I don't know PhreeX personally, but I know that everyone on this board including myself are hoping and praying that he gets through this.
 
I didnt know dave, but judging from the responses to this thread, the multitude of positive comments, and prayers, he was a helluva guy.
My prayers are with you.
God Speed.

I don't know Dave and I can't say I've ever paid particular attention to his posts, but if this is a true suicide attempt and he does pull through, it's really heartening to see the thread he'll have to come back too. So many people care, and reading through this will help him realise that.
You're all good people. I'll pray that this person who seems special to so many people gets through in one piece.
 
This may upset. I hope not. But...
For over two years I read BL before I joined, almost all of that time in OD. Phreex was by far the most informative of the ODers. He was my favorite, and I sought his posts out. I think it quite possible I've read everything he posted here and at the OD off-site since 2000. He was well-read, highly intelligent, very well-trained, a good writer, and above all, HONEST. He did not play games with BLers or himself. He did not suffer fools or assholes gladly, although he would be gentle and helpful to those who did not pose or project attitude.
I've not seen anyone refer to his long post of over a year ago, in which he detailed how completely opioids ruled his life. In it he stated that EVERY significant moment or relationship of his post-juvenile life was influenced by opioids. It was the most powerful and, yes, beautiful, of his works, and was searingly, brutally honest. And it was heartbreakingly sad. It was so obvious to me he was in tremendous emotional pain, and had been so for years. Yet he did not whine or beg sympathy. What he did was what so many in pain do: he sought the solace of Morphus, healing by the fruit of the lotus.
But it is that honesty which was Phreex's hallmark. And whether he is where is now because of accident or intent, he would freely admit, I think, that opioids owned so much of him. I don't know him other than through BL, but I can easily imagine that this event could have been an act of defiance on his part, a final revolt to overthrow and cast off that which held him in bondage.
And it makes me think as well. Not about how we need to be careful, it can happen to anybody, never use alone, etc. But why we're using in the first place. Why we're doing something that has led us to bondage, or puts us at risk of losing our independence, compromising our judgment.
I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, and I certainly don't want to dishonor Dave. Indeed it is my respect for his honesty that makes me ask these questions. I know I'm going to look hard. And I don't see right now how I can justify grabassing and giving fentanyl advice or the like. We'll see.
Go with God, Dave.
 
what a bummer. hope you pull through PhreeX. we all have some bad days. peace to you and your family.
 
It's been said before, but it bears saying again.
PhreeX is the last person to whom I would have thought that this would happen.
The human body (and especially the brain) has an amazing capacity for self-repair. I can only hope that he pulls through. I've never met him, but from the first post of his that I read I had nothing but the most respect to him.
Hoping for the best.
From one Dave to another, pull through man.
 
GOOD NEWS!! Dave opened his eyes when the nurse was fiddling with him. He moved his arm as if to push the nurse away. He is partially breathing on his own over the respirator. He has some response in his eyes to stimuli. They have conducted another brain wave test, but the results are not available yet.
So it is looking a little better. I want to thank everyone who has given advise, prayed, and given comfort. Bluelighters Unite and bring love.
Thanks all of you.
Still holding on,
Samantha
 
my thoughts and prayers go out to the first BLter to ever give me advice as well as his friends and family. i wish I could give you more than that. I'm focusing all my positive energies to you my friend.

I feel privledged to have shared one very wonderful conversation with Phreex, it was only because Spencer had used my AIM name and so he IMed me asking who I was, quite in a rude tone of course. I chatted with him a few hours that night and really got to see a soft side of him, in the end he had invited me (told me to bring Spencer along too) to come to the east coast to a friends party. I am thankful for that conversation, Dave you are in my thoughts and prayers. I hope that whatever the outcome that you are in a better place when you awake and that the troubles you have been facing are put to past.
