Maybe, but I just don't think it's a good idea to add insult to injury. I'm just seeing too much pain and heartache over the subject. It's always Somebody's Daughter or somebody son, brother sister or grandkid. And there ain't a one of them that grew up as a kid saying " I want to be an addict or alcoholic when I grow up!"lol. And I'm not going to take on everybody that wants to be rude about the subject, but I am going to reach out to those that still suffer. It can spark an emotional reaction out of me, cause I've been to close to those people trying to recover and their families

I changed you post just a little Angela. Some people have no compassion for the living. So sorry for your loss madminker. Your cousin didn't want to die, but just got real unlucky. I also don't necessarily think God will reject this person. The God I know of is a forgiving and loving God. It was also one of his children that died. I am sure he is heart broken and very compassionate.

Senseless!! Sent with prayer

Talk about a POS. Spineless, classless, toad.

Thank you guys for the prayers.

You Sir are exactly why I don't believe in religion. If God is as he is depicted in the bible he will gladly receive this girl; while your still on this earth you might try to practice what your preaching and not be so judgmental, believe your bible says something about that too. Wait til you stand before God and he brings up such posts as this or just your attitude towards your fellow man.

Sorry for your families loss man,apologize about the above but just hits me wrong.

Work as a fire/medic and see your story played many times or hear of so many more stories such as yours. Just hate it is all,

I wish her God Speed, and healing for your family,y in the time of loss.

I'm so sorry for you and your family, Madminker. So many people get in over their heads in things they cannot climb above. I hope you and the rest of your family sticks together even stronger through this.

Sorry to hear about your loss. Loosing a famiky member is horrible. Lets keep in mind this is NOT dopes fault, this is a PEOPLE problem. Everybody makes choices in there lives.

Prayers sent your way btw!

Addiction is more complicated than saying its just a choice. It may have been a choice in the beginning when drinking or using was a social event. People inclined to addiction lose the power of choice pretty fast. pleasures unwoven on you tube explains pretty well.

Spent 4 1/2 hours at the hospital with a tweeker that over did it last night, sickening all that went on and the condition a human puts themselves in and for what, I just don't get it and never will!

left home at 15 because my stepmom was hooked on morphine for m.s. She had her own vial to inject from. She was extremely abusive physically.always a liar.saw her od and go thru withdrawl twice in hospital as a kid.my sis and i fended for ourselves.i remember her hitting me in the head 5-6 times at 10 yrs old. I saw stars and almost went down. Thieves on the heroin wiped us(son and I) out...20 grand worth of mine and my sons inheritances from grandparents that can never be replaced!!! .Was also attacked and robbed by one on heroin in the philippines who i thought was my friend...my sons filipino godfather policeman shot and killed him when he heard,,what a befitting end!!!!..as stated by one on here,the pain and all that goes with all drug addiction can never be forgotten by the victims.

Sounds like you get to see the worst of it quite often. Has to be tough on you also just to see the senseless suffering of people. Thanks for sharing your hands on experiences. I find them very interesting but sad. Thanks!!!
