Another overdose from my area. I knew the guy but hadn't seen him since a meeting we were both at a few years ago. My brother was good friends with his brother until he had to cut ties. He died on Friday and his brother found him, wasn't his first OD, but his last.
Didn't know the person, but was talking to a friend today. Some family on his wife's side was dead. Hit her with the narcan stuff. She was at a Labor Day picnic 8hrs later. This crap is making it's way around. We will all know someone affected soon enough. Wish I had a solution. Sorry to read about your friend Chad. I guess that is a good reminder to stay sober for you. Stuff can slip away fast once someone lapses. I suppose it is a matter of time before my brother in law falls victim.
He wasn't what I would call a friend really, never hung out with him. I would see him around during my drinking days and then at a meeting here and there. He was always cool to me whenever I would run into him and apparently he was trying to get sober but that is some powerful stuff.
I wonder what a person feels like after overdosing and then getting a shot of narcan. I guess good enough to hit up a picnic 8 hours later. I would think a person would feel half comatose.
Like i have posted before the wife is a nurse in our local er, she has had them brought in as od and they give them a shot of narcan,
They come to and actuilly get mad for loosing their high.
Guys I really hate the way I feel about some of this, for a lot of patients they got hooked on narcs thru pain, That I feel sorrow,
Then you have (hate to put it like this) the low lifes that don;t give a damn about anything but themselves, They are the ones that comes around seeking drugs.
A little history about why I feel this way, I'm under a law suit because one of the guys that works under me partied all weekend without my knowledge feel asleep, while driving my truck,
crossed center killed two people. So it;s a little hard to sypathize with the ones that don;t care.
Sorry for the rant.
Wow jlane!!!! So sorry that the families of the ones he killed and you and your family have to go through this loss and financial headache because of this employee of yours! SMH
May the two he killed RIP.....so sad!
One of my supervisors got sideswiped on his way to work by a driver of a high speed erratic car that hit several other cars and the inside concrete barrier along the interstate last week. The driver was bouncing back and forth from barrier to whomever was driving in the highspeed Lane like a pinball not slowing down or stopping. It was suspected another heroin OD driver. Don't know if they ever caught him or not.

I have mixed feelings as well. Easy to say what I would do in their shoes. I'm sure it isn't easy. Then again, there are lowlifes who will use anything to get high. This includes using the system. Hard to have compassion for that. It would truly suck to be in your situation Jlane. With employees driving my equipment, this is always a fear. Not necessarily them driving high or drunk, just them driving your equipment and the liability associated is stressful. I hope it works out for you. RIP to the victims and their families.

This is why I have little to no sympathy for addicts.... Sorry, I don't. It isn't that what they are doing only effects them. It ruins families, kills innocent people, etc. The addict is the last person I'm concerned with. I even feel bad for the poor bastard that has his lawn mower or coils from his air conditioner stolen to feed the addicts habit. The addict? Least of my concerns. Call me a dick, I don't care.

What I think some of you fail to understand is that it's not the actual person but the drug that are making these addicts do these things. I liked to fight when I got drunk. Haven't been in a fight in 5 years, unless you count the time I had to knock my cousin out about a year ago when he was hammered and giving my parents a hard time.

What some fail to understand is it gets freaking old hearing how someone "struggled" with addiction. I struggle with sobriety. Who gives a shit. We all have our own crosses to bare, it so happens, some chose to add to the weight of their cross. The real problem comes in that those who choose that route have added enough weight to their cross that they expect others to help bare it. You're a drug addict, fuck you. Leave me and my shit alone, and stay the hell away from my kids or I'll bury your scabby ass in a shallow hole. Personally, I'm sick of this victim bullshit. I'm also sick of these fuckers stealing everything that isn't nailed down.
I saw a thing on FB the other day that put things in perspective for me. Essentially it pointed out that an epipen is now 300/per stick. Fucking Narcam is free? So an innocent kid that is allergic to bees can die if they don't have the money but a fucking junkie gets a free ride? FUCK THAT. The entire thought process of today's world is polar opposite of what I think, so it should come as no surprise that I have NO pitty for a fucking junkie.
Did I ever tell you I used to be a drunk? No? Probably because it doesn't define me, never did. It was a waste of time and resources. I wasn't a victim. No one ever made me drink a drop, I did it all on my own. Did I ever mention that I used to love to smoke Marlboro? Those things will kill you, so I quit. I wasn't a victim. If I die as my FIL just did due to me previously smoking, I'm not suing. No cig manufacture ever lit one for me. I'm not a victim.
I've got dope heads across the road from me. They know I will bury them if the need arises. So far, I'm the only person within a mile of my home that has not been robbed. Guess who the thieves are? The fucking addicts across the road! Everyone knows it. They steal from their parents and neighbors, and piss me off just by driving down my otherwise quiet road in some pos vehicles with no exhaust! If I were a cop I'd simply pull over every vehicle with a load exhaust. Every dope buyer and seller that comes down our road has a busted exhaust, and 80 percent of the SOB's have a neck tattoo. Fuck them, they aren't victims, they are trash. Darwin was right about a lot of things.... Narcam is slowing the process.
