Heroin Overdose & Opioid Related Deaths from the United States [Big Collection]

Former heroin addict here, been clean for just over a year. I was given co-codamol by hospital specialist, then he changed me to tramadol, and then Oxycodone. He left the hospital, new doc took me off everything after being on them for years, he cut me down from 80mg a day, to nothing in less than two weeks.

Pain kicked back in, withdrawals both mental and physical started and I couldn't take it. I bought oxy on the dark web, then couldn't afford it any more because it was £30 a pill. Heroin was £10 for a bag and at the beginning could see me through a week. That quickly changed and I was buying more and more just to stop the withdrawals. I never shot up, only smoked it (despite hating smoking - never smoked weed, cigarettes or anything). It stopped being effective and I ran out of money so went cold turkey and have been clean ever since.

At least 3 times a week I think of buying some, because of the pain and because my mental struggles get bad, but seeing these pictures, and imagining my mother having to see me like the people in this thread has firmly made me swear never to touch that shit again. Truly heartbreaking for anyone to have to go through.

Thank you so much for this post, it's helped me clear my mind of wanting to have "just one more high". Most of the people on here wanted one more and it was their last.

People who are addicted are not animals, the majority of addicts are not "scum" or thieves, I never stole anything or borrowed money from family etc, and many people I know don't either. There are a bad few, but all of the people in those photos were loved and had families who cared about them. The addiction was just too strong and I hope their families can find peace.

I was doing dope with my ex once and he did one shot and fell out of his chair seizing out, foaming at the mouth, and pissed all over himself. I used narcan on him twice he came back with no memory at all. Didn't even know who I was. He didn't react to fentanyl or heroin well at all he was normally go into a rageful psychosis and threaten suicide or become horribly abusive ruining the high many times. I regret saving him especially after the way we broke up and all the shit he put me through.

I tried contributing to the thread but I don't know what I'm doing. LOL This is the woman from that post that sold him the drugs and was convicted of 2nd degree murder. That sentence seems incredibly light to me for murder.

Great post... I haven't even gotten all the way through but I'm riveted already.
