I’m a 17 year old kid who’s never been addicted to drugs, but my mother and father have. My father gave up a nasty drug addiction that was super self destructive before I was born. But my mom is still in that horrible life, and she’s hurt and burned so many people who love her. It hurts and I’m praying she finds the strength to get better, but I’m losing hope. Omaha is my home but it’s so stricken with this disease. My dad is now 21 years sober, and counting. Stay strong guys

My mom just passed away last September. Overdose, I’m the one who walked in on her. I was 20, and a month before that my ex girlfriend of 5 years was r**ped by her own father. So thankful for my dad and him being sober and supportive. I gave up on my mom a year before she past, I remember having dealt with her addiction since I was 4 years old. Started as an alcoholic, and continued to spiral. Get her help. Yell at her, take her somewhere by force, do whatever you can. I have destroyed emotionally since, and I don’t feel like I’ll ever be able to smile the way I used to. Good luck to you. Stay strong.

I agree alcoholism is bad but it definitely incomparable to these hard core drugs .

[@kacper.6537]

Alcohol addiction is bad, but the amount of alcohol to kill you is so large that in 99% of scenarios you pass out before even reaching half of the lethal dose, also yeah alcohol is addictive but its probably not going to get you addicted if you dont have any psychological/physical conditions. I drink alcohol rarely and when i do i drink strong alcohol (at least 40% vodka, but i prefer 60-70% polish homemade bimber) and I do not even think about drinking alcohol unless its some kind of family/friends party/celebration which is a national tradition to drink

[@NicksGoCrazy]

Fuck alcohol my last straw was when I was depressed beyond measures everyday drank a fifth until one day got some bad news chugged a half gallon of fireball and it made me violent that was it for me I’ll never do something that changes me into a aggressive person alcohol is horrible just hope my dad finally quits

I'm a veteran of the Iraq/Afghanistan wars, who transitioned into being a Fire Medic as a civilian. Ended up injured in a fire which aggravated injuries from war. I was prescribed Oxycodone 30mg. I was hooked within a week. Swallowing turned to snorting, then to shooting eventually doing upwards of 15+ a day on days off, and just enough not to be sick while at work. Eventually it all caught up to me. Spent 3 years in prison and decided to end a 5 year drug battle. 9/12/12 is my sober date. Anything is possible if you really want it. Now married, a home owner, and a beautiful child. Please get help if you're suffering!

When I watch American episodes, I notice that key characters in the show often do drugs (mainly the soft ones) blatantly and underplay its consequences as if doing drugs is a not committing a serious crime and they can quit whenever they want. Back in China, we are educated from a very young age that a taste of drug could throw our lives into an irreversable abyss with no way to return. It often startles me that your media show such a tolerance towards drug abuse, which, from my perspective, is noxious to the teenagers.

By the grace of God I’m still here and almost 8 years sober. I definitely agree that addiction stems from unresolved childhood trauma or just trauma in general. It’s essentially an escape from reality but it will ruin your life trust me. Maintaining my addiction turned into a full time job, it was all I ever thought about. Please don’t mess around with this crap, it’s NOT worth it! Don’t be like me and think that you have control and can quit whenever you want, it doesn’t work like that! Addiction doesn’t discriminate, it can happen to anyone, don’t be like me and assume that you’re above it because you’re not! If you’re dealing with trauma please seek help & therapy before it overtakes your life. There’s resources out there you just need to look & please don’t be too proud or too afraid to ask for help ❤

Okay, so this is really wrong (THIS IS NOT FENTANYL!) ... It's not Fentanyl, for one it's carfentanil if it's on the streets. Two, there's no clean or pure fentanyl left in the USA, not even benzo-fent which is fairly dangerous... but what the USA has is 99% tranq-fent. It's animal tranquilizer and krokodil IE fentanyl and eye drops. There's no clean fentanyl left, it's all dirty. That's why the US is having this crisis, don't blame fentanyl, which is used safely by the rest of the world. Blame the dealers being so fucking greedy they don't mind killing the customer the first time they use, and even if they don't die it's so fucking harmful you can't use it for more than a few months without becoming hopelessly destroyed. The US has a problem MUCH WORSE than regular street fentanyl, like the rest of the world. Why? Greed.

