I don’t mean to be a kind banana here but I think it is important for me to at least write this thread, if nothing else.

A sort while ago I was informed that my ex girlfriend was found dead today. That is the only info I have been given at the moment but at the same time, it is all the info I need. Although likely, I do not know that her death was a direct consequence of heroin, but I do know that it was heroin that led her down this path.

As many of you know that I was a heroin addict, and that is how I came to be in her company. We shared much in common, especially drugs, to the extent that it was damaging for us to be together so we made the decision to split up and try our best to not talk again until we were both clean and stable. Unfortunately this never happened for her. This has always been a thorn in my side because I liked her so much.A few months ago when I created a new FB account I had a message and a friend request from her asking if we could be friends again etc but sadly I ignored it and now it is too late.

Heroin took much from me and her, our jobs our flat, or TV, DVD’s and our dignity, but now it has taken something that can never be replaced. She truly was a wonderful person.

That fuckin’ sucks man, deepest sympathy n all that.. as i don’t believe about ‘resting in peace’ as they normally say.

The message thing must really eat you up though I can guess what that’d be like :-S

Smack does lead you down some dirty paths

I’m so sorry to hear this mate, that’s horrible news! I must add though that the decisions you made to keep your distance may well have saved your life if it was heroin related. If you need an ear to bend you got my number/fb etc etc …

Much love man <3

Cheers again

Sorry to hear that… though I would agree with what Daft said. Sometimes stepping back / away can save you.

one impetus for me to spend time doing something constructive with the community radio station and music but keep away from hardcore drugs was seeing so many people younger than me destroy themselves over the years, and in areas nearly 150 miles apart.

Opiates never really appealed to be, but I always used to listen to Sunday morning on speed comedowns (when I wasn’t meowing with the cat, this last activity was probably what kept me sane in those days as I knew I had one true friend I could trust..)

Hey honey

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your friend / ex

it is truely sad when someone so young dies, what ever the cause

I cant even begin to imagine how you feel, but to re-iterate the words of p0ly, daft and GL, you did the best thing possible for you in that time for your situation, using friends – when you are trying to stay clean is a tough one – even for people clean 10+ yrs – let alone you and esp when they are a partner / ex partner.

just because you wernt able to be her friend at that time doesn’t deminsh your bond and caring, and I’m sure deep down she wold have releaised this when she put the FB friend request in

keep strong, and express your grief

Crappy isn’t it, I keep thinking about how her mum and dad are taking it and not to mention her 6/7 year old daughter. I admit she had her flaws (lord knows she had a fair few lol) but she did have a heart of gold and was sadly misguided. I also learned allot from her in many different departments. I wont forget her in a hurry that’s for sure. I am gonna try and remember the good times we had at parties or just indoors watching crappy holby city, the hotel binges/shagathons, or the walks to the duck pond. Thoses memorys are the only thing the brown cannot take. Those memorys are reserved for Alzheimer’s disease to rob from me.

Anyway i’m gonna leave you all withh a special word that we used to love using “penal”

The history of heroin is proper far out;

From 1898 through to 1910, diacetylmorphine was marketed under the trademark name Heroin as a non-addictive morphine substitute and cough suppressant. Bayer marketed the drug as a cure for morphine addiction before it was discovered that it rapidly metabolizes into morphine. As such, diacetylmorphine is in essence a quicker-acting form of morphine. The company was embarrassed by the new finding, which became a historic blunder for Bayer

Heroin – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Oh yeah I count my blessings for sure, I have had more than my fair share of narrowly avoiding being killed, Igot in a car with a incredibly drunk idiot when I was 17 and plowed into a wall head on at about 50-60MPH Car was a complete wreck and on fire and shit, you thought I would have learned my lessons from that but no, I decided to do worse things involving harder drugs. No though I do cherish my life, always take extra special care when crossing roads and take no risks what so ever.

Well i’m gonna be speaking find out exactly what happened today, also i’m gonna do some detective work around the streets, try and find out who saw her and other things. Obviously i’m not going to go and stab a drug dealer I just want to know what happened to her. Just call me inspector Logue, Super sleuth.

It is terrible when anyone you used to hang with is reported dead. Her race is done. Yours is still ongoing.

Heroin is a destroyer – very powerful, it can feel so good and so appears as an “answer”. Actually, to be totally honest, heroin usually doesn’t kill on its own – typically there’s a complication caused by the dependent lifestyle.

I guess all drugs are an escape. Some of them really do lead to very dangerous places. Perhaps the need for some danger and rebellion are what attracts people?

Live long and prosper.
