I was a fetanyl addict for over 10 years. Happened by accident after a broken elbow surgery in high school. I graduated high school an addict. The pills became too expensive so i switched to powder. My entire 20's was wasted. Thankfully i decided to get professional help, and my family went all in for me. In May of this year, I'll be sober for 7 years. I have a beautiful son, was able to take over the family business, and life honestly couldn't get any better. I don't consider myself to be any better than these guys. I'm just one of the lucky ones.

[@love2sing20101]

My husband’s cousin got hooked on OxyContin. He was set to go pro for baseball too and was injured hence the meds. He is clean now with a family of his own, but we all had things stolen at times to fund his habit. At my brother-in-law’s wedding he stole some of their gifts too. Mostly the gift cards and money in envelopes. The family stuck by him though and he was in and out of rehab a few times until finally done. They had to put locks on so many things and someone pretty much was always with him to watch him. Mostly when it got REALLY bad. Glad he is so much better now, a nice guy.

I think people miss the point of what harm reduction is supposed yo be. Harn reduction has nothing to do with reducing the amount of people who are using. Harm reduction is aimed towards reducing the amount of people who get diseases and infections from dirty paraphernalia (HIV, Hep C, endocarditis, etc ) so in a way, yes it helps with certain things but i cant say it doesn't help. People will use if they want, whether they have a clean rig or pipe or not.

It’s his life. It’s 100% his responsibility but he is too weak to take the responsibility for his own life. So he projects it onto any and everyone else.

As a man who was once a homeless drug user, this is embarrassing. "hustling" is now is a joke. Walking into a store and taking sh with no consequences? That doesn't require any skill whatsoever. Zero critical thinking involved. I'm not advocating for the "hustle" mindset of a drug addict - but at one time, us heroin addicts were actually smart. I got clean and learned how to use that same hustle mentality I had to go get heroin and use it for the better. Use it and apply it to your health, fitness, education. It can be done.
