Quaaludes have been around for a while. One of my friends put herself in the hospital taking these with alcohol. She said it was an accident but I still don't believe that. I think it was a cry for help. She has cleaned up her act since those days.
ReplyDeleteI'm reading this, just sitting here shaking my head. How can people take this stuff, knowing what's going to happen when they quit? I'm perplexed.
ReplyDeleteMy sister is dead because of she mixed her sleeping pills with alcohol. I'll always be left to wonder if it was an accident or suicide. I guess it really doesn't matter which, she's gone and knowing won't bring her back.
ReplyDeleteHey Celeste, I lost a sister too. I know hers was an accident, but it didn't help to know that. I think young people need to know and understand that you only get to die once and it's forever.
ReplyDeleteWhy would you take something that could cause fits and deaths? I really think people who do drugs have something misconnected in their brains.
