My cousin died

Lounge
1

She was 39. She was an alcoholic and drug addict since she was 12. I told family when she was 12 that she was using heroin but no one believed me. :frowning: She was denied for a liver Transplant. She was doing hospice at home. Her sister gave her $20 and she wanted to buy alcohol. Her husband refused to take her to get it. So she wheeled her wheelchair out and got hit by a car and died shortly after

Sometimes I think drug and alcohol addictions are worse than sz.

My friends brother died at 40 of cirrhosis. From alcohol. I had many friends die of heroin od. When I wanted to do drugs I told myself I’d never get into opioids, coke , amphetamine or alcohol addictively. That all changed when everyone around me was drinking. I became an alcoholic. In 2014 I was in a sober house with buncha heroin addicts. I tried Vicodin and kratom the next fall. Was very tempted to try harder opioids but then got hooked on naltrexone it keeps me away. Thank god. Sometimes it’s what lures u in is the wrong influence like my cousins are both addicts and I grew up with them I never tried weed till I was 18 but everyone around me was influencing me to do it. And it just seems like the only thing that ever works. Even when it’s destructive like that. It’s the best option till it’s not anymore. I’m sorry your cousin went so soon and just be ever there more grateful that you’re clean now too. But yeah it’s tough I worry about my cousins too

Thanks for your honest and heart felt post. My cousin met an older guy when she was 12 and he helped her learn how to inject heroin. So sad. Im sorry you fell into addiction too. Im glad you’re doing well now

That’s so young I can’t even imagine. I’m watching 12 years olds play basketball can’t imagine them doing heroin. I’m glad even tho I was unwise but that I was wiser being 18 Than 12 when I was starting drugs

Yeah. I was very concerned and told family but no one believed me. She later admitted to starting heroin at 12 just like I said. So sad
