So sorry to hear of your loss. My brother overdosed in January this year. He was a heroin addict for at least 10 years. Over time he tried so hard to stop, he was on the methodone program, he smoked pot, he took prescribed antidepressants along with other street drugs to try to get over heroin. He spent short spurts in and out of jail. Even though years ago I barely knew him because he was so wrapped up in his addiction, over the past couple of years my husband & I allowed him into our home to live, gave him a job (he always wanted to work too), but many employers couldn't keep him because of his simple lack of social communication. Heroin is a tough one! He always told us no matter how long he stayed off of it, it always was on his mind, even at the best times. Ultimately, he died of a morphine overdose, how shocking this was to all of us, his family & friends, but apparently it's almost the same thing as heroin. It's crazy. Addiction is crazy. It's heartbreaking. I wish there was more I could do, more I could see and understand in order to protect my own children from this evil. But sometimes it's out of our hands. I hope that you find peace eventually. Some days are ok, others you just feel this heavy burden of depression. Just keep breathing and moving. Good luck. |
