Yes, this is a true story… There is a documentary about it I think…![]()
Yes there is, about the GGB. It's a bit triggering so I won't post the link but I was in tears.

we care, man. we all are going through similar and TRYING to find our way through it all.
I have a brain tumor/cancer myself; my mother is also suffering from something similar but as AS BAD but the problem continues to get worse it seems. I am 32 and have a seizure years back while coming off benzos which led me to find out about my problems; so I am there w/you w/ medical problems. I have an MRI Saturday and will be as Mass General Hospital Monday to follow up; hopefully all is OK but I continue to fight it because my family wants me to and doesnt want to see me go; I dont want to see me go either as long as they are all around and they dont want me to go.
severely unhappy w/ myself, too. been using HEAVY for 14 years; family knows and they just think back to all the OD's, problems, money, etc, I have caused/lost, etc. they are disgusted by it all but they choose to continue to love me and let me TRY to better myself; I try and try but I keep fucking up but I refuse to stop. you have to do the same; you have to just TRY and also understand why you are going through this; whether you better yourself or not, just TRY TO DO UR BEST and make your family see that. your family wants you around, man. dont care what you think, I dont know your or the family but I can assure they dont want to see you go, regardless of what happens elsewhere.
I only stay close w/ my immediate family ;I dont care about the rest. I am going through a ton of shit, so I dont need many parts of my family, 3-4 people is fine by me, so I feel you on that as well.
I am on Vivitrol and fiending for dope still but trying to stay away and not kill myself; I fucked up using Subs, Methadone, dope, whatever. I always used dope on top of whatever else I was using at the time; I stayed "sober" for 8 months using just subs but rushed the dosage down from 24MG to 2-4MG and starting shooting again. then I tried methadone after picking up a 2ND DUI, so I started done' but even when I was at 95MG of done' id still try to shoot cuz I was addicted to that needle/rush. it was a waste of money and time but I was a moron; I did much better on subs. well, I was on a 6 month program on the done' but stopped at 18MG and just stayed home and called out of work: i was dope sick as can be so I started shooting dope again; ended up going to jail for 2 weeks for pissing dirty and then had to go right into a 2 week DUI program which I got kicked out of for being SICK; I said i was regularly sick, just a temperature etc, but I was dope sick as can be. I go out and started shooting right away; my family was disgusted w/ what was happening so I told them I would go to detox; they wanted me to go that DAY but I manged to push off 2 days so I can shoot dope for 2 more days; well, I went in for 3 days and left early but lied to parents and just got back to my apartment but told parents I was still in detox for 3 more days; I used for the 3 days while home but I somehow was no longer that dope sick. to this day I am not that bad and feeling OK but I got on the shot early, while still dirty, but had to get the shot cuz I knew I couldnt go long enough to not have dope in my piss. well, here I am and I am TRYING and TRYING but I wont give up, man. I am getting a new job in my fathers field and going into his biz and maybe will take care of the biz he owns in Asbestos Removal father than Software Sales which is what I did already.
so dude, open up, tell us, because we are all going through similar and maybe we can help one another out. you always seemed like a good dude on this board and hearing/seeing this makes me concerned and I want to help you, so tell me what you need me to do in order to make you think twice before anything?
dude, I am 32 w/ brain tumo/cancer, I been arrested multiple times, did federal and state time, on program now for 2ND DUI, addicted to heroin but now on Vivitrol for first time; I am struggling getting by w/ no car, cash, etc but damn I keep trying because I know I am better than this and can beat this, SO CAN YOU! so lets help one another out, brotha. I post in this section for a reason; I had thoughts myself but I can beat those thoughts and beat this life.
I'm glad you're still here with us, Smoky. You're an amazing person. I'm still surprised I don't have brain damage from the sick games I used to play with pills and alcohol, or worse. It's certainly not something anyone should even consider.
a question I ask myself often
I care!-loved ones (in my family) are suffering from medical issues; last leg of their life
-I have health issues and mental health issues (PTSD, agoraphobic tendencies, depression/anxiety)
-I'm severely unhappy with what I've done to myself due to addiction; I don't subscribe to the willpowerless concept of addiction, hence I realize I am at fault for what I've done to myself
-I haven't seen the majority of my family for over 6 years
-I've used suboxone for almost as many years, and have 3 months off it
I could write much more, but this is what I'm willing to share
I didn't want to open up, mostly because no one cares
I feel undeserving
of all my misfortune
of any kindness and support
of having been born
and having to live
I hope everyone else is doing better off than I am
Hey you're going to get through it CH. I know panic attacks are scary first hand and can seem like they will never end, but they will. They will end and you will be okay, I promise. When I have panic attacks sometimes I have dark thoughts too because I just want it all to end. The shaking, the nervousness, etc. It will.
You're going to be okay.
I know that feeling. Sometimes, I wish I could erase myself and draw up a new better me.Thank you so much aq
It lasted for like 3 and a half hours
Dark thoughts the whole time
It's so hard to live through this without the drugs I was using, but I'm determined to keep at it and not relapse this time
I'm just so nervous all the time now. I hate it. I wish I could change.
