Smiley, Erik, Kurups, etc ... Cuz I am too lazy to quote, lol.
Yes, I do believe you get perma brain damage from long term drug use. I see a huge difference from year to year with my own brain function.
My toddler son was murdered 2002. You'd think I would have been the biggest heroin junkie, or worst, but I wasn't.
Prior to his death, I dabbled in my youth but when I became a mother, I didn't touch shit for a long time...weed once in a while, or pain pill here or there.
When he died, I was sober 5 yrs, I already had some brain trauma from the trauma to cope, but holy hell, the past yr and a half have been a blur. The 1st time I ever snorted roxi/opana, I found something to numb me.
Heroin...no thanks. I'm no better than they are really, because I use rx meds, yet part of me has had so much mental/physical trauma , and I've not graduated to IV use/poly use yet.
My heart goes out to you. You must be a very strong person.
