I am grateful I never got into drugs and never became an alcoholic. I have alcoholics on both sides of my family for at least two generations but I never liked the feeling of being out of control or the feeling of being high. Drugs were around from the time I was in my early teen but they never tempted me. I even hate too take pain meds stronger than aspirin.

I have no idea what daemons this young woman faced, never walked in her shoes. I just hate the thought of her young life lost.

Folks drink alcohol and don't become alcoholics, people smoke pot and don't ruin their lives, people can recreate with drugs and not become addicted, millions do and have done just that.
It's the people's choice, and in today world of warnings and rehab help, there is no real excuse other than that is where they choose to be.

Still sad to see people do that to themselves/

When my kids were in their late teens I took them down to skid row in Vancouver BC several times and showed them what it could be like if thats what they chose.
We are all one step away from that type of life, actually there are lots of very educated people living that lifestyle, my brother was one of them.

He had a subcription to Time magazine, but lived on the street, my family and I cried enough tears but it did no good, I fuggin hate drugs.

I do. She was somebody's child. I have a daughter. Most of all, I'm a Christian and Jesus would have me care.

Unfortunately we have some POS on this forum who make comments to get attention. Best thing to do is to put them on ignore.

You're correct, but EdM isn't one of them. Frankly his comment surprised me. Everybody is welcome to their own opinion.

I care too. That was somebody's daughter who they cherished and loved as I cherish and love my girl. That was a baby 22 years ago with parents who had hopes and dreams that did not include suicidal hanging.

God's peace to all involved.

I was wondering how long it would take someone to make an idiotic statement here. Congrats, EdM you win that title. Who cares? Perhaps her parents, or her grand parents, siblings, or maybe the neighborhood kids she grew up with. How 'bout the cops and paramedics who had to deal with this? I wonder if anyone will "care" when you pass? If they read your callous post here, fewer of them will. Get off your high horse and quit passing judgement on others. If this was your daughter, would you care? I'm guessing you would.

I watched my beloved father die from alcoholism. Even back in the days when I was running the bar scene with my buddies, I knew that just wasn't for me. I guess watching my dad die kept me clean. Whatever the case, it's such a shame to see young folks headed down this disastrous path.

Life is full of minefields when you're young. EdM has apparently been lucky enough, along with all those he loves to have avoided them. Some aren't so fortunate.

Yeah, but statements like he made don't exactly endear him to the rank and file here.

I bet not many would be licking her crotch if she was a Syrian refugee that bought the heroin with her 'relocation' money.


We make choices in life.

A lot of people may have cared but she chose to do the drugs , refused to stop , and chose to hang herself. I can't blame anyone but me for the time I spent drinking my life away it was I who chose to stop. I have little pity for the woman. Her life is what she chose to make of it and when to end it.

Your wife talking again?

I too agree with this, yeah we got some beer once and awhile and maybe a half pint of Segrams between the five of us that were tight, but not drugs of any kind.

sorta sad, but in reality, just another life style choice gone awry. Life is full of choices.

Luck, that's some funny sheit, you must have been raised Baptist.

At least I was raised.

This young woman, for what ever reason felt the need to escape reality with heroin. Hanging herself was the ultimate escape from reality.
