You know this situation,happens often. For me twice in last couple of years.
The first time some one very close who had gone off the rails in most peoples eyes,and a part time user, rang to ask about using i.v. peth, and had access to shit loads. My advice to that person was "leave it alone’" even though I’m thinking ‘oh beautiful, bring it around’. Pethidine overdose is difficult to reverse, and you don’t know when you’ve had to much.
The advice was taken for good or for bad. So keeping in contact in this instance was important.
Same deal second time around, cep’t the person went off the rails in my eyes to. But I did’nt know how my friend had been isolated from everybody else also. I thought it just me who was dudded. The only thing that kept from him away from smack were drug tests at work. So being 2week on two week off worker gave him plenty of time to get back on it. He had O.D. 4 times prior over about 15 years, but no one was there that time.
Two hundered people, went to the funeral, very emotional day, all talking about how the fuck it came to be.
One thing is for sure, my friend needed some one that night.
Yep it happens all the time.
