 27 years old died on the 20th of last month from a overdose.....I should have done more to try to help but you can't hold them hostage.

Take care of your children and be the best dad you can to them. Talk to them openly about what happened and let it be a life lesson for them. Don't let her decisions and life be in vain....She would not want her children to follow in her footsteps.

None of us has the ability to control another person or their actions. That's a sad reality. One thing I truly believe is that most addictions start in the very core of a person's being when they are very young...in feeling they aren't worthy of a better life, worthy of being loved and cared for...so they end up finding relief from reality or their pain in substance abuse.
Parents...tell your kids daily that you love them and show them in your actions. Remind them that they are worthy of being loved and that their life is important. Let them know they matter.
We can fight the drug war on the streets, but the cure starts at home in good parenting and paying attention to our kids.
Subimeman - I am so sorry for your loss and I can't imagine what you are facing with your son...you are both in my prayers.

Hey, drug addiction knows no class, no family background, no race, no religion, nothing. A family who is full of love and expresses it each and every day may still find itself in the mist of drug addiction. Although I agree that parents should express their love each and every day, I just hate to hear someone think that this will prevent drug addiction.
Even the best of parents will be tested. Sure, I will agree that it may slim the chances, but it will not prevent. Education on drug addiction from an early age, may prevent. But even that is not a guarantee.
Paying attention to our children will help tons and tons against the battle of addiction because a parent who pays attention, may catch the addiction before it gets out of hand. We think back many many years and wish that we would have caught the addiction before our minor turned 15, 16, 17, or 18....but once they are 18, there isn't much we as parents can do. But sometimes the addiction never rears its ugly head until your child is a young adult making their own choices.
