It’s very bad here in ‘The People’s Republik of Madistan.’ Kids are dropping like flies.
Cheap and easy to get, now that The Law has cracked down on Oxy - which got them hooked in the first place.
Opiates are extrememly addictive. How do I know? Divorced a husband that was hooked and ruined us financially. A total waste of a perfectly fine man. Lost a nephew to heroin. Still not speaking to my stepson until he’s been clean and sober for five full years and EARNS his way back into my life. (He’s running a rehab house now and doing well, so time will tell. Don’t EVER trust a junkie.)
Yep. It sucks. And I’m your average, everyday, boring, middle-class ex-wife & ex-mom who actually paid attention - and this STILL happened to our family; blown to smithereens.
I’m not looking for sympathy. It is what it is. Just use my life as an example because this can happen to anyone that messes with this stuff. Even once.
I dealt with a daughter on meth for 8 years. She is fine now - three years, going to college, working full-time, same boyfriend for almost three years. Lots of prayers, tears, support. I feel for the families. A lot.
I feel sorry for this lady and every body else that has been involved with trying to “CURE” a drug addict. One thing that drugs and drug addicts are good for; “DESTROYING THEIR LIVES, and every one else’s lives that they are involved with. I can tell you what the Singapore government did, when they were confronted with addicts, addicted to “OPIUM”. This was in 1964, Singapore just became a NEW COUNTRY, after being thrown out of the Malaysian group. The new government rented a hotel and put as many of the OPIUM ADDICTS in the hotel. They were supplied with all the opium they wanted. No food, no water, just opium. Within 6 months, there were no more addicts in the Island. Then they passed a law, making illegal drug sale and use a capital crime. Yep, the death penalty. As of today, any one in Singapore that wishes to get high, will put cow manure in a bag, and sniff it. It’s not illegal to sniff cow manure
I am sorry that has happened to your family...but it is not the heroin addiction that really is what has done this devastation. To focus on that in addicts is not going to do it. It is the anger and unforgiveness that compels some weaker souls to try and find an alternative happiness that real love would, and does provide. The fhu.com has that simple pathway, used by so many with real and lasting peace.
Luckily my Aunt, a born again Christian, saved a number of their kids, mostly illegitimate.
Sometimes prayer is all we’ve got.
Just this past week we had a rash of overdoses and 2 deaths, seems they got hold of the mixed with fentanyl? http://www.wtam.com/articles/wtam-local-news-122520/men-arrested-in-tainted-heroin-ods-12132224/
Last fall in November there were 6 DEATHS in one weekend.
