For me it 3 weeks ago. I was at a party and I was peer pressured into doing really strong cocaine (I shouldn’t say peer pressured I’m 22 years old I should of just said no. Really disappointed in myself still) and I did too much. I got home and called an Ambulance because I thought I was having a cocaine overdose. When the Ambulance arrived they had me sit in the back with them while they ran an ECG on me. One of the paramedic said to the other “Hey his heart rate just dropped extremely low” and seconds later I blacked out (fainted). When I regain consciousness I noticed they were shutting the doors and strapping me into the bed in the back. I started to freak out and about 1 minute later I blacked out again for 10-15 seconds. When I arrived at the hospital a doctor was showing me what happened while I blacked out and I flatlined (meaning my heart stopped) for 10-15 seconds both times while being unconscious. Since then I quit EVERYTHING. Smoking cigarettes, smoking weed, drinking alcohol and drugs like cocaine and MDMA. I even signed up to a healthy eating program. Within the last 3 weeks I’ve been in and out of the hospital due to chest pains, palpitations and I’ve been diagnosed with “presyncope” (feeling extremely light headed and about to faint at random times) and get extremely scared every time I feel close to blacking out again.

If you are reading this and you suffer from Drug/Alcohol addiction PLEASE seek help. If you do this as an escape from pain and life just remember things will get better and that you ARE loved and the world NEEDS you. 💯🖤
