And ... The point is??????
drugs, not hugs?
That I should have looked up the suicide stats before posting, I was way off. I wasn't aware that so many suicides were by gun.
People only die of drug use/abuse because they CHOOSE to use drugs. I have more sympathy for people who choose suicide by gun (killing oneself deliberately must spring from some deep inner hurt) than for those who take the crapshoot of drug use and roll snake eyes.
