The heroin demon

[IamFree]

The demon heroin is all powerful . I have been judged guilty by association.
its taken away my home
my family
I still don't know if it will take my life
and I never touched the stuff just someone I knew did

It was my demon that befriended me in a time where life was too much to handle. The more i fought the more hell he raised. Takes two to tango and in time i gained a healthy respect of its deadly power that I have not returned to dancing with this devil.

My view is anyone who uses must have a great deal of pain. Hug dont hate. This drug changes and buries identities if not only bodies.

I can really appreciate all the consequences of this drug & all the misery it creates for everyone it touches - bystanders & all.
I'm hoping you will find a way through this @IamFree.
Thinking of you,

It’s such a horrible epidemic.

I live in a fairly rural area and there is an obituary in the paper every few days for someone that lost their life to heroin (sometimes multiple obituaries a day). You can tell because the families all say to make donations to the same local heroin addiction recovery organization.

It’s just so sad. :(

@IamFree I can relate all to well as the child of an addict. In a way I was fortunate to see enough of the horrors at a young enough age to ever use even though I was surround by it as a teen. All drugs. Traumatized by what I saw, sure, but it kept me from ever going down that path.

I don't know what your relationship is to the addict, but you can't help them. You have to run, run far away from this person, because they will take you down with them if they can. They will hurt you in ways you never would believe possible if they are addicted long enough.

I know it was sad that person I had to run away from was my own mother...she dead now and I still feel like I am trying to escape her

I understand the depths people will go to ease pain. I will never understand the depths they will go and take their kids with them.

Through my long experience with drugs there is some cosmic difference between the people who drink, pill or otherwise, and people who use heroin. Are crack and crystal in the same league? IDK. I was told over and over there was no difference but that never fooled me. I used to say I was a junkie, but I knew I wasn't. Why do some and others just don't?

I had to check and double check to make sure I wasn't the one who posted that. Almost had me wondering if I type that out when I was really out of it from lack of sleep. Nope, you did, but those words could have easily come from my mouth.

I used to struggle with the fact I wasn't worth my mom getting clean for. The truth is, it was never about us. it was about the drugs.
