Good luck, man.Whatever addiction you have, I'm sending you good vibes to overcome.Use all the resources: websites, Anonymous groups (which are great, btw), detox/rehab...You may not get it the first time, but eventually your life will dramatically improve in ways you can't imagine.Unless of course, your use isn't negatively impacting your life at all. Then it's not really addiction, is it? :PAnd don't listen to assh**es like the other guy...you use a substance, and it doesn't mean s**t about what your political beliefs are, other than providing firsthand experience to inform opinions like that one.
Can anyone translate the German (?) phrase about AIDS that is on his bathroom mirror? The words aren't clear enough for me to put into a translator, but maybe a native speaker will recognize them?
I know someone who went down that path. I won't pass the story here. Most of the friends don't want to talk about it. After all this time I'm still in shock, somewhere inside. The hardest thing is to explain to my kids when they ask questions, and the borderline between slowly bringing the truth to light and scaring them with the hard, cold facts. It's a razor's edge.Kids, man. Kids. You try to explain it to them, where someone went that was a part of their life. And explanations on why you kept them away from it. What to say and what not to say. You want to pour it all to them. The smells, the sights, the sorrow that will never leave. That never can be forgotten. You'd do anything to make sure they don't make that same mistake.f**k, these pictures depressed me. Not the final ones, but the ones where he was around and people were happy.
That's so sad...Why would a happy person with a family start doing that?You must be really naive if you don't know the consequences of starting with heroïne.
