My little brother's cremated remains arrived by a special delivery today. Our family had little to no idea of my brother's opiate addiction until he was found dead a week ago.
I know that if you are reading this thread, you are seeking info and probably think quitting isn't in your future; I get that. We all have our demons, I suppose. But my brother's addiction isolated him from us for years (it's all coming together now that we know more facts). Maybe he felt alone? Maybe that's how you feel? I'm here to tell you there are so many left devastated now that he is gone, and I'll bet he would have never realized how many loved and respected him.
At least let your loved ones know it wasn't their fault... or that you were happy in your addiction. Write your note now, folks. Let your family and friends know where you want to be buried, where your important papers are, etc. I guess it will catch up with you, and at least your family won't be left shattered like we are today.
Warmest wishes to you all. I pray you can find a way to kick this habit--I'm sure it's really tough, but something tells me you are worth it. Even if you don't think you are. Peace and blessings.
