Let's discuss harm reduction.
I was banned once from a forum because I gave this person links to a load of sites that sold codeine. Her husband apparently panicked and reported me n next day work up, BANNED.
Before you judge here's why. She was she was taking 30-50 30/500 tabs per day. Her liver was damaged; she was a carer for her father who had dementia so could not go into rehab. So basically we were there slowly watching her die. I gave her the sites to the pure stuff to save her from the lethal doses of paracetamol.
You may argue about cold water extraction. As most addicts know, the addict mind is not rational. Speaking from experience, here are a few of my thoughts of cwe "at the time" I read that codeine was lost and thought why would I use a method whether codeine would be lost, it was time-confused, I wanted it in me YESTERDAY, I also split some n was paranoid that some paracetamol still got through n the facts of CWE are not guaranteed.
Please note, I'm not trying to sway anyone away from cold water extraction, of course it's better than using paracetamol I'm trying to explain how my mind worked when in active addiction. Anyway I did tell her of that method as well but don't think she understand.
I still, to this day, feel that I did right in trying to reduce harm ie saving her from killing her. Was very worried about her for a long time but she had ceased all contact with me, I really did care about her and was really looking out for her. I did not want her to die.
Just something that brought that memory back - and I feel the need to discuss it, if ok.
Some think I did wrong, while others think I did right.
Thoughts please, and please be objective. I can take it :D
