For those battling or know somebody battling pill addiction.
This song kinda hit home as I recently lost a best friend from pill addiction. Sorry to be a downer, but we don't know what members are facing these problems and we should take care of our own here. Hopefully this song can't help those in need.

The best way to get over an addiction to pills is to switch to smack.

Not really. Giving up is easy.

I've taken plenty of painkillers recreationally. Not regularly since college. Very glad I never got hooked on that shit. Great way to ruin your body and your life.

If a person doesn't see that they have a problem then they will sooner or later find out that they do and I'd hope and pray it's not too late for some it I can be. Others know they have a problem but suppress it with more addiction anyways. I did.

This song won't stop you from putting a bullet in your head but if you listen to Lenny Don't go and put a bullet in your head just turn your life around instead maybe you wont? I think it's a good song too but in depression you don't listen to anybody but the thought of lifes not worth the trouble and heartaches and the feel of helplessness. So it's a lot easier said than done to turn your life around but I know this if you do put a bullet in your head game over and you can't hit the reset button.

I won't put a bullet in my head, I'll just put it up to my nose.

Sometimes not giving up is just another way of giving up. |

To the point though InMem: I've seen people just lose the will to live and die well before they should have for no real reason. It's real. It happens. I've seen people live for far longer than they should have because they decided that they weren't going to die today. That's real too, that happens too. The human mind is incredibly, profoundly, amazingly, almost miraculously powerful. If you are feeling down please talk to someone who knows how to shake you out of it. If you don't have someone or it's not working then make an appointment and get some treatment.

Damn, sorry to hear about your loss. My stepdad died from it about a year and a half ago. I wasn't close with him, but my mom had been through a lot with him. It was like being imprisoned for her as he was always ****ed up, and needing to go to doctors and get his fix. It hurt her a lot when he died, but I think she's better off and more free now than she was when he was alive.
This song can pretty much tell the story of losing someone to addiction/overdose. Even though that's not how my son died, nor was he addicted the song spoke to me and helped me get through some rough times in my life after he died. This song is another by the same band about getting someone back who is addicted and trying to help them through it while fighting their own demons. And this song is about losing people who are close to us to different things. I often tear up when listening because the first verse really hits home with me. And this is basically a song about how a guy became addicted and dragged his girlfriend down with him. This guy is a recovering addict, and his songs are real life shit. It's really a beautiful song, and I've been through the same kinda thing in my life and it really makes me think how ****ed up I used to be (not that I'm not now...)

I didn't think any of my addictions were easy to quit. I can't say I quit but I can say I don't do them today and if I don't do them today I have better odds of not doing them tomorrow. So as long as I don't start up today I maybe good tomorrow & the next day. One day at a time is the best I can do It's giving me some years of sobriety so I can be thankful for each day I do have. Insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results. I had to change but no one could change me or get through to me in the abyss but was drowning in my own sorrows mostly self harm because I just didn't like myself very much. It was work to get myself a level where life was worth living.

I remember getting off cocaine and quit smoking dope because it was interfering with my drinking I'd rather get drunk and pass out. Some ten years later I had this craving that came over me and it was cocaine calling me. At first I didn't recognize it but then that craving got worse and I knew what it was because I could taste it. That was kinda scary point but I didn't go back to it but I remember having that craving. Haven't had that craving since though. I could drink 10 x more on cocaine but wouldn't get the affects I liked from booze.
