about a week ago, i ran short on my meds, and went to my "cousins" house to arrange a swap to cover me through the weekend, no big deal.....so we are sitting there bullshitting and he/she says to me that was so and so on the phone and they are coming over to grab 3 blues. now this person as i go through the family tree is my second cousin and is really the niece or nephew of my connect, and the son/daughter of my close cousin. I really didnt intend on this being that hard to follow but as i write it out, you can maybe understand why i dont know what to do. So im still there when they come by to pick up, and are obviously fucked up because they shook my hand and didnt realize that i was their cousin,they claimed they had been smoking weed, but seemed really really sketched out lol not to mention about 3-4 weeks earlier i was at their house for a cookout, so i should have been fresh in their mind or lack there of. now from the stories i get from connect, that this isnt the first time they have been over to cop, and this person actually got a 40mg opana that i was supposed to get, lol bastard.....now the connect says that he or she will take liquid methadone if no pills are available, this tells me that this person is not just trying to get high, or a weekend warrior but is a little further along and is trying to stay right and not be sick. This person is only 18-19 and from what i hear is stealing from their mother (my close cousin) and their brother (2nd Cousin?) From the sounds of all these bits of info, like i stated before, i think they may be deeper in this fucked up game than they think they are, fuck i mean if they are tooting 40mg opanas and taking liquid methadone to stay right, sounds like they are in the big leagues ya know????? Should i say anything to my cousin (their mother) about it??? if something were to happen and they end up a heroin junky or even worse were to die of a heroin or pill and god knows what else overdose, we would all be a mess.............. Or not really say anything about anybody on either end, i could just be like look i think you need to slam a piss test down in front of said person and dont let off of it till you see them fill it, if that were to be enough???? Please any thoughts and/or suggestions are welcome, please if you have nothing constructive to say dont post.....but i know many of you on here are, or have been in this situation, or wish someone would have posted a question like this for yourself or a family member...... THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR TIME AND INPUT ON THIS MATTER, MEANS THE WORLD TO ME!!!!!
Get involved immediately. I have never had to deal with something like this from a member of my family, but I have the perspective of growing up with friends and going up the ladder with them so to speak from drug to drug. I've seen so many of my friends the same age or just a little older fuck up their lives because of opiates, especially because of the most sinister of all drugs, Heroin. I won't ever forget visiting my friend in the IC of a hospital after he overdosed on Heroin. I aint any better, I was shooting up when I was fucking 17. I'm the only one of my friends not to fuck up their lives in some way, God knows how, but I'm not unscathed. I think ill have the craving for just one more good shot until the day I die. I wish somebody had pulled me aside, made me look in the mirror to see what I had become. I wont ever forgive myself for not doing something, saying something to the friends I had before they fucked their lives up. I think you should talk to the person, not in a confrontational way but in a im worried because I care about you and I know what leads down the path your on and I don't think you understand what you are getting yourself into way. Remember they're young and any sort of aggressive move on your part will likely end with a fuck off, I know what im doing from them. And of course as im sure you know opiates make people very good at lying to themselves, that coupled with the im invincible and I know what im doing attitude the person is bound to have at their age is going to make things very hard. It may be a slow process but if you really want to help this person than that's what it's going to take. Now if the caring and understanding way doesnt work, well more extreme measures might have to be taken but I would leave that as a last resort because I have seen extreme measures always either work completely or kill any chance of helping the person. I wish you the best my friend and I have alot of respect for you for trying to help your family member out. Like I said earlier I wish somebody had said something to me, and I will never forget that I didn't help at least one of my friends before it was too late.
