Well, about 2 hours ago my aunt died at 48 due to heroin induced kidney failure. The reality of it hasn't quite set in yet.. but I do realize that 48 is way to young to die. She was addicted to heroin between the ages of 19 and 37, the age she got dialysis. I didn't post this for sympathy, because I didn't really know her too well or anything, I just posted it to help people realize how real the downsides of this drug are. And yes, she told us all "I went into heroin thinking I was only going to do it once. I had no problem regulating myself with any other drug, but heroin to me became so much more then a drug. It became my reason for living. And even though I'm constantly fighting a battle and going to the hospital, I've been so much happier while clean then when I was doing anything to shoot up."
