I did a lot of work for Lifeline Publications and since that closed, Linnell Communications and what we discovered is that people can OD for some less obvious reasons such as clinical depression, aging and location. People tend to OD if they use in an unfamiliar location. I don't think any of use expected that last one to be statistically significant and thought we were seeing something else. But no, that seems to be the case.
Michael produced this video back in 2009. It's pretty direct and full on. Strong language and a lot of gallows humour but I'm in my 50s so I have been put in similar situations. The key difference being I was the one person who wasn't injecting heroin. I was always the guy who had naloxone in my pocket. Not some odd hero complex I assure you. I just don't avoid friendship based on what a person uses. I've met some great people who are or were users. But if you are around such people, it just seems sensible to make sure everyone is OK.
