I wonder if this Walmart allows truck parking

Like I said I lost my compassion for people like this who make a choice to drugs and throw their life away. I watched cancer eat my mother alive as she cherished every last moment she could with us as the pain got worse and worse. And you have the ####ing nerve to tell me I should have compassion for some stupid ##### who chose to shoot heroin instead of living her life?

I don't think so. Homie don't play that.

 

@Cranky Yankee . . . i'm so sorry. I've been through it with family members as well. No fun, no joke. And the "cure-all" for addiction that sub #### is actually MORE addictive than the first drugs themselves.

 

All sorry excuses, drug addicts and there enablers love excuses and justifications for their terrible choices. There is no good reason to do heroin, meth, crack........

 

Having lived it too, I'm team @PackRatTDI on this on. Addiction is a 'disease' in the way it, over time, changes the way a persons brain chemistry. It's not a medical condition like syphilis or schizophrenia. You don't accidentally contract addiction from a wild night of unprotected partying and you don't wake up one morning unable to understand why you're a junkie.

Condolences to the family of the deceased and may she find the peace on death she lost in life....

But it was the consequences of choices.

 

I spent 8 years of my life addicted to heroin so save your BS. I'm grateful that my family helped me and encouraged me to get well (without enabling me) instead of wishing for my death. I hope your son, for his sake, has cut you out of his life because you're a hindrance to any chance he has at recovery.

 

It's not contracted, it's congenital. You're born with it or you're not.

I had a shoulder operation when I was 16. The doctor prescribed me a legal pain killer after the operation. The very first one I took, it was like I felt a switch in my brain being thrown. By day two I was taking 6 at a time. I had lost all control and I had no choice from that point on. Someone had to teach me how to keep those demons in my head in check. Now that I know what I must do, I do have a choice and there is no longer an excuse for me. It's still a struggle on many days but I've been clean since '08 after 12 years of active addiction (8 of that on the needle).

 

Gene Hackman wrote "Escape From Andersonville" it was fairly good but taught me a great life lesson.

To this girls friends and family, her life and death meant a lot.
The people I know and care about, their life or deaths matter to me.
And if someone I don't know dies, it's really doesn't affect me.

And we all watch the planes hitting the Towers and think it's a great video. Yet the few who lost loved ones, they'll think differently than me

 

It runs in my family as well, and much respect to you for sharing your story. Glad you found your way out. Your case, in my opinion, is an exception. You really didn't know until it was too late. Opiates are a helluva hook. Unfortunately, due to the way doctors pushed oxy and the like when they first came out, there are way too many cases like yours. It's a sad, sad situation.

 

I am glad you

I am glad you got off the needle. I am a trained drug counselor so nothing surprises me and my knowledge is fact based and family based from the other end.
You watch your wife buy and snort oxy's she buys from her son so he can get on the needle
you drive around out here and spend $100000 on treatment for them both
Then you tell me I am full of BS
save your bleeding heart for yourself when it is one of yours instead of you

 

I'm glad your over it, and I wish you the best. But you chose to take handfuls of pills, instead of 1, you chose to upgrade to heroin, you chose to shoot up, all your choices. You can't claim to be addicted after 1 pill, that is bs. You can not be physically addicted that fast. At that point it is mental, you control your mind. Mental addiction can be overcome by will power, once it is physical addiction your screwed.
