26 years old and dead

[Stewie Griffon]

last night i am working at my part time job in a club. in walks an old friend i hadn't seen in 4 years. i had heard he got into pain pills, oxys, and heroin. he was telling me how he went to rehab and had just got out of jail for some petty thefts he used to fuel his addiction. he was always in good shape and came out of jail pretty large. i was excited to see he had cleaned up and was looking forward to training with him again. it was a nice reunion

i get a phone call this morning and was told he fucking dead, od'd on his moms couch. i guess i will never comprehend what it is like to be addicted to crap like that. he seemed so fine and then wham, he's gone a few hours later.

26 years old, before all that crap happened he was 3 months away from completed med school.

RIP brother, you will always be loved.

Sorry for your loss. 26 is too young to leave this earth. Drug addiction is a hard thing to cope with, for the addict and for the people around him.

sad story....sorry for your loss. I too have a family member that is fighting that same addiction who was near death many times and was only 1 year away from completing med school when the addiction started!

may your friend RIP

addiction is evil. my cousin is a heroin addict, she is serving 2 to 3 years in prison now, left behind her daughter, it is terrible.

I feel ur pain one of my good friends died last year from OD on oxy, coke and a fetanol patch. He was just out of rehab and was going to move to Florida with his fiancé who was 6 months pregnant. He was suppose to leave the next day but he never woke up. His mom found him on the couch not breathing. Real sad story.

Best advice is learn from others mistakes and be there for your friends family. Me and some friends go to his parents house and watch UFC fights because that's what he liked to do.

Sorry for your loss, Bro. So young to make choices that we can't recover from. That's a bad phone call to get.

And good for you Rocco, that's a huge deal! We lost my half-sister this week to heroin. Like you said, everything had been tried, multiple times. So I know it takes a lot to get where you are.

Stewie:

Have Masses offered for your friend and pray for him often. Pray for his family as well. There is a book you can read called "Get us our of here" it is by Maria Simma. Many souls who passed on came to her asking her for prayer. Even if you do not believe in this makes no difference. Very few understand the things of the Divine Nature. This is a Holy Mystery. I will think of your friend.

I just wanted to let everyone know that if you or someone you know is addicted to opiates there is help for them! Of course they have to want to get help, but eventually they will because they will have to take the vicodin, norco, oxy or whatever just to not feel sick, you dont really get high anymore once you abuse too much for too long. Anyway this post is about help for those in need.

Suboxone is a partial aganoist and it is very helpful to those wanting to come off of opiates without having the nasty withdrawls! There is clinics and county hospitals that have programs where you can get Suboxone and slowly taper off of it until you have things under control.

i know it sounds like substituting one drug for another but at least suboxone wont get you high like the other opiates and it will block the receptors so that if you do take opiates nothing will happen.

just some FYI
