My fiancee & I just lost a friend last week to a heroin od so I understand your pain.
I'm trying my best to cope, focusing on other things instead. Best not to dwell, just think of the good times & all the laughs you shared, mourn but don't let it take over your life. I'm a firm believer (thanks mum) that while they're no longer physically here, they're always with us. An idea expressed by everyone at the wake, we tried to remember the fun times, his "going out song" was 'The Final Countdown' which he would've loved & we joked that he was standing around getting angry that he couldn't have a beer haha.
They're in a better place & they've served their purpose here in our physical world.
I hope you get through this, if you need someone there are helplines and all of us here on BL!

I know that losing a person is not easy but if anything your appreciation for actual drug use should decrease tenfold...
meaning: your determination to overcome the more far-reaching, insidious effects that you're currently experiencing should be a stronger want than that which continues to perpetuate the cycle.
Be strong!

I know how you feel! Over the last 3 years ive watched 8 of my friends die due to some sort of opiate related overdose. Its a very sad thing to experience, but be STRONG and remember what those drugs did to your friends.
You can make it through. You know your friends would hate to see you relapse over them, so try and remember the positive experiences you shared with them.
I know I felt an overwhelming need to use when my first friend passed, but I checked myself and realized relapsing would only make things worse.
Keep telling yourself you will persevere, and everything will be ok.

totach I am so sorry to hear this man 
May your friend R.I.P
I know you're hurting and you're tempted to use to deal with the grief, but this is even more of a reason to continue being clean. Do it in honour of the friends you've lost, stay strong for them okay?

I like to think of it as my friends going to a place where drugs are better than heroin, free, and legal. I often smirk to myself about lost friends when I picture this. I can sometimes hear them laughing, saying "dude, you have no idea what you're missing"
