Another Casualty For Our "recreational" Drug User Community

[mikey4444]

We had a long heated debate on here about drug addicts recently and I was wold, quite tartly, that there was a difference between drugs addicts and recreational drug addicts. Well, here is another "recreational" drug user that won't be wasting any more of her money ::::

14 years on from her mothers similar self-imposed death, Peaches follows suit. I hope somebody will be watching her little child very closely for the rest of its life.

Naomi ...interesting story.

Peaches was a very wealthy person, or, at least, had access to money. She could have afforded the best drug addiction that money could buy, but she still died. Nobody on here is saying that drug addiction is easy to fight, and that is my point. Perhaps the best way to stop being a heroin addict is not to start taking it in the first place. Peaches must have known that taking her first shot of heroin was a mistake, but she still went ahead...a great sadness. She moved in circles that have a relaxed attitude to drug use, which must have been a major influence on her later drug addiction.

Hope those kids are safe.

mikey your words

> I may not be an expert here but I would bet a lot of money that drug dealers are able to supply both hard and soft, and quite willing and happy to do so. <

you say i talk rubbish but the ones that i have known about do not touch h and crack etc

i will repeat as you must know more dealers than me then

that that the ones i have known about do not and will not

[ummmm]

Mikey...you're showing your ignorance again. Many drug dealers would touch drugs like heroin.

Mikey, I'll ask again. Why don't you lose weight?

[ummmm]

*wouldn't touch heroin.

perhaps the two alkies i know near me should never have had their first drink because they must have known they would end up alkies

//By the way, it seems that you had a narrow escape from your previous involvement with a heroin user kvalidir, and I hope you are not unlucky enough to be involved with anybody like him in the future.//

Whooooah, hold it right there Mikey. I didn't have a 'narrow' escape' I made an informed choice after I found out someone I was seeing who is a very nice, very decent human being I should add, was taking heroin regularly. I suggested he stop, he said no need, so I said sorry then but I don't think this will end well for you so I'm out of here because I don't want to see that happen to you. There is nothing wrong with him as a person ( any more than there is anything wrong with my ex-addict father who was about the best Dad I could wish for incidentally) he is just making choices I find don't gel with how I personally want to lead my life ( I don't smoke, drink to excess or take drugs because I'm a control freak about my health being diabetic and having thyroid issues), he's still the same person and I hope he stops taking heroin but I didn't have a 'lucky escape' - things are not inevitable because you are 'around drugs', I made a choice, some people can't do that for whatever reason because people are fallible.
Gettng to Naomi's excellent point, why don't you lose weight? Type 2 can disappear altogether if your weight is under control you know.

I'll ask again - Mikey, could you define 'recreational drug use'.
