Thanks everyone. I have been in the ER for withdrawal symptoms multiple times in multiple different hospitals. I think at least 7 hospitals in Toronto alone. Then there were the injuries I had that also landed me in the ER. I lost count but total visits are 10-12. Also spent 3 days in a psych ward after a drug binge.
That is true power of addiction when I repeat the same behaviours over and over knowing what the outcome is likely to be.
