And drugs that are combined with alcohol at holiday gatherings can be particularly risky.

Call 911.That is the extent of the help that I am able to risk, without being beaten to a pulp by somebody who is under a drug hallucination.

When I want to get high I listen to a few songs I like.
There, that is your high.
I hope you enjoyed it.
A lot of people think that every single minute must be a party and abuse drugs to achieve that nirvana.
At times I am like... I need to be bored stiff.

Sometimes you can't always tell. I worked a job where the guy who sat in the next cubicle was a heroin junkie. I had no idea. Eventually he stopped coming to work.
"What happened to Tom?"
"He's in rehab for heroin."
At work every day he acted normal and lucid.

The signs are everywhere, in pretty much every city and town... They're pretty easy to identify.

You're taking your life into your hands trying to do anything else.
