[Story] My Super Bowl

August 5th, 2018 I took ten Xanax, five Valium and decided to try heroin for the first time. Not a suicide attempt but a benzo addiction completely unhinged. I woke up in an ER after a Narcan shot. I had passed out in my car in the parking lot and a random stranger had called the ambulance. Doctor said five more minutes I wouldn’t be here. Two weeks ago I nearly took my own life after entering another bout of severe depression. Instead, I text my sister. Asked if I could stay with her for awhile. She said of course and I’ve been spending time with my niece and nephew as I try to piece my life back together. Cathartic and unbelievable to type all this shit out. I write this to say reading your story makes me feel hopeful, that maybe, maybe I can. Thanks for posting.
