Another peer stolen away by this evil drug, I just don't understand. A young mother, younger than me, she had stayed with my family for a couple months a few years ago. God help my hometown, why has it been so cursed? I've escaped but how many more people that I know are going to die? She was actually in treatment, it's just so sad. Now there is a baby who will never remember its mother, luckily the paternity of the child has been established and it's a friend so hopefully foster care can be avoided since a child should always stay with their family if possible.

This drug has destroyed almost the entire peer group I grew up with, it's an epidemic and it shouldn't be happening. These weren't all stupid people, they weren't bad, nobody deserves to die like that. Sometimes I wonder if I was NT how my life could of went, usually you think about how much better things would be but where I am from I fear what trouble I might of found myself in.

At least you didn't give in to the scourge.

Sorry to hear that Jacoby. Tbh, I've never been around heroin addicts, but we do have meth addicts in my area and I assume the cultures are fairly similar. You're right about one thing, heroin doesn't discriminate-- it'll take down anyone. That's why I mention meth, I've seen meth take down lots of people in my area-- including a local judge. I can empathize.

You know it's bad when they are teaching kids how to inject narcan (which is being sold by Walgreens and CVS otc).

My condolences, better to live with anxieties than die fighting them. I hope you find yourself in a safer place soon.

I am of the opinion if you're stupid enough to take horse, then you deserve to die: No if's and or but's. Of course, I'm accused of having no empathy for the victim. I'm sorry, but I can't empathize with anyone stupid enough to be taking this poison that is NOT under a doctor's care.

I recently saw an article on MSN, which is a news aggregator that serves as a "homepage" for Outlook Mail users who use the web based interface, when they log out they go to MSN, anyway they had an article on there about a 55 year old woman in the middle of nowhere in Oklahoma who died of liver failure because she preferred cheap vodka to reality. She lived with her son, and they shared bottles. Everybody else in Potawatomie (sp?) County is on drugs too, pill poppers and drunks mostly, disabled kids due to genetic damage, and that's just on the Oklahoma prairie.

Life expectancy for Caucasian Americans is dropping like a rock, it's approaching Africa levels for some microdemographics like poor white middle aged women. Ever wonder where the slow leak is that's producing Trump's base, well there it is, white people with no future and no hope, the jobs are long gone, the economy is mainly dope sales and "disability" checks. People get their crazy money and buy a little food and try to stave off the electric co-op with a partial payment, then it's dope and lotto until the money's gone, then to the food bank for the last half of the month. I'm surprised that the whites haven't rebelled yet, maybe they're too wasted to shoot straight. It seems that NT's tend to construct a "strawman world" in their heads because they can't handle reality, and when the illusion is destroyed they go batshit and kill themselves with drugs.
