Which of your friends died from herion?

The most recent was guy named Gary, who was probably one of the most talented artists I ever met in my life, Herion totally destroyed him. He was 42 years old when he died.

My very best friend during my early 20's, Ed Hoey was found dead of an overdose on his living room sofa by his kids ten years ago. He was 40.

George Sutton who I got high with since a teenager died around 2 years ago..he was not only a herion addict but he contracted AIDS from dirty needles.

My friend and room-mate in Miami Beach, Alfred Randel who got busted copping crack with me and refused to go through the drug treatment program (that helped me quit) kept smoking crack and died a year later.

Gia Carangi who was the #1 super model of the late 70's who used to frequent clubs in Philly that I went to, who I never met personally but know somebody who met her in rehab was a heroin addict. She was one of the first women to die of AIDS. That was in 1986. She was absolutely beautiful and herion destroyed her life.

I could go on an on about the people I have known who are now dead from drugs.

I started doing drugs at 15 years old, was living on the streets by the time I was 16 and battled addictions nearly all my life.

Define "herion." You've used that word in every post about illicit drugs. I want to know what you think "herion" is. Tell me how to pronounce it.

I have never known anyone addicted to "herion" by the way.
