How easy it can happen

I recently just lost a good friend to an accidental overdose of methadone/xanax/klonopin, this person had been taking methadone for many years due to a major car accident. Just want to remind those out there that are mixing opiates and benzo's just how fine that line is between your high or dying. My buddy had just had twin boys 8 days before his OD, I feel so bad for his girlfriend and family. Again I just wanted to remind people how easy an accidental overdose can happen while using multiple CNS depressants, it can happen to anyone. For all those who are still using, or end up relapsing, please please try to remember to be safe, these drugs are not worth it. Take Care Everyone!

I am so sorry to hear about your loss......this is always so tragic.

We just had 2 deaths due to overdose in my town 2 weeks ago.  One had just came out of rehab and started using again and ended up suffocating and the other guy was shooting up and his heart just had enough......this is the cold hard facts of this addiction......Life is so very prescious.....sara

Life is so precious and to know it can end in just a matter of seconds.  It is so scarey out there when mixing etoh, drugs, and more drugs.  There are also the many people who take their own lives as they are so depressed, remorseful, unable to see the good in themseves, and not having any friends or family to confide in. Some will reach out but there are others that will joke around about their depression.  May we all have the patience, love and tolerance to give that helping hand rather then turning that cold shoulder. May God bless each and every one of us.  I pray for the strength to reach out to others to give that helping hand and to be strong enough to reach up for that helping hand when I am down.  julia
