Default Lost three in the last month

Just found out today that we lost two more people from our crowd in a double overdose possible suicide of oxycontin. One of their wives had just overdosed about a week ago and died. This after a friend overdosed about 3 weeks ago.

I guess they really are no longer "friends" though when we saw them on the street there might be a hug and a how are you. We didn't hang out anymore, not safe for a recovering person. What gets me is that they were all attributed to the same drug.

Somebody in the neighborhood is selling them.

I am so grateful that I got out. They didn't, they still had the party mentality and were big time in their addiction. They also had families, wives, children, parents.

Everyone is overwhelmed and just ...............well..........

Just get out, there is time, you are worth it.

Christina...I thank God for you because you are an inspiration to others...if only one person sees your post and your advice to get out there is time and you are worth it...then that is one more that will survive because of you! I am an AA menber and we have attended so many funerals over the years...it makes me realize how lucky I was to get out in time...I was worth it and so were you! Special hugs for you Christina!!

Thank you Dorrie, if anything good can come out of the bad experiences I have had I would hope that it would be a word here or there to help others.
