Heroin Addict Trying to “Cold Turkey”..what Can I Do to Help??
Question by Lisa H: Heroin addict trying to “cold turkey”..what can I do to help??
I picked up an homeless acquaintance literally “off the street” …says he’s serious about trying to kick; giving him his prescription meds, Clonapin, Seroquel and Trazadone; he’s disoriented when awake; trying to keep him resting & comfortable; last fix 6am today; ANY suggestions welcome!
(he’s done the inpatient thing several times with no success)
UPDATE: Friday June 23…..I feel that I have failed my friend, but three days and three nights dealing with a heroin addict have exhausted me, mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually…..had to take him back downtown this morning as he has gotten progressively sicker…he refused to go back into a rehab facility, although I begged him to do so. However, my conscience is clear; I fed him and provided every material thing he needed; all I can do now is pray for him. A recovering alcoholic myself, I realized that I have put myself in danger of losing my sobriety, and I cannot risk that. THANKS to ALL of you for your answers, your prayers and support. Peace to all.
I’m Trying to Stop Smoking, Will It Get Easier?
Question by rileymorgan: I’m trying to stop smoking, will it get easier?
I’m on day one of my attempt to quit smoking, it’s been about 12 hours since I had a cigarette. It sucks, but the worst thing was that I was mean most of the evening. I am keeping busy, but feel like I stop and think “I’m going to get up and get a cigarette”..then I remember I can’t. This happens about 10 times every 5 minutes.
Will this go away, or even lighten up? Seems like the mean/grumpiness and the mistaken thoughts that its time to smoke are all that are getting to me, but it’s really irritating.

It will when you’re over it. Good to hear that you’re quitting cold turkey, that’s the way to do it!

It’s just short-term, you’re freaking yourself over nothing. However stay away from it you’re way too young, it’s not good on the developing brain. Coping skills is just one of the things you will lack if you continue to smoke weed. This is long term scientific studies recently collected, and was tested with ADULTS, but you should be more educated about marijuana:
Allow Daughter to Come Home From Jail or Tough Love?
Question by Ann O: Allow Daughter to come home from jail or Tough Love?
My daughter has been in jail for the past 6 weeks for breaking her probation.
She is 26 years old & has been a heroin addict for 9 years. She’s in jail because her urine screen came back dirty (positive for heroin). Six weeks ago, before going to jail, she overdosed in her boyfriends car. She had turned blue, was foaming at the mouth and wasn’t breathing. My some Miracle, the boyfriend was able to finally revive her. This is the 3rd time in 9 years that she’s overdosed. The last time was 4 years ago – which she tells me is a big improvement.
She has been to short term (1 week) rehab several times, inpatient detox 4 or 5 times, most recently a 4 month residential treatment facility (all paid for by State because she is in the Drug Court program).

How Did Elliot Smith Die?
Question by oblivious: how did elliot smith die?
Best answer:
Answer by iijakii
Elliott Smith died on October 21, 2003 in the Silver Lake neighborhood of Los Angeles, California at age 34, from two stab wounds to the chest during an emotional fight with Jennifer Chiba. [16] According to her account, the two were arguing when she locked herself in the bathroom. Chiba heard him scream, and upon opening the door, saw Smith standing there with a steak knife in his chest. She pulled the knife out of him, after which Smith collapsed and she called 911. The time of death was listed at 12:18 PM. While originally reported as a suicide, the official autopsy report released in late December 2003 left the question of possible homicide open:
While his history of depression is compatible with suicide, and the location and direction of the stab wound is consistent with self-infliction, several aspects of the circumstances (as are known at this time) are atypical of suicide and raise the possibility of homicide. These include the absence of hesitation wounds, stabbing through clothing, and the presence of small incised wounds on the right arm and left hand (possible defensive wounds). Additionally, the girlfriend’s [Jennifer Chiba’s] reported removal of the knife and subsequent refusal to speak with detectives are all of concern.
