This comment made me smile.

The sun will rise for all of us, friend. We just may not know what the land will look like when it does. 

Hell yeah, Bill. Fucking preach.

He’s preaching to me.

Addiction is a disease. So glad you’ve come out the other side. Take care, both of you.

Which is asinine, most of the time your immediate response to Narcan is instant precipitated withdrawal.

You vomit, maybe shit yourself, and have the worst feeling you've ever felt while your opioid receptors are cleaved off and replaced with an antagonist now.

Then there's the secondary reaction some face of "fuck.. I'm not dead and that was my last bag"

It's probably that kind of person who needs the wake up the most.

Unfortunately, it has become a talking point and not a useful tool in a much larger toolbox.

Just like that toolbox the same paramedics have with, ironically, fentanyl and morphine and dilaudid.

They all have their place, but none of them are a one shot fix... At all.

Would you think it was ok to not give the morphine to the guy with a broken leg from a car accident?

😡 "yeah but he knew the risks when he got in that vehicle!"

Most addicts and users are using what they know to get by.

The same idea as to why Jerry with the broken leg didn't flap his arms and fly to work.

Everything in life is inherently dangerous, we should be reducing the harm it causes without flat out prohibition.

I always find these kinds of sentiments to be arguments against ambition.

That's a great quote, really makes me feel positive about myself. Wish I could write something like that, instead of being a pathetic dipshit loser.

Just guys bein dudes

Main character shit.

People aren't obliged to look after you once you're an adult.

You get what you give.

I know a hospice nurse whose reason for opposing universal healthcare is the number of “chronic” hospice patients that are abusing the system by going into hopice and not dying.

I bet close friends and family reached out, as you'd expect in any situation.

But the millions of people who saw a random video or photo that went viral? I don't think you should expect anything more than "Oh shoot, that sucks. Hope she gets better! Anyway on to the next video!"

She looks like mini Ladd

Also it was passively agressive - actually blaming everyone that they didn't give a fuck about her

Just guys bein guys, a wee necrophilia here and there we've all been there.

^what ^the ^fuck ^are ^we ^talking ^about

I think they should, public does it to them all the time, why not full transparency on both side 🤷🏻

This is going to spiral into a Cops are a problem thing because it’s Reddit.

Overdose pictures are helpful. Drugs impact everyone and anyone. I found these types of things to be terrifying and a reason why when presented with opportunities to try certain drugs, I wouldn’t even consider it for a second.

You want to see what a normal kid from the burbs looks like if they get addicted?

It’s like the recreation of DUI accidents that schools used to put on.

The imagery sticks in your head to scare you

I can’t stand junkies.

Jonesing for a fix of attention now? Focus on your child, Ma’am.

People are not bashing her for being an addict, people are bashing her for being cringe cause she said no one on the internet reached out to see how she's doing these days, not because she's an addict, but because she is literally a stranger.

What tf are you on about??

Ugh 😑

That son will grow up to be an addict

Well I mean technically they wouldn't be an addict anymore

That's because she swapped her drug addiction for social media addiction. So yes the signs were necessary and there will be bigger signs in the next one
