lunasoul7137 @mjos1120 I’m going to do the same and post this in my closet. I’ve lost too many family and friends because of this disease. Thank you for making this part of your Closet. 💕💕💖

Nov 08Reply

luvjojos_closet @lunasoul7137 @carolhazen You guys rock! I would love it if you put this out to as many people as possible. I live in a small area of PA. Our police dept is only part time if that tells you anything. But the police, when they are working, have to carry narcan. At least once a month there is another death…

Nov 08Reply

luvjojos_closet @lunasoul7137 @carolhazen I can stand on my front porch and actually see 3 houses where kids lost their lives. This epidemic has been on my doorstep with loved ones. And no one is outraged by this. The hardest part is the helpless feeling because I am the only one outraged.

cupofjoe @mjos1120 I did my thesis on the crisis that hadn't happened yet... and now... it's real.

Nov 08Reply

luvjojos_closet @cupofjoe It is ravaging our country. Most people, I have spoken to, look at an addict as lower or less than them. The attitude that addicts should just pull themselves together, they are not my problem, stop being so selfish, I could go on and on. I am not sure if I am wording this right but....addicts are being seen as the drug they use and not as the person stuck inside the drug.

Nov 10Reply

luvjojos_closet I have never met or heard of an addict that wasn't using that drug to numb something inside themselves. I am in no way saying that addicts are not selfish and all of those things. But that is the drug not the person. Unfortunately that is impossible to explain to a child. When I see these kids trapped, I picture a syringe with a drop coming out with a face inside that drop. That is their prison.

luvjojos_closet @cupofjoe the above comment was for you. Sorry about that.

kgsouthbeach As a recovering addict (Opiates) I cannot tell you just how true that post is. I've been sober for six years, but my husband and I are still paying for the costs incurred while I was using. It is absolutely the WORST thing that can happen to someone. Desperation, loneliness, anxious, cravings so bad you cannot think of ANYTHING else and you will do anything to get your next dose. It's HORRIBLE! I was NOT the same person when I was using.

Nov 11Reply

luvjojos_closet @dndkelly Thank you for sharing. It really means alot. You have incredible strength. Im not sure if you read the other comments but I am looking from the outside and I do think that your true self is locked inside that drug and it is truly amazing that you could break free.

findingdoc1 @cupofjoe I Lost my Amazing 20 year old daughter to an accidental overdose of Vicodin. She was 3 months away from her associates degree where she spent most of the time on the Deans list of excellence...

Nov 12Reply

cupofjoe @findingdoc1i am so sorry. I know what it is to lose a child. That and both parents all in close proximity. I know that what we do now matters for them. And that's what keeps us going.

Nov 12Reply

luvjojos_closet @findingdoc1 Thank you for sharing. I think it is important to put faces, names and experiences out there. This is a horrible epidemic that is only getting worse. If we can start talking about the person/people who are fighting this just maybe we can raise awareness. Heck we can stop seeing the drugs and START SEEING THE PERSON that is stuck inside.

Nov 12Reply

luvjojos_closet @cupofjoe @findingdoc1 I am very sorry for your losses. I lost a son myself and I know the void it leaves in your heart. My oldest son went thru a period, as a teenager, of using opioids and self mutilation. Luckily we were able to have a judge admit him to a facility for help. In PA the law states that any person of the age 14 or older is responsible for their own mental health. Which is another thing that needs to change.

beadmoneyarts Thank you so much for sharing. As a recovering addict of five years, I have seen, time and time and time again, sober friends go back out and lose their lives so quickly. You think "just once and then I'll be done again" but that one time could be your last. I put my parents through so many sleepless nights, it makes me sick to think about, especially now that I have my own little one. I'm sending out prayers and lots of love to you and the other commenters on this post! ❤❤❤

peacegoddess ❤️Thank you for the post. My 20 year old twin boys just lost there 18th friend and my niece her two closest friends💔 It’s everywhere and moving fast. I’m sending prayers love and light to all🥰

findingdoc1 @luvjojos_closet That law is horrible. All the pharmaceutical companies are making billions and we are losing PEOPLE we LOVE!!! We can change a lot with awareness and love. Love Always 🌻☮️

retocco @luvjojos_closet such a great statement and unfortunately, so true that people who are ignorant about addiction think they can cast judgment and think its so easy to just quit. Like you can snap your fingers and be rid of it. Thank you for sharing!

topsyturvycnsyn This posting has the potential of reaching and touching so many people who need to share their experiences & feel a connection with others. No shame, no judgement & the ability to take in all the compassion offered from all of us. Beautiful of you to create this.

