My girlfriend relasped heroin overdose

Oh god, this is awful to hear. I really really hope she will be okay. Whatever happens make sure you take good care of yourself! Ill pray for you and your girl.
 
I'm new here but I too have in a somewhat similar situation. My best friend OD'd years ago in front of me. As a youth I was big into the graffiti scene. My best friend and I had grown up together always drawing and eventually painting. My mom took him in after he was kicked from him home when he was 15 and he lived with us until we were 19, the day he died. We were painting a trolley car late one night and got rolled up on by police. We were both moderate meth users and he was carrying a pretty large bag on him. As we ran from the cops he made the fatal decision to swallow the bag. We both were caught after a short chase. As we layed face down on the gravel, handcuffed, I watch him OD in front of my eyes. It took forever for the cops to call an ambulance! He died at the hospital. I'll never forget the l look in his eyes and sound of him breathing like a race horse. He kept telling me how scared he was. Even after all these years, it makes me so sad and angry thinking about. Always remember that life is for the living. Whatever happens around us, no matter how bad things may get, we still have breath in us. These breaths equal hope for a better tomorrow
 
I have OD'd a few times and thankfully I was always found right away and received rescue breathing until EMTs arrived. they would immediately hit me with narcan and I would wake up.

I am sorry you have to go through this and I hope she comes out ok. I think in our heads we think we will OD and be saved or just die-but you never really think about the in between areas like comas and life support. Have you thought of speaking at schools or meetings? It could stop one person from deciding to use down the road. I pray she does ok and when she does come to, if she is able to, both of you should speak about what happened because its a scary truth to heroin use and very common.

My prayers are with you and her.
 
So heart breaking, I can't even imagine. This is always my nightmare situation; my wife and I are on again off again addicts and I couldn't count the amount of times we've both been extremely lucky that somebody (normally each other) was there to call an ambulance and administer CPR.

It's always a horror in my mind, that one day I'll come home and find there was no one there when my wife needed someone urgently.

So sad - and I truly hope for you she makes a real recovery - I can't imagine how you must feel.
 
Hi guys,
I just thought I'd check in and let people know what happened for anyone that's interested. My girlfriend did not make it she was on life support for a period of time and then got taken off because there was no hope of recovery. She died the end of April. Thank you to everyone that offered me some support I appreciate it. cheers
 
I am so, so sorry. How are you doing yourself? I know that a death like this sets you down on a very different road. I have been on that road myself for quite some time now. If you ever want to PM me, feel free. All my love and support to you and her family.<3
