Another life gone because of drugs
Another life gone because of drugs
I found out last night that a childhood friend died by a drug over dose on Thursday. I havent seen him in over 11 years but we were really close as kids. We all had experimented with drinking and some drugs at the same time but when most of us got away from it he continued. Even though I havent seen or spoken to him in years I feel very sad today. He had so much potential and when I was a teenager I swore he was going to be a comedian. Not many people could make me laugh... you know those laughs where your eyes start tearing... he was one of the few. He was such a sweet kid not those average teen age boys... I always wondered about him and hoped he changed his life. My prayers go out to his family and his soul.
I hate drugs!

I'm so sorry...do we have anything like a remembrance thread? It happens so often in our lives when we know so many people out there. Maybe it would serve two fold atleast...a place where we could remember them with stories and such and also a place to keep us and other newcomers grounded so that we never forget how deadly this disease is...just a thought. I've lost two this year. My heart is tired of breaking. I'm very sorry for your loss. I could say try to remember the good times but it feel shallow even typing it. I'm so sorry.
Jewelz, I am so sorry. I hate that death is a consequence of this disease. My thoughts are with you and him and his family.
Freshstart -- I think a remembrance thread would be lovely. I too lost someone and could probably post and post about him and what I go through daily journeying through this loss. I never know where to post because the grief area feels isolated from the other areas. Please let me know if you start one.

Yesterday I was looking at pictures from when we were teenagers... so many memories come to mind now things that were forgotten. When of the last times I saw him he said he needed to talk to me about something and we never did have that conversation. When we were kids we really felt that know one understood us.. I guess all teenagers felt that way. I remember now that on the surface he came from a good family but he was abused as well. I feel bad that back then when me and my ex moved on and started doing better that we didnt make an effort to keep in contact with him... just maybe we could have done something different by keeping him in our lives. Maybe he wouldnt continued down the path he went on.
I've known so many people who are on drugs but I never knew of anyone personally that died because of it. This really brings to mind how life is so precious to me.
I think a remembrance thread is really a good idea!
thanks to all,

Jewelz-
Sorry to hear of your loss....
Why are the "Funny Ones" always hurting SO badly inside? It breaks my heart to hear of someone masking their feelings so thoroughly.
Let's all love our friends a little harder today-and everyday... (It can't hurt)
A remembrance thread would be really helpful, I think.
Thanks for reminding us of how easy it is to lose someone we care about to drugs and alcohol. I'll be thinking of this today...
