devohoneybee at 06:26pm on 02/02/2014We do this educational piece every year at the holidays where I work (with people with drug and alcohol problems).
Please get this word out: People who have been clean and sober, if you are going to use again, you don't have the same tolerance you used to have. Start with a MUCH smaller dose, then work up if that's not enough. Don't use alone. That way, if you miscalculate, someone is there to get help for you
Many overdoses are accidents, because of people not knowing this.
Everyone has the right to choose. No one deserves to die because they picked up a drug. No one gets to judge someone doing that.
Just... make an informed choice. LIVE.
Then later, you get to sort out where you want to go from there. But unless you WANT to die, and this is how you choose to do it, be smart. LIVE to choose another day.
Thank you.
