Mods, I wasn’t really sure where to post this, I apologize if it’s the wrong place.

I was introduced to a service called NORS a few years ago. Basically, it’s a free service available for Canadian/American drug users, that use alone.
You can call in using a toll free number (I’ll link the site below). Someone will stay on the phone with you for as long as you need them to. I spoke to someone for like 6 hours one night.
As soon as you get someone on the phone, they set up a sort of “emergency/time line plan” with you.
The ONLY time your address would be passed along, would be if you didn’t respond after a couple minutes (or whatever time was agreed upon) and they had to call an ambulance on your behalf. All information is deleted every time you hang up.
They’re all experienced, and I’m 99% sure they’re all volunteers.

They’ve saved a lot of lives. I highly suggest giving it a try.


If this doesn’t apply to you, please pass it along to someone who could benefit from it!

Stay safe!
 
Thanks for sharing this info about the National Overdose Response Service! Great info!
 
I now always use alone but the substances are not deadly in themselves.
Used to love a shoot party when oxy was real and dope was dope.
After last OD I said fuck the streets and what is available there. Not ready to go yet. Can't ffs. 👍
