TweetGive it a second thought for yourself and your family. Some of you guys here know about everything I went through with my ex wife and her addiction and attempted suicide and this past week, my buddy went through somthing very similar.
His ex wife (been divorce for about 5 yrs or so now) has been into the pills and what not for quite some time, but like most folks thought she could control it. Well over this past weekend, she was at death's door. She was on whatever and a couple of her so called "friends" were over and one of them gave her what they claim was a half of a loracet. I call bullshiot on that one, the rumor is it was oxycontin. Anyway, the ****tail was too much for her. Her liver shut down, kidneys shut down and she was placed on a vent. Her children were absolutely devasted and plenty old enough to understand what happened. She is still in ICU, but slowly recovering and time will tell how much permanent damage was done.
I know that some of you like to party and enjoy the pills but please for your sake, your families sake and your children (if you have any) cut it out. We all have our vices and do what we know isn't exactly beneficial to our health, but things can spiral out of control before you even know it's gotten that far. Once that line is crossed, you're stuck. We've all lost or at the very least known people who've lost loved ones due to this very thing. If you're a true friend and know of someone heading down that path, man up and tell em. If they get pissed, so fukkin what? If you yourself are heading down that path, then take a look at your family. Ask youself why am I doin this? If it stems from depression then stop trying to self medicate the symptoms and take steps towards a cure.
I don't mean to sound like a public service announcement, but this is just something that destroys so many families. Just be careful, be smart.
