At the end of this story, you'll know why I wrote this, complete with photos. PLEASE READ:🚨 Im an ex H addict. The final straw that made me quit? My gf and I were living in ATL at the time. We had just scored some H, a bad batch I'm guessing. We pulled into the local McDonald's parking lot to get high. After I did my thing, I could tell I missed the vein slightly. After a day, my forearm starting hurting. After 2 days it was red, day 3 was very swollen. After day 4 the pain was unbearable and I started getting a fever. I decided to go to the local CVS minute clinic where they gave me some weak antibiotics. They dud nothing. Day 6 my arm was so swollen and painful, the wind hitting it almost brought me to my knees. I decided to go to the emergency room where they put me on IV antibiotics for 12 hours and sent me home. After being home another 24 hours, the redness started creeping up my arm and shoulder so I went back to the ER. They put me on the heaviest IV antibiotics they had, vancomycin, for 24 hours to no avail. The redness hit my chest. That night the doctor poked her head in the door and said, "the IV antibiotics aren't working, the cellulitis is too advanced. We're going to take you into surgery first thing in the morning nd amputate your arm at your elbow or you'll die," then she left. My heart sank. I thought to myself, "this can't be happening." But it was. This is the fresh hell I created. I also thought the doctor was very rude to just pop her head in the door, not even stepping into the room to tell me this horrific news. There I lie in bed, alone, hundreds of miles away from my family, contemplating every decision I had made up to that point. The movie Requiem for a Dream popped into my head. If you know you know. Morning came and they prepped me for the hand surgeon. All I could think about was losing my arm. My dominate arm at that. I played sports my entire life. This can't be happening. It was. The surgery last a couple hours. I came to and immediately looked to my right. I could barely see my fingers sticking out of the bandages. The doctor said, "the infection was only in one of your arteries in your arm. I took about 6 inches of that artery out and was able to save your arm." I was elated to say the least, but the nightmare wasn't over. I found out why the doctor was so rude. I had been in that same hospital a week prior bc I OD'd. Word spread that I was an H addict. So the lead doctor took me off pain meds a day after my surgery. The wound care crew came in to change by bandages. They had packed my arm with dry gauze (not the treated, slick gauze that made it easy to change and come out of the wound easily) and tape so it had dried in my wound for over 48 hours. When they started taking the gauze out I could see the little capillaries sticking to the gauze. To say the pain was excruciating would be as big of an understatement as anyone could possibly make. They sent me home after a few days (I didn't have insurance) with a box full of wound care supplies. I was to change the bandages 4x a day myself. 3 days after doing that, I packed my stuff, left my gf, and drove home to TX where all my family was. I could write a 6-book series about all the horrific sh*t. Thought I'd share one story from that bad time in my life. 6 OD's and a near amputation later I've been clean from H for 18 years. I have a family of my own and the best, most handsome 5yo son I the world. I wrote this bc I just learned another buddy if mine from the old days just passed from drugs. I see ppl struggling with addiction on here, and if this helps one person, it was well worth it. I've lost 8 buddies from drugs and everything that comes with it. If you know someone struggling with addiction share this with them, like, comment, repost. Photos in comments.

Everyone should listen to this story. Especially the gun control nuts.

🚨Breaking News🚨 California and @CAgovernor just announced they will post the 2026 election results in June of 2028. How is this acceptable??

Casey Anthony knows damn well the liberal feminists are the only group radical and retarded enough to accept her. She should be too ashamed to even step out of the front door, but no, she's an unapologetic radical liberal boss girl with nothing to offer except vitriol and a slit.

If you're ever in Arlington, TX, and have never been to the Medal of Honor Museum, you should definitely check it out.

🚨 PERMANENTLY BANNED FROM X CREATOR REVENUE 😳 I’ve just been permanently removed from the Creator Revenue program for “sexual and nudity content”… except I have never posted anything like that. Not once. My account is clean. No violations. Yet X has permanently cut off my monetization with zero evidence provided. This needs an immediate review. If this can happen to me for content that doesn’t exist, it can happen to any creator. @X @Premium @Safety @lindayaX @elonmusk please investigate and reinstate my Creator Revenue access. Who else has been hit with false monetization bans?

Far better

Yep. It's the definition of insanity.

Who's sitting, who's standing, who's wearing heals? Guy or girl?

How about @SStricklandMMA what a fkn fight!! Well deserved Strickland!! Bringing the belt back to the great USA!!

Just got this is the mail. Wtf is this? Trump didnt endorse Cornyn did he?

We dip everything in dipping sauces. Why do we spread mayo, mustard, etc on sandwiches? You give up all control with the initial spread. Dipping gives you control over every bite. Why do we do this with sandwiches, but dip everything else? It doesn't make sense.

Hasan Piker knows communism from his $3m dollar mansion than the Vietnamese refugee who escaped it. *Must watch*

Legal vs Illegal for dummies Great post

How awesome would it be if California still ends up with a Republican governor and Swallowswell was sacrificed for nothing

We had these noises that came out of our mouths

This is pretty much a must these days with the activist judges and DAs who won't send evil to prison.

I continue to not want to hear another leftist bitch about anything anymore.
