I'm still using, and just found out recently that my sister has HIV, which she contracted through sharing needles with people.
How long ago was it that your brother died from drugs, Stacy?
I won't be able to post much more about this, bama. It is too triggering for me. The helplessness of watching people I care about kill themselves is not in my best interest right now.
Your situation brings up so much pain for me, not only because it is almost the exact replica of my past, but because I care about you and don't want you to die. I can't tell you how many times I have said those words.
Happy birthday, may you live to see many more.