na people are lacing drugs iwth fentanyl because they know how addicting the shit is. all opiates are super fuckin addicting. if you dont know or never been addicted / know what addiction is even like. try some opiates start taking 5mg norcos for a bit. move up to 10 mgs after a while your brain gets used to that an you take more n more to chase that first euphoric high. soon you realize youre taking 10 pills / 100mg a day. which is easy to get to you can get there within months. but then youll start realizing fuck, the tylenol in those 10 pills which =s 3000+ mg will fry your liver before the actual drug part kills you... so you start taking the blues. real blues / Mbox30s from the pharma are 30mg oxy. no tylenol in them. just straight oxy. boom start takin those then youll get used to those keep in mind. those fuckin pills the real 30s cost 60$ a fuckin pop. depending wehre you are. unless youre making guap you aint gonna last long an be broke so then youre like well where can i get most bang for your buck. start smokin heroin which is cheaper. NOW heroin aint even around. when was last time u heard heroin killin poeple?.. so then youre like ok ima try the blues which cost 1-5$ depending on bulk prices. exc. then your busting up pills snorting tiny lines cause you dont wanna od. or people even smoke em... an when youre done getting to that point. jump off cold turkey. you wouldnt last 24 hrs. youll be in shitting n pissing, and throwing up all at the same time. all that fake pain you masked over the years is gonna come back 100x worse in your lower back. youre brain is fuckin comlpete mush after . an the first 2 weeks you aint gonna wink of sleep. after day 4 of no sleep youre gonna be in almost a psychosis state iof mind. seein an hearing shit.. you flip n flop in bed , you have whats called restless leg syndrome where you kick all night. literally ur legs kick kick kick all night rub back n forth until the skin in between your knees is raw / gone from kicking an rubbing your legs together.. you aint gonna eat, you aint gonna even wanna get up to take a shower, brush ur teeth. NOTHING. FOR WEEKS. the withdrawal from opiates is so fuckin severe you almost cant even stand it.. sso would u wanna go through hell for 2 weeks or put up 5$ to go get another pill an stay "well" once youre on fentanyl it gets to the point where nothing else is gonna top it. its too strong. an being that youre brains re wired to NEED THOSE DRUGS. you dont get high anymore.. you need those pills just to even function / be normal.. when i had covid that shit was a fuckin walk in the park compared to opiate withdrawal.. the stomach pains is worse. literally feels like a fuckin hot knife in your stomach where ur rolling on the floor in so much pain its unbearable. throwing up straight yellow bile for hours like 10 hrs straight. id rather die then experinece that shit.. sweatin youre ass off, freezing one minute hot asf the next your sweat even smells like a metallic fuckin chemical from your body purgin that shit out...

I've lived in omaha my whole life, born and raised, and I smoke a lot of weed. I started smoking weed to help with my chronic pain, and now I get high daily. Even though I'm a heavy user of marijuana, I have no desire to even try other drugs, and I've been offered cocaine multiple times, but I understand the allure of more powerful drugs especially with how cheep and accessible they are. Seeing neighborhoods get overrun by fentanyl is such a depressing sight, and it's truly heartbreaking.

Okay, so this is really wrong (THIS IS NOT FENTANYL!) ... It's not Fentanyl, for one it's carfentanil if it's on the streets. Two, there's no clean or pure fentanyl left in the USA, not even benzo-fent which is fairly dangerous... but what the USA has is 99% tranq-fent. It's animal tranquilizer and krokodil IE fentanyl and eye drops. There's no clean fentanyl left, it's all dirty. That's why the US is having this crisis, don't blame fentanyl, which is used safely by the rest of the world. Blame the dealers being so fucking greedy they don't mind killing the customer the first time they use, and even if they don't die it's so fucking harmful you can't use it for more than a few months without becoming hopelessly destroyed. The US has a problem MUCH WORSE than regular street fentanyl, like the rest of the world. Why? Greed.

[@HurpMuhGurp]

4:40 by the way just so you know this clip is widely controversial, a lot of medical experts say that there is no way that he could have started to overdose from fentanyl that quickly, and with how he was around it. The majority consensus was is he had a major panic attack probably from thinking that he had poisoned himself. A lot of the clips you'll see a police officers "overdosing" on fentanyl are generally them having panic attacks, and the symptoms they show aren't in line with what an opiate overdose would look like. If anyone was curious I'd watch Skip Intro's video on "What cop shows get wrong about fentanyl". It busts a lot of myth that people have towards the substance

[@devino1337]

That’s something I’ve noticed too. I’ve given people narcan who have OD’d on fent multiple times and every time I’ve seen a video of a police officer I was thinking to myself no way that’s an overdose, he probably just thought he was going to and started panicking

[@accuratebrickinnovations]

A federal agent told me a few months ago that he lost a fellow officer because the person puffed a bag of fentanyl at the officer and he died from that.

Fentanyl is now in heroin here in the UK.

[@downsouth00]

My dad was prescribed opiates for his back in the 90s. His doc told him there was nothing to worry about, they are safe and completely non addictive. Getting 90 a month he inevitably got addicted. It is so obvious to any health professional that these pills are clearly addictive. And any professional especially a Dr who said those were non addictive and prescribed to patients is absolutely just as bad as any drug dealer. If not worse bc at least most drug dealers are desperate. A Dr would be fine without getting people addicted and ruining lives, but they are just that greedy. And I remember they said the crazy influx of opiates were coming from Asia. Came out that was a complete lie, it was coming from American pharmaceutical companies. I believe a similar thing is going on with fentanyl. Same story different day.
