We can definitely end the OD epidemic with Narcan.</p><p>But the epidemic *isn’t* over. Why? Because the people who “love” addicts are more attached to societal ideas about what is acceptable than they are to keeping their loved ones alive.</p><p>Maybe I’m too bitter. Maybe it’s selfish of me to expect people to love me if I’m using. That’s part of the reason I got clean after all, so my friends and family would talk to me again. But I tell you what, I can’t stay clean AND feed the voice that says “you’re not inherently worthy.”</p><p>idk, I’m just not this used to always being so bitter and angry. </p><p>Never Use Alone Hotline: 800-484-3731</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/addiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>addiction</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/recovery" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>recovery</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/heroin" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>heroin</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/cocaine" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>cocaine</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/crack" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>crack</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/crackcocaine" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>crackcocaine</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fentanyl" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>fentanyl</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/OpioidCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>OpioidCrisis</span></a></p>