Nov 24Reply

topsyturvycnsyn I work with high risk pregnant mothers and it is heartbreaking how many of these women are addicts. NAS (Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome) is a horrible set of symptoms affecting the newborns of these mothers but because of more awareness & healthcare professionals working hard to treat mother & baby there is more opportunity to help these families. xoxoxo Shelley

damaralph @carolhazen thank you for sharing your story. Many blessings for the new year🙏

damaralph @luvjojos_closet thank you for spreading awareness. My family has also been affected by this terrible addiction and it’s so hard to get your loved ones to pick up the pieces but it CAN be done. Wishing many blessings for you this new year!

Jan 03Reply

damaralph @luvjojos_closet you are so correct. Many addicts are beautiful humans who just got lost along this journey of life. It happens, it’s real and they should never be judged. Addiction just doesn’t happen, addicts carry so much pain around with them, support and the will to live is the biggest gift we can give them.

Jan 03Reply

damaralph @dndkelly congrats to you! Way to go! Thank you for sharing your story! What the world doesn’t understand is that addiction can happen to anyone. And I believe everyone deserves a chance to get healthy and stand tall! So refreshing to hear success stories like yours!

listitluxe Thank you for sharing this and being open about a subject thats hard to talk about 💕 I am sober in revovery and am too open about it sometimes, but it is because I would never wish this disease on even my worst enemy or the pain I caused my family and loved ones that I can never undo, only never be that person again and help others from doing the same. I’m sorry if you are experiencing pain from loved ones you have that are suffering or have been taken by this disease 💕❤️💕❤️

listitluxe @onerockgypsy Congrats on 10 years!! I just posted a little about myself but I am also in recovery and have been opiate free about 3 years and almost 1 year completely sober so I hae major respect for the hard work it takes and Congrats On 10 Years!!!! 🥳🎉🥳🎉🥰🥰

Like, we just did Fleetwood Macs tour. And we host events for trainings, etc Its called overthebridge.org if you're interested. A portion of my closet goes to this NP. 😍🙏🤘⚡🌹

karmaprevails Yes that is very true & hits closer to home than id like to admit. Any kind of addiction hurts the people that the addict themselves care and love for the most along with killing themselves inside not even realizing that they themselves are walking around everyday dying a slow painful death and feeling non existant with nothing but darkness consumes them. Thanks for posting that. Good reminder.

Jan 25Reply

karmaprevails @luvjojos_closet you are so right! Once an addict becomes a victim of an addiction or disease their family and loved ones usually think they can help them and aometimes it does help with rehabs and such but the alternatives are jails or institutions if were lucky or death which is the easy way out for anyone with alcoholism or drug addiction. Fortunately after

Jan 25Reply

karmaprevails @luvjojos_closet somebodies got a plan for me because after 5 rehabs and jails, institutions &DEATH...Im still walking around today alive and stronger than ever before . Once you lose control that person you use to know and love is non existant until they can manage to find themselves agin of possible at all. Im sorry for your loss and I will share this post with all my social media accounts as well as here in this community.

karmaprevails @luvjojos_closet Ive actually been a recovering addict & alcoholic and sober for a little over 3 years now. So it is possible. Keep hope.

My closet is dedicated to my VERY BEST Friend of over 35 years, my Matty, whom lost the battle this past Summer 😢 My empathic 💓 told me there was something special about you Sista. This is beautiful that you posted & we, as a whole, are fighting this battle together, for Addiction affects us all in some way. God bless you my Poshing Friend🙏

lasvegasnv @luvjojos_closet Great post and so very true. The addiction includes millions of elderly who easily receive opiate and sleeping pill prescriptions from their Dr as a cure all for everything but creates an addiction. Thank u for your post.
