Please pass this on , you might save someone

Hey everyone , i know most of you don't know me very well here , but i just feel like i need to say this. I had a death in my family Sunday night. My 27 year old nephew overdosed on his new gf's prescription drugs. I find it ironic because that night i had a few friends over to watch a movie and i felt compelled to tell one of them that i was concerned about him because he had drank way too much one night about a month ago , and i felt like he should know that not everyone you hang out with will be looking out for you. I told him, you really scared me , i got up 4 times during the night to check on you because if something had happened , and you stopped breathing in your sleep i wouldn't have been able to live with myself. I let everyone there know, PLEASE be aware of who you are with and what you do. Not everyone will see past what you are thinking is a good time to see that you might be too impaired to take care of yourself. Imagine my horror when i received a phone call from my son the next morning telling me that the police just left , and PJ is dead. Now i am not saying i condone anyone taking drugs, prescription or otherwise. But what i am saying is please love your friends, let them know what you think about what they are doing. If i had known he considered doing this i would have tried to stop him, he wasn't a druggie or big partier , just a young man with a new GF who had a prescription. And now he's gone, leaving behind his heartbroken family and tiny daughter who will never know him now.

Oh Mis....that is just so, so sad. ((hugs)) I'm very sorry. :(

Very tragic, big cyber hug...

warm thoughts & sympathy to you and the rest of your family.

Thanks :o Maybe someone will read this , and think of someone they know and be able to help BEFORE it's too late

Hi darling,
I am so sorry to read this news. It is terrible and unfortunate. Please know there isn't enough power in all of your efforts to get someone else clean, but it's okay to love and care for them in your heart. Do not take any of this onto your own self. The drug addict/alcoholic' recovery is not in your hands.
I know your pain, I just went to a memorial for my friend Kelly who lost the battle with this own disease. Big love to you---remember, blame the disease, NOT its victim. Focus on the beauty of your friend, that was the real Shining Spirit and it's still here. :yes: Meanwhile, here's a hug and a tissue...

I'm very sorry to hear about that.

I have a friend who has made himself ill a couple of times and really should adjust his lifestyle. He needs to slow down, but I can't see that happening.

I'm so sorry about your nephew's death. :(

I'm very sorry about the death of your nephew... my prayers go to him and your family.

Misery may his soul rest in peace...

I'm really sorry! :(

i'm sorry...
