Our good friends' daughter, who just graduated, has moved out and is doing Oxys and coke - I fear it won't be long now before she puts that needle in her arm - it sure is cheaper than Oxys. She's living with some guy in the heroin capital of Massachusetts - so sad - such a nice girl. Don't know if they know how bad it is, my girl heard through the young folks grapevine and shared with me. Sad, really...
That is really sad. I recently heard that a 17-yr-old lad I used to teach has been on the H for the last month...and sharing needles with someone who is worried bout his own health. This lad's sister is in my class at school next year and I am so glad cos she's gonna need a college tutor who understands what she and her poor family are going through. It breaks my heart. I wish I could have told him before he started...he knows my guy Sean and thinks he's like this hero...wish he could hvae seen that grown man sobbing in my arms cos he's f***ed up his life...these kids should be told by people who've been there...is there no end to this crazy and hurtful cycle?
Dam drugs...I hate them...it makes me so sad.

Tell me about it! i FU***NG hate heroin and what it does to you, your family, friends, strangers, everyone. Two sad posts... never mind eduacating children on some of the daft topics you get in school nowadays, they should get taught the dangers, the real dangers, of drugs. And not from some drug worker who has read about it in a book, from real people who have been there. Cause i know for a fact if i knew the REAL concequences of H i would've avoided it like the plauge!
There is absolutely nothing that prepares you as a parent to deal with this kind of thing. If it hasn't happened to you, you look at parents of young addicts and think they should have did ....(fill in the blank) When it does happen to you. You then realize it can happen to anyone and there is not much at all you can do. My daughter went the Oxy and coke route.
MomNMore: yea that is sad to hear. I know how sad it made my mom when my childhood friends starting using..she watched them grow up "two of em are dead now." dee4life:I don't think all the drug education in the world matters when you wanna do it "you do". I KNEW what h did i saw it, learned, still did not scare me off. I can say now \after the fact\ no one can tell you how BAD IT IS. I never belived it was as dark as it is. It's a hard thing to explain to someone who's never done drugs just exactly what they do. I knew other addicts heard the horror stories i was not gonna listen or belive it was THAT BAD.
Oh M&M it is sad.......so sad.........it's the kids......the young kids that really gets to me........I've posted before........even while using if I was in line and there were kids there............and trust me ya'd see them with their book bags and they were sick and needed to get to class.........here I'd be lecturing them........almost begging them to get help.......and then that one sweet, beautiful, girl.......girl was getting in a fabulous Union.........upper middle class kid.......Tres and me were actually telling, asking her and warning her.....do NOT do this.......split with the guy brought ya here......tell your family and they;ll get ya help.........a real sin cause she seemed right at that place where you're either in it or your not.........so sad.
I'm sorry for that young girl..........and actually them Oxy's M&M.......can be deadlier than heroin.........it don't need to be the needle........they are mad expensive though you are right.........dopes much cheaper........but still these kids figure well it's a PILL..........bad, bad kick too them things.......hopefully she will get some help............heart breaking.

My sister also went oxy and coke.
First the coke. Then stealing the oxy from my mom (who has... well had, I guess...) when she couldn't get the coke.
HD is completely correct. It's really easy to point and say "well MY _____ (kid, friend, relative) would never do that" but we've all learned differently by now.

Well, there's also the notion that they are immortal at 17 or 18, or somehow not subject to the physical laws that rule the rest of us - they are bionic: better, stronger, faster. So they start by stealing their parents' (or purchased) Oxys, get hooked, find out they can't afford Oxys, then switch to H - we've see it a mess of times, same exact story, in our area.
So, yeah, it makes me sad that any family has to go through this. Ya know, when I first told my brother-in-law about our girl, I didn't know what to expect, but he was so great and I took such comfort from his simple observation: "Take a hundred random families across the economic spectrum and this is going on in some of them, that's just how it is." In other words, no parenting judgments were made and I was so grateful.
Just popped on to breakup the monotony of packing. See y'all next week, and I'll miss you...

As all of you have said its all about ..you know it by whatever route smacks here to stay.Recently round in the town i live in two brothers got released from prison...small 2yr.drug offences..but the savvy and connections they made inside has bode them well for their future.The town had a smack problem but ya might have to wait an hr. and theQ might not be great...but these guys are tearing it up with cheapo high grade gear....last 6mnths addiction has threefold methedone is yer only option and ya might have to wait up to 6wks...but its getting better...medical and social services have just woke up to the magnitude of the problem...ya got single mums goin to a gaff during the day ....with there nippers ..havin a smoke o brown...like a crazy tupperware party...social...superficial.The boys are runnin good..got a lot of yes men ...stay well away...but its just like pizza delivery....this is semi..rural Ireland today in any reasonable sized town near a city....im 70ml.from Dublin..a major heroin centre and where i collect my methd.Just everyday ...stuff ..dont even blink an eye..i suppose.Take care all........Davey
It's getting like that everywhere Davey, eh? I'ts getting more n more poular(if that is the right word) hate to say it but it's the truth. The drug services up here are getting much better. Two year ago you were waiting 18 months to get a meth script, but now if you show commitment you can get it in weeks. How did your team do today mate? Any luck at the bookies?
Yeah M&M I didn't get a sense of my own mortality until I had kids of my own...then suddenly life seemed too short...
Beleiver,

..Wot kid says " i wanna be a heroin addict ".. no kid out there thinks they're gonna become addicted to it ?..to them its just a bitta fun to begin with..they wanna get high at that moment in time but in no way will they think they will become addicted ?..cos they're to smart ??..smarter than us addicts who have been there ?..smarter than the people who try to make them see sense ?..smarter than the people who tell them wot happens when ya become addicted and how easy it is to become addicted ?..who of us thought we wud become addicted..most if not all of us..no leaflet, poster, advert, or any other piece of material is gonna stop some kids or most from trying heroin..because its a fashion to do smack..just like any pill or tab or powder out there..they never stop to think they will become addicted when they first try it..knowledge is power..but only to the people who have that knowledge..and even with that knowledge some still find the drug more powerful to stay off..people in life say ya gotta stop the supply ?.i personally think ya gotta stop the demand..the cycle of addiction in life will never end im sad to say..Robbie..
Too true, Robbie. Stopping the demand is a tall order, though, with all the discontent out there among young people (and others). It's like I was saying, none of them think it'll be them - it's the "Oops, I'm not special after all," syndrome.
