Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: Waking Up on the Other Side....
Personally I'd like to see a warning label on every bottle of soda, every candy bar, every donut and muffin! I think the obesity epidemic continues to claim a lot of victims and I think is very much contributing to the decline of the US. I think addictions have to be dealt with on the physiological level too because they exist on that level, even the food addictions. It's not even enough to scare people about it. Johnny Gray has an interesting take on celebrities, that they take on a lot of energy from their audiences. Obviously some can handle it better than others.

Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: Waking Up on the Other Side....
Seraph, though it may well be true that drug dealers are selfish, I don't think that label, or any labels really, are gonna be much help in dealing with the problem. Drug users need to be helped on the physiological level as well as psychological. These addictions, even behavior ones like gambling, have strong chemical bases. I agree with you that people will look for someone to blame. But I think that the screwedupness or imbalances of our whole society is to blame. For example, why do people become drug dealers? I've heard that it's to support their family! I'm making a joke but I do think the financial imbalances create a lot of fear and desperation in people. And then people take desperate measures.

Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: Waking Up on the Other Side....
With heroin, it's worse than just chemical or psychological. Heroin use permanently changes the physical structure of the brain. Once a person has become addicted, even if they stop using and stay clean for decades (as Hoffman did), they still have the brain of an addict and are thus at very, very high risk of relapse at any time. Drug users need to be helped on the physiological level as well as psychological. These addictions, even behavior ones like gambling, have strong chemical bases.

Ann, I was making reference to some TV shows in which people become drug dealers to support their family. Selfish is a strange word.

[FairfieldLife] RE: Waking Up on the Other Side....
ReI think the idea was that addicts were selfish, we already know dealers don't give a crap about their customers.: Yes - it was drug users I referred to. The point was that people who are prepared to put themselves out for others (eg, mothers raising children) don't tend to use drugs; people whose approach to life is essentially self-centred are more likely to gravitate towards drug use. So there's a correlation between selfishness and drug abuse. As that's a judgemental statement people don't like to say it but I suspect it's true (if you throw in a lot of caveats and exceptions to the rule). But it's possible that Ann's right and we're putting the cart before the horse: becoming drug-dependent makes you self-absorbed as a necessary by-product.

And that benefits others. One of life's wonderful ironies! But I didn't say that. I never said to be selfish is to take good care of themselves, in fact, in the case of addicts they make all the wrong decisions. They hurt those who love them, they abandon them emotionally if not physically, they degrade their bodies, imperil their jobs and the list goes on and on. When you are an addict nobody benefits, at least in the short term. With luck and a lot of grace one can emerge stronger, smarter, wiser and so can those who love the addict but it is a damn hard and long road and that particular journey does not end with abstinence.

This is why this has a tragic element for me; I am pretty sure, can't tell you exactly why and I could be very wrong, that Phillip didn't mean to die. There have been plenty of overdoses that didn't mean to die, but dead they are. I had just been listening to NPR coming home from work and hearing about the increase in deaths due to heroin laced with fentanyl and then the very next day I hear of Phillip's death. I guess we can only conjecture on what the death experience would be having overdosed and, unwittingly at that. Is there confusion? Fear? Is one stuck between living and dying somewhere on some plane? Or is one simply deader than a doornail with nothing to show for it but a flaccid corpse with drug paraphernalia sticking out of one's arm?

Re increase in deaths due to heroin laced with fentanyl : That's a possible explanation.
