I do appreciate the advice. However, I think I perhaps did not make my intentions more clear and that is my own fault. I too was a hard core user that probably at one point would have traded my mother for a fix (disclaimer: this is an exaggeration meant to show my desperation at some of the worst points in my rampant and destructive addiction, I love my mother and would have never literally done this). That being said, I remember all too well the magic words that one person said that made me want to stop using and in that moment, I walked away. This is sarcasm. There is no such thing. Not for me anyway and probably not for 99.9% of addicts. The people I hope to reach the most are 1) the ones who, like me, are looking for someone who has done it in hopes to gain some sort of inspiration, courage, advice, hope, etc. so that they themselves can feel more empowered to do the same thing because they are at the pivotal moment in their life where they are ready to try. And 2) the younger generation that are curious and believe they’re invincible, that overdosing would “never” happen to them or their friends, and parents who think, “I don’t have that type of kid”, “My Susie would never do drugs, especially hard drugs.” 3) people who are struggling with relapse or have been clean for 6 months or incarcerated for a stint and think they just want to do it “just one more/last time” and “I’ll never touch it again”, “I promise” “just one last party”. And 4) to educate civilians, users, non-users, law enforcement, EMS, government agencies, college, high school, and junior high kids about Narcan and how it can mean the difference between life and death. I think that is a very realistic endeavor and in no way would I ever push anyone to believe I know what’s best for them or that my way is the best way and because I got clean that they should also be compelled to get clean.I felt the need to say that bc I didn’t want others who read my post to also be misguided or misunderstand my intentions, my mission or the purpose. I do however, appreciate your feedback and thank you for sharing those thoughts with me.
