Are you Serious (Sirius)

Are you Serious (Sirius)

Appreciatethe positive feedback from all those that didn’t take solitude in the pleasures
of this drug or what distraught that
it places on the users, let alone their families...(Hey Sirius) I feel this is
one of the many, problems with society, are shall I say (a part of
society), that is, which is, situations such as this, is, never taken serious
enough, at least not until, it all of a sudden hit home or present it’s
devastating effects on their door step and judging from your statement you
appear to place yourself in the company of
those who don’t take it serious and feels that its o.k. to set around like some
form of a zombie, waking up long enough, just to feed their veins with this
trash, rather than feeding their kids. I have seen the affects of this stuff
first hand by the users and had to actually revive someone, whom had over dosed
from this trash, with three of their kids, (4, 7, 11), watching him as he so-called
dosed up resulting in the aftermath of a deep coma, which their dad had slipped
into from shooting up, one dose after another and wouldn’t respond to any form
of anyone trying to physically wake him. It was his four year old that came to
my door stating she was hungry and dad would not wake up. Dads brother
was in the house as well, shooting up right along with the children’s dad and
when he couldn’t wake his brother, he decided to role his brother in an alley
behind their house so the authorities wouldn’t link the over dose to the
residence. As I approached the residence of this child, the dads brother was
sitting on the couch “high as a kite” with the two little boys,(7,11) sitting
beside him with looks of solemn on their faces from seeing this scenario time
and time again but this time dad and brother had gone way too far. The(11)year
old told me where his dad was, so as I observed the drag marks leading to and
entering the alley directly behind their house, I could see the Childs dad
laying on his back and if his dads brother wasn’t so screwed up on this junk,
he would have noticed that the Childs dad still was alive, yet his breathing
was so faint it would have been hard to tell  that he was still breathing
even by a paramedic .Please excuse me ladies for having to share this but after
I tried to wake him and failed. I had heard that one of the sure ways of waking
a heron over dosed was to place an abundance of ice in their trousers and the sheer
cold effect would draw them out of their despondency. So I removed this guy
from the alley and took him back home,(having to drag him),placed him fully
cloth in his bathroom with several trays of ice loaded into his trousers all
for the sake of not letting him die in front of his kids or in that alley. I knew
if I had just waited for the paramedics and did nothing, he would have surely
died. He was already knocking on deaths door with the shallow breathing. I called
the paramedics directly after the ice submerging and being in the secluded area
we were in it took almost (30) minutes for them to respond, although (10) minutes
before they arrived he began to respond and eventually came to but do you think
this deterred his era in thinking his near death experience, not to
mention right in front of his kids and left for dead by his sorry brother??
 Not one bit did it scare him straight, the following day, he was back at
it once again, zombing out. So you say don’t take this serious, (Serius), to
each his own opinion but I am pretty sure you might be the lone ranger, minus
his side kick Tonto, if you decide to just brush off behavior such as this and
even in the presence of children and as stated that was the primary aspect of
my job, (to care for those that wasn’t capable of caring for themselves),
(those kids). There’s an old saying if you have a yard full of dogs and it was
dark and all of a sudden you were bit and all you hear is just one dog barking,
normally the bite came from the guilty dog whom seems to wonna bark first,
continuously and the loudest. You seemed to bark a little, as it pertains to
this subject and took a little offense to it as well, what experiences have you
on this topic?  I am sure as well that there are many that have a
different opinion than yours as well, when it comes to what deity they worship,
be it heaven or hell and when you place yourself into the poem, you are
reciting, you sometimes portray or become that of the character you are
quoting in the poem and his belief is attached as yours and the section you
took from the content,{pray to God he doesn’t care, death sits quiet and polite},was the
characters belief, never will be mine. I am part of that lunatic crew you spoke
of and there are a lot of us...

Hi Jim I'm am thankful that the drug in your post isn't as rampant up here to see it everyday on the street yet. I say yet because more and more people are bringing it up here to share with the young kids of Alaska. Its sad when our dope user ratings were so minimal for heroin have spiked by hundreds in the past few years. Right now it's a quiet drug but how long will it be a massive problem where I'm living too. We do have our drugs and our troubles are meth and cocaine were are seeing methadone users spike up here but nothing like alcohol and meth and Cocaine.......I've seen what you have in a different form but all ends the same when drugs effect the home like that. I'm sorry you had to experience the sorrow of that situation and pray those poor children didn't have to live there whole childhood like that.......

Sayed and Alicia,

Thanks for the response and as you stated Sayed, it isn't a block or a city problem, it is a societorial problem being experienced by all, be it one drug are the other...Alicia really loved the way you summed it up,it all results in the same manner in the end, which is death no matter what drug is of the users choice.....I have been out of California and now resides in Florida and i too hope those kids came out o.k.,although i am sure the State of California stepped in and removed them from the situation, because the mom was just as bad as the father on this drug and meth.(crystal) and this life was all they allowed themselves to know..."Looking as we speak for your post Sayed.."

Thanks to you both,   

Jim Arnold

hi jimmy i cant believe how much your story is so much like where i live i have had problems with my own son although it was light drugs but even that led him to a path of being suicidal .i know without my help and others today he would not be here even when he split with his girlfriend he would not have  been so bad but for the drugs hes better now but even the lightest of that vermin can leave a lifetime mark.people have an important choice its which one they think is important especially those with children.

Tina that just speaks on you being, a mom who cares about what
your kids do when they are home and when they are not...I take my hat off to
you and i guarantee you, when he has reached his adult hood and the
baton you have passed from you to him, he will then realize why mom
was so persistent in her concerns of his well being and that the same advice given
by you, he will in turn be visiting those same blue prints passed on from you,
to he, and now to be passed on to his future offsprings and then he will then
recolect moms practices and preachings and will set back and laugh but at the
same time, thank her for her dearest concern and for her just being his
mom... You are right how ramped it has become and how easily it all can take it's toll on anybody, young and old..Take Care and "Happy early Mothers Day."

Jim
