Can't be beat alone

I OD'd on heroin a month ago. Never thought it would happen to me. After 7 years in and out of treatment, this was the final wake up call. I am doing 2-3 meetings a day and working with a sponsor; a great guy who truly cares. I have a long road ahead and many obstacles but my desire to use is positively zero!! This shit kills people, man.
I know we are all gonna die one day, but do you really want to leave the earth like that?? When I came to, I realized the pain I almost caused my family. Imagine them hearing from a coroner that I OD'd!! How would I feel if it was my kid? Its not just about me; it affects all those who love and care for me. To feel like I am hurting no one else is selfish and arrogant. What do I really have to lose getting sober- the sickness, getting beat on my last $20, worrying all the time about cops and stick up kids?? None of us need or deserve that kind of life. Thanks to AA/NA and people like you for showing me that there is a different way!! It is you guys who are truly doing God's work in this life, not those bastard, self-serving politicians and cops who pretend to care. We're all in this boat together; lets stay afloat for one more day!!! Take care, good souls.

Helping hand from Scandinavia

I'm not a heroin addict, but I'd like to be on-line/network help and friend to somebody who needs a a friend in these difficult situtations. I live in Scandinavia but if there's anybody who need this kind of help or support, I'd glad to be the one. A close friend of mine died on heroin overdose a year ago. I am alive. So, what can I do?

I just wanted to give you upmost thanks for yet another issue! I have been thinking about the dope the last couple days, and I just read you mag today. It put my life back into perspective, thanks, you may have just saved my life.
