This is exactly what happened to me. I had been trying to get clean for a long time and at that point had close to two weeks. I normally just shot a dub so that's what I did. Sure enough, OD.

Oh man, yeah I was most recently arrested this past Aug 18th. I overdosed and luckily my buddy was there (who didn't know I used) looking at some drum equipment I had. He was downstairs when he heard me hit the kitchen floor and ran to see what happened. He saw me and then called the ambulance which arrived with the police. They found my stash in my room and I went to jail for 3 months before getting into drug court. But this program is keeping me outta prison so I'm happy.

I was caught with a needle (which they tested and charged me with possession) almost 3 years prior to that, though, and got off with 3 years probation and 45 days in Huber.

I had a full time job (40+ hours a week) that kept me going for a long time. I would pick up after work (2 bags), use one when I got it, and use the other the next morning before work (if I didn't get greedy before then)

You too man. It's sad to see so many people taken from us because of a drug habit. It's an epidemic now.

They're finally starting to heal, thank god.

Unfortunately there isn't much you can do. If the typical slapping, water to the face, or knuckles to the chest doesn't wake them up and you have Narcan use that. But if their breathing becomes unsteady or shallow definitely call the ambulance. The person is suffering brain damage by not getting enough oxygen.

It sucks having the get someone in trouble, I've had to do it, but it's better than the alternative of losing a friend.

Also, thank you. It feels good to not have to depend on a substance to feel normal day by day.
