My (recently) ex-gf is struggling because her two younger brothers who live in Indiana are using it. One of her brothers (20) has been a user for years and he steals things from the house-- the other brother (17) keeps a padlock on his bedroom door. Now the 17 year old brother is starting to do it too, and it's just so tragic.
Right now her dad is dying of cancer, her mom is on H too, and is an alcoholic. The dad has always been a drunk and an abuser. But with him dying things are really unraveling and all her family is flying off their hinges. She's safe in California and living a productive life, working a job that will only give her so much flexibility with her family. She of course doesn't want to share the extent of her problems with her employer.
She wants to fly back to Indiana and interject herself into her family's situation, see her father through his dying days, and try to get her youngest brother off of heroin before it's too late. I am telling her that there's only so much she can do, and she can't take 3 months to try to fix her family that seems determined to destroy itself. It's amazing enough that she got out of there alive and in good mental condition herself.
There's only so much you can do, even for your family, and there's little you can do to get someone else to stop using a drug like heroin.

Even though it is the new trend according to that article, I never encountered it in many years of partying. Have tried plenty of other things but never ran into someone who did heroin or offered me some. Maybe I need cooler friends or something..

Yeah ive never seen it in person. An ex gf of mind died from it in 2009, she was 31, but I believe she started it long after we broke up. And man was she a cutie when we were together but looked like Skeletor before she died. Almost unrecognizable and really ugly looking, as mean as that is to say.

I tried heroin once and didn't like it......said NO one ever....
- pretty sure everyone says that the first time ? isnt the first time always lots of vomitting and nausea?autoflavour
- I tried it once last summer and didn't care for it either. But I don love a lot most drugs aside from psychedelics.Josev

ive had a few friends completely derail their lives with it. a few managed to comeback to normality after extended stints in rehab, others werent so lucky and were last seen homeless..
Heroin and Meth were always something i steered way clear of..
I also gave Cocaine a pretty big miss, not so much for its addictive nature, just it turns people into twats, its crazy expensive and it lasts like 15 minutes.. plus its highly addictive.

I heard people get hooked on painkillers, and the move onto heroin? What if I get in an accident and get hooked on painkillers? I saw a documentary on heroin and I don't want to fall into that path.
- Yeah, it's a small % of ppl using painkillers switch to H, but a huge % of H users started on pain killers.sarahfailin
