9-24-15 Pandemic

Sadly, it has become apparent that the word "heroin" immediately makes others pass judgement.  Most silently but some do aloud. I am not sure if people feel like "gosh she must be stupid IIII would never stoup THAT low". Funny thing is, I used to pass the same judgement before I found myself in a full blown addiction that started with "legal" heroin. People who even use the "legal" heroin don't even realize that is what they are using and once they do come to the realization,  their addiction tells them "well its okay because my doctor prescribes it." Prescription narcotics are classified as an OPIOID is it a coincidence the heroin is an OPIATE? I think not! I guess What's saddest of all I feel like when I speak of this it falls on deaf ears. I just read an article about a girl who was 27 yrs old and died from an overdose. ..oh did I mention she was a BIOCHEMICAL engineer?  I am not alone when I think to myself "wow, you are an industrial designer,  those kinds of people don't find themselves in this kind of predicament.  Right, because they are successful and smart. What happened to you?!?" It is evident that they DO! And I think sometimes it's much harder for someone who has found career success to reach out for help because we are so ashamed to tell anyone how badly we need help.  "Successful people don't do this sort of thing" is what we think....wrong addiction does not discriminate.  When will the world open their eyes to just how bad this problem is? How many more will have to DIE before America puts a ca-bosh on the freely handing out of narcotics? !? This is no longer an epidemic but it has evolved to a full blown PANDEMIC. #prayingfordeliverancefromaddiction
