Death

[t_nuh_had_nuf]

I'm sure that many of us on this site that have been addicted to pills have had friends that are addicts that have not been able to stop and have paid the utlimate price. i'm 68 days clean from methadone and a 15 year opiate addiction.In the past 60 days i have buried 2 of my friends. Both died "pill related" deaths. Both had kids the same age as mine. The childrens grief is almost too much to handle. Death is a very real possibility when you are using---both friends just dropped- normal one second -gone the next. I hope I can reverse the harm these pills have done to my body. Praying for all of us!

Omg. Just got chills. I think all the time 'I wonder if anyone would notice if anyone/me stopped posting because they died'. I'm sure there are plenty that no1 knows about. Makes me want to stop all that more. I just wish I cld be SRRONG

We have seen people on this forum pass away from addiction also.  It is very tragic and so very sad.  None of us have to be a statistic.  Make you the No1 priority and hold that clean time the most sacred thing you have~~~sara

Thanks for your post. I can relate to the grief. My mom passed from her addiction Xmas day 2007. I did not become an addict myself until after her death. But here I am. The difference is that I WILL beat my demons before they beat me.
