I almost just passed on the keyboard as I was typing. That's sort of the idea anyway. I was violently illl all yesterday and eneded some downtime for today. I think I may just act on that. I'll back later, either this evening or tomorrow morning.
Ok, good luck.
Followed by some pretty good advice.

1. If you mixed narcotics, benzos and alcohol, you're really
asking for trouble. Like, not breathing. Or aspirating your own vomit. Don't do that again.

2. I spent almost 4 years helping to provide medical coverage for a post of 2200 men.

The Army's estimate of the percentage of troops using IV needles (almost all for heroin)
was 7%. That was the official estimate -- so you KNOW it was lowered to avoid bad PR.
.
In that time, we responded to an unbelievable number of heroin overdoses (I performed CPR
on more than half-a-dozen), yet we never lost one (part of the reason is that addicts tend to
watch out for each other... and they call for help when needed).
.
The only person we EVER lost to drugs? JUST before I arrived, a soldier came home from a
night of partying with beer and Quaaludes, passed out in bed, threw up and choked on vomit.
.
It was not a pretty, dignified, nor smooth transition away from this level of reality.

Drugs can be FUN... with just a little bit of common sense applied. Alcohol can be FUN... with
just a little bit of common sense applied.

Pills and alcohol? Bad. BAD!!!

3. Ah, yes...
The Janis Joplin, Marilyn Monroe, Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, John Belushi, Heath Ledger Out Of This World method.
Pills and booze, of ANY stripe DO.NOT.MIX.
Please don't do that again.
I didn't even list the folks who I knew or were related to in my little list that used this method of self-snuff.
Ah yes, here comes a no surprise post. Our favorite intravenous drug user.

I was working in the ICU last night. People are stupid, enough said.
By the way, please do not come in to see your relative while drunk, you may be barred from the hospital. Also, please do not attempt to remove your own foley catheter, you will not like the results.

I don't know much about drugs but I know I do not want to be ruled by a bunch of people who hate their lives so much they are always attempting to snuff them out with drugs.

Wait.................where's Nads on this thread? I'm sure she must have spent some time as a druggie who then got clean and counseled drug-addicted people.
Where are you, Nads????? We need your wisdom, experience and knowledge inserted into this tale of drugs and Halloween candy!

She's chasing brush fires on the side of the high way.
Don't encourage her.

6. Not really - the prescription stuff is for the runs
But since it's basically opium, herbs and alcohol, it's not hard to make
Laudanom. Okay. ::)
