TIm, Shelby, Lonote, grievingwidow, calijen, tzt, emilyanne, hope, marc, yodes...how are you???

Hey Guys....how is everyone? I miss you all so much. I haven't been on because a dear friend of mine passed away last night. He overdosed on Oxy-Contin and we have been up the hospital with him as he was on life support, until last night, when his parents decided that it was enough. Anyway, this is the 7th person that I was close to that dies from some sort of drug related problem. Including my husband. This is crazy and when will it end. The first out of the  7 was a 13 year old girl, who got caught up in Oxy's and Zanax, she was found in her room, after she had choked in her sleep from her own vomet....horrible...ugh....when does it end....so sad, so very sad....

I am sorry for being debbie downer....but I had to vent. I hope all are well.....

Love you all...

xo, Lisa

It is such a shame and such a waste of a precious life. We can never express what we really feel when a friend is hurting. To lose someone, even those we barely know, leaves a void in this world. Nothing speaks more loudly than to hear of a death through drugs, and when that death is that of a friend, it is even louder. Sometimes the weight becomes so heavy that it is all we can do to survive. It is unfortunate that it has to take a tragedy like this to wake some of us up as darienguy just pointed out in his sudden self reflection. This being said. Please accept my deepest sympathy and condoleneces for your loss. There are many here as the reponses have shown, that care about what you are feeling at this time. You can count me as one of them. Stay strong.

Good lord, 28!!   My daughter is 27 so my gosh, to me that is soooooo  young.   So sad too.  You know at NA meetings they do a moment of silence for all the addicts who still suffer and also those who didn't make it.

Hi dear.  Wow, that news makes one think, doesn't it?  Scary, scary and just think, we were playing with fire ourselves.  Did you get my message that I know nada about the Master Cleanse?  Sorry I couldn't be of more help.  I wish I could go with you to Key West!  It's a great place to have a vacation!
Love,
Yodes

I'm good. I've decided to quit complaining for a while cause when I look at others problems, mine seem so small. Yes outside of a couple urges to get high, things are going very well. I guess the anti depressants are working.

Thanks honey...It is so sad, and yes, such a waste. He was a good guy, but an addict for as long as Ive known him, not that it made him a bad person. But there was really no helping him.

How have you been feeling TIm? I hope better. I am feeling a little tired today, and have a bad toothache. SO, that sucks, but other then that, I am good. Hope you are well...Miss you...

xoxo, Lisa

Thats the kind of thing that can happen, and when it does so many people are affected by it. Again hon, i'm so sorry. It  was a horrible evening for you. As bad as it gets.   (((((((((((cathy-lisa))))))))))))))
