Hmmmm...??
....I think the one thing that effects me the most, is my first overdose. I was shooting up Fentanyl before my mom had to drive me to work. I worked as a cook at the time and was scheduled to open the kitchen in the morning, so I was getting myself right, had been partying the night before, loads of cocaine, alcohol and codeine...
...well, I had just finished doing some poppers, weed/tobacco thing here, I know it's called something else other places, and I know the term 'poppers' refers to amyl nitrite most places...anyways...
....I had ripped a few of those...had a beer going... Got my next popper ready in the bong, which I was to hit just after I got my rigs right and away after my shot...so I remember vividly pushing the plunger in, chamber of fentanyl, mainline, pulled out, got up out of the crossed legged position I was in on my bedroom floor, was going to get my bong and rip the popper.....
....but....after the fentanyl sailed through my veins to my heart and brain... I simply just fell onto my pile of dirty laundry... All I remember is my vision just rotating from upright to sideways, toppling over onto my side.....then just black......
.... I woke up in the hospital with I.V.'s hooked into my arms, breathing machine hooked into my lungs through a tube....
...it felt as if I was there for days...but it was only a few hours...
What had happened at home was my mom had knocked on my door saying she was ready to drive me to work but didn't receive any answer...so after a few attempts she just entered to find me unconscious and gurgling on my floor, I wasnt breathing but she felt/heard my heart still beating so she immediately attempted to try and give me C.P.R., but when she opened my mouth she found the half of the patch of fentanyl I was sucking on, the remnants of the patch I sucked the fentanyl out of to inject....
...she threw that out and proceeded with the C.P.R. she called 911, and was loosing her mind from what she told me....so much so,that she didn't clean out any of the drugs and paraphernalia in my room before the paramedics and police showed up...
...anyways, I came to in a bed in the hospital with all this crap sticking out of my veins and mouth.... First thing I see are 3 cops....first thing I hear is them threatening to arrest me, and them asking me where I got it from? what's this? Tell us now?...
...I told them I got it from the Carebears ...
...I asked the doctor a few questions as to where I was found and how long I had been there, then started to worry about work, so I was about to rip all the I.V's out and get out of there to go work...one of the nurses stopped me...I just so happened to look away to my right as to not see all these cops, nurses and the doctor that were at the foot of my bed... And I see that the crack in the door to my room has some dark movement...
...the dark movement turned out to be my mother peaking through the crack in the door, she had seen that I was conscious and breathing without a tube jammed down my trachea and burst in through the doors of the emergency room I occupied.... She ran up to me crying, I started to cry, she hugged me, I hugged back. I apologised repeatedly with non stop tears rolling down my face, she said it's OK, it's OK...
....I really feel bad about putting her through that experience.... I still to this day feel very remorseful that I put her through that, I don't think I can ever live that down....as soon as I was released from E.R. my mom and dad drove me home, I showered and went to the beer store....
...I have overdosed 2 more times since then....both from fentanyl again, only these times it was in the skag I had purchased, I didn't know it was cut with fentanyl...
....I guess I may as well get this one out of the way too, as it ties into my last two overdoses...
..I'll keep it short and simple...these last 2 overdoses happened at my friend's house, in the basement.... My friend has a wife, 3 kids...a family.... But instead of him spending time with his kids and wife, he's down in the basement with me, smoking crack and shooting heroin.... I hear his kids call for him... Call for 'daddy' but he's occupied with me, in this dirty unfinished basement watching me overdose....I feel bad depriving his children of their father. I know it's his choice, but I always think that I'm the reason his kids and wife are upstairs all alone without their father and husband. So I do feel guilty about that...his kids deserve a father...
....anyways... I think those are the ones that hit home with me the most.... Other than that...without getting into detail right now.... All other 'sins' fit right in with the majority of the posts in this thread....theft, disrespect, arrogance, selfish myopic thoughts...dishonesty....
...I'll elaborate more in future posts...
