Hope this isn't a weird question, but something I've been thinking about: why would a person on their own have so many needles? Couldn't you get by with just one if you're the only person shooting up?

My dad died when he was 46. Same age as Hoffman. He was an addict for as long as I can remember, fighting a lifetime battle with his addictions, loving me, my sister and my mother to death. Every step of the way.
I don't know who you are, throwing around phrases like 'piece of shit' or 'weak cunt'. I don't know who you are or who or what made you into the men you are today.
I know who made me into the man I am today. Who taught me how the world is never black and white. Who taught me you should never be too sure of yourself about anything. Empathy. Compassion. Not to be afraid to see yourself with all your weaknesses and shortcomings. To have the feeling that you're accountable for your words, even behind an anonymous username on the internet.
Not to be an asshole.I don't know you and I don't know what your dads taught or tried to teach you. But I'm ok with mine. Really, I am.

@ marychain
I always imagined you, because of you're name, as a fan of Jesus & Mary Chain.
That you were into post punk and heroin in the 80's but you're survived all that flamboyant shoegazzing dark side in the 90's and managed to finish you're degree in the middle of such a rollercoaster of emotions, ocean of drugs and sexual roulette.You destroyed the image I had of you!...
- That is pretty accurate. I'd offer that the shit I have seen leaves me with little sympathymarychain
- And I care little for your image of me. I know what I'm aboutmarychain
- Looking back...I don't romanticize it...and I don't feel sorry for myself...but you gotta own it.marychain
- And you have to better yourself or don't have kids...that is what I'm sayingmarychain
- I'm not suggesting that maybe he chose heroin over his kids...I'm saying he undeniably didmarychain
- And I feel bad for them. I'm sorry he didn't make it...but we have to live with what we domarychain
- If that makes me an asshole to you...then I accept that...but my opinion is just as valid as the nextmarychain
- To suggest otherwise is hypocriticalmarychain
- he's a red sox fan... that automatically makes him 50% perfect :)PonyBoy

I really appreciate everybody's viewpoint here. Kinda surprising to see how many of us here have dealt with this kind of stuff. I shouldn't be judgmental about any way anybody choses to deal with this shit. Apologies for that.
I think its a testament to PSH that many of us are feeling enough of something to share some pretty personal stuff here.
I agree with Marychain to a degree, doing heroin is selfish, doing heroin instead of focusing on sobriety for you children is selfish. But that won't keep me from mourning his loss... or anybody else that I care about who succumbed to their addictions.
Anyways.. don't want to derail that conversation at all, but thought wanted to get some more good PSH memories / performances in here.
