Sorry for your loss.

My best friend from high school OD'd on that crap back in 2014. Still hurts.

He was a Marine veteran who served in Iraq and got hooked on pain meds after he was discharged. And we know where that leads. Too many good people are lost to heroin. They're not all junkies.

You have friends here.  Odd as it might seem, it helps to be able to talk about these things to people who are your friends, even though you haven't met us in person.

Use us.

"i keep running toejam over and over in my head."   
            This absolutely SUCKS! I feel ya! Sure, go over and over in your head...as long as you dont start thinking you could have changed things! Trust me, I know. Seems that Heroin is the force "Stronger than blood"! My Daughter got wrapped up in this BS! Its been a hard time, but I eventually saw it for what it was. I didnt mess up THAT BAD and once this stuff gets into your life...its all you care about. I beat myself over the head, the last 3 years. what did I miss/NOT DO, why didnt I see warning signs/or act on the ones I found... ect.!  ITS NOT YOUR'S OR ANYONE ELSES FAULT(pill mill Dr.s, big Pharma pushing sales ect..they could be somewhat blamed)! If you only knew, how I want to declare war on her dealers! She had 2 kids, so they are my focus....FOR NOW!
  "Vengeance is mine!" sayeth the Lord??????????yayaya He is on the clock! Hopefully "This Cup" will pass from me. If not...With out REMORSE I will have my say!

Sad news such a terrible epidemic.  I have a close friend that nearly lost everything to that stuff, we staged an intervention with our circle of friends and his family. Thankfully he turned things around but I can still see that he struggles from time to time. Very sorry for your loss, nobody should have to go through that.

Sorry to hear of your loss. I understand you feel bad about it but there is another person to consider. Did he get your Daughter hooked? She is going to need a TON of support from you especially if he spread his habit to her.

she just got out of detox. they danced with that devil for 5 years. now his kids are fatherless and I will never hear him say, Rob, I love you buddy." again. breaks my heart man. 28 years old. I figure it could go one of two ways with my daughter...either she will use the loss as a reason to stay sober or she will use it as a reason to go off the rails. I tell you this, there is no way I could survive losing her like this. I am just glad that his family has faith, that will help. I don't and right now I am very envious of people that do. thanks guys. I should not have posted this on here, but I was in the middle of losing my mind. my grandbabies...my poor grandbabies

Sincerest condolences.

Prayers to you, your family and his.

Two guys on meth murdered my brother in 1997 - he was 28 also. Still miss his everyday.

Please look into grief counseling - it really helps, won’t fix it, but it will help you - I promise that.

I am very sorry to hear about your family. I send my warmest condolences.

These types of drugs are why I say what I say and have posted what I have. I have lost 4 people I knew and watched a neighborhood buddy get his house raided and sent to prison where he became gang affiliated and got caught 5 years later with pounds of meth and heroin in his car. Hes now serving 10 years. One God dang hit of this crap and it destroys a person. It steals their pursuit and fight for life. I had a friend spend $800 every two weeks on this stuff. Couldn't believe it when I found out. It hit the suburbs of wealthy areas in GA hard. These drugs are being used to steal our friends and family when they cave to the peer pressure and constant psychological stress and simply take one hit thinking one won't hurt. It is not Weed. These are extremely dangerous drugs being weaponized on Americans. Stats on overdoses a month are staggering. I see first hand whats its doing in Portland. We must stop the supply to our neighborhoods. Stopping the supply is the only way. These drugs are too damn powerful and they are ruining peoples lives.

Sorry for your loss

Until they start executing drug dealers immediately after the guilty verdict this will continue.

Sorry for your loss sir.   Give your daughter lots of love and support to help pull her through.

I'm lucky I survived a lot of bad choices when I was young; some of my friends of that time ended up in prison or the morgue.  I was lucky, I turned my life around in a big way through the support of good friends, perhaps my deep seated love of the outdoors, and a very kind admissions counselor who gave me a second chance at a fine education.  I'm wishing for similar good fortune for your daughter.

Drug dealers sell to those wanting to buy.

[The Fugitive]

Drug dealers sell to those wanting to buy.

True but if we hang all the dealers then those people who "want to buy" wont be able to.  Win win, get rid of the scum that make money off people with problems and take a major step to help people with problems by taking the drugs away.
