Cheryl & I were not blessed with children. My niece Amy is the daughter we never had. She will be celebrating 1 year with NA in a couple weeks and we're having a small celebration at the house. This is her 3rd go at the clean and sober life. I live in fear every minute of every day that I'm going to get the text or phone call that she's dead. FUCK HEROIN. FUCK ADDICTION.

Friki is wise. Stay the F away from Opiates!!!

How many more .orgers do we need to lose to finally accept that opiates are killers?
How fucking many. I just played with this man last weekend.

Das Loon is wise.

There are so many substances out there to play with, many of which are purdy darn safe. It is really sad that so many of us are drawn to the one category that is a) damn hard to kick once you're IN IT, and b) tends to end very badly.....

As some of you know, I spend a lot of time looking at drug treatment programs and initiatives to deal with drug related issues, many of which involve law enforcement folks being at the table, and EVERYONE wishes we could go back to the days when a few 40s and an couple of blunts was a good night out......

](*,) ](*,) ](*,)

Stay safe and if those near you are IN IT, understand that they do not and can not properly assess their peril in their current state (to put it simply, their brains are telling them MORE MORE MORE). It is up to those who are NOT in it to intervene.

sigh.......

RIP.

There are some you can take, and others you cannot.

We walk this world courageously,
Adventure in our hearts,
Taking risks and blowing chances,
But somewhere we’ve got to start.

Life is filled with so much beauty,
And we struggle hard to see,
Occasionally we find a substance
We believe it sets us free.

Surrounded by love and brightness,
One wonders how you fall.
In the brightest places you’ll find darkness,
And death becomes us all.

Rejoice in every moment,
Become blind enough to see.
Your soul will find its passion,
Take heart in the memories.

Another friend has left us,
His energy released
He gave us warm kindness
and his smile always sweet.

Share your love with focused intent
And regret not a single day
Reach out a hand to those in need,
We have much to give away.
"The Moment May be Temporary, but the Memory is Forever"

One of my closest friends lost the man she loves today. All because of one dumbass decision to get high. Sean was a lurker on this board and knew all of us. A lot of us got to party with him last weekend at RORF. My whole family of friends is rocked and devistated by this. He survived cancer many times over and we lose him to drugs.

Opiates can go fuck themselves hard in the ass!!!!
Ive got a dream. Its about singing dancing and making people happy. Its the kind of dream that gets better the more people you share it with. I've found a whole bunch of friends who have the same dream. And, well, it kind of makes us like a family.~Kermit

I'm deeply saddened by this. For what little I knew of him, he seemed like a really good dude.

Very sad. I really liked Sean. He was kind and accepting, just like so
Many we've lost. (((Sean and family)))
Oh, give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock 'n' roll and drift away

Heartbreaking. Sean's smile was one of the very kindest. So shocked and sorry to hear that his sweet soul has passed on. Sending all my love and strength.
