🤝 Cultural 🤝 Friends who have become drug buddies

Am I alone here with this one?

I have lost many people over the time on Heroin, some to long jail, some to death & the others have got sober & moved miles away so my Social Circle has got way smaller since I began on Heroin. I was sick over the last few days (withdrawl) & my mind was thinking all the people left I call friends are in Truth nothing but people I meet up with when scored & we do some H then say our Goodbyes & wonder off into the distance till one of us has an issue trying to score or some other issue comes up which is always related to dope & we meet up, in terms of actual people I am Social with I have nobody, literally the very few people who I speak to used to be friends like a "normal person" has but now our connection is PURE 100% Dope based & nothing more.

Am I alone here or do others have this issue too?

I had a friend who I used to do drugs with. We started out as middle school buddies and then after high school we became sort of drug buddies. Luckily we always had more than drugs holding us together in those days.

Im in the same boat and now that i dont use anymore i basicly have no more friends as my "H/same doc" friends dont see me either as i dont go out to score or use.

So when you get clean or try stopping then its like there is a period where you have to try make new friends that wont take you back from what you want to stay away from. As for trying to get back old friendship, its always hard to rekindle or fix them cause of broken trust ( most of the time the main reason ) regardless the reason they ended or parted.

So i get you 100%. Only ppl or friends i have or know are all users and using buddies but me not wanting to use, I dont really have a part or need in there life anymore. A last thought kind of thing. So kinda no real friends anymore.

I have lost many people over the time ............ too?

Wow, you would make a good friend to have and anyone would be lucky and should be honored from your presence. However when we get older we aren't exposed to big

groups anymore. Unless it's a concert or a convention or a festival on a specific day. But that isn't everyday living either. So we are lucky to have a few to have closeness with.

Could even end up being just a small community as well.

Anyway it's the quality not the quantity anyway.

And then you can still have the ones that you really don't see too often but you just know that they are out there. Sometimes you can just find someone and you don't know it

but they are just kind of there. And it's really weird but it just seems that the smaller the community the more likely you are to find a friend .. and the larger the group the more

the relationships seem less personal and significant. But we are wired that way .... a tribe of 150 is all that we can handle. Anything else is overload. Hmmm. Closeness counts

and of course one good friend can be the best !!! Better than all of the rest. But everyone matters and I hope that you can find someone cool too. Like you. It's going to be tough. Hee hee just kidding. It's like that for everyone.



Awe but you're so sweet in some kind of a kewl way. Like real hippified. But like you really deserve a friend and they should be honored to be and I'm sure happy also. But you

know they are and are lucky to have you. It's just difficult to have to worry about someone all of the time. We are not that attached, literally.

I hope you find a lot of good friends and that you know they are there. I have a friend in Jesus and that helps. But usually through time you will just find others out there that will

just always be out there then somehow and actually be around as time goes on. And yes good luck to us all.

Just talking with someone sometimes and reaching out as a friend helps sometimes so much too. Yeah, and a puppy. lool. Thanks for the friendly thead .... again.

Eye roll ... but you know it's awesome. I hope it grows and well you know, it's written in time now. Bye. The posts were already great !!

A friend in need can be a friend in deed .... but yeah they can be good ones too though. But definitely there are all types. lool

Make someone's day I guess and have a happy one too. Sometimes it's so exhausting to have a friend ... but it can be worth it too. But it's just ... drugs are a different kind of


friend and there are other paths to stay on as well. Really.
