my little brother RIP

My little brother suffered from a drug addiction, none of us really know exactly which drug, but I'm guessing a few. I've seen him using crystal meth, and marijuana, and have heard about him using heroin. He died 3 years ago from an overdose. It was the hardest time in my life, for me and my family. And what bothers me the most is I could've done something to help him, but I thought there was nothing I could do and that maybe its just a phase that he'll grow out of it. :-/ He was 21 when he died. He would be turned 25 next tuesday.

I wish I could help you out with this but I know nothing about withdrawals. Have you tried searching google? I've noticed you havent gotten any replies off here, I really wish you would. Try asking also one of the professionals on this site. I have noticed they have a few. send them a quick e-mail thats what I would do. I'm sorry I couldn't be of any help. But I'll pray for you and I hope things get better.

Find a boyfriend you can stick to and have sex with him all you want. Definately dont have sex with your friends boyfriends thats the worst feeling in the world for them trust me.
Go to a gynocologist and find a cure for your STD. Also talk to them about your problem, I'm sure they could refer you to someone that can help.
Dont go sleeping around with lots of guys, like that stays on ur reputation forever. Do you want the guy you marry to know that you slept with that many guys? Or would you rather him know that your all his? Imagine if your like 43 and you ran into one of the guys you slept with in the past, and they tell your husband "oh i slept with her a few years ago" thats the worst feeling for him. Thing about the future not just now and try controling your self, no matter how hard it is.
Goodluck

I dont think so, because if shopping addictions your giving up a lot of money just to make you happy. with kleptomaniacs they just take it. It could be for the thrill. But shopaholics shop to make themselves feel better.

Has anyone had to deal with the death of an addict? My brother died from an overdose and I feel so horrible about it because I feel like theres something I could've done to stop it. And I'd give anything to go back in time and just try to fix him even if he ended up hating me. I really wish I would've done somehting.

Just give it time and they'll end up forgetting it a little. Get sober, show them you've changed and become the man they wanted you to be. That would probably make them very proud.

How exactly are they dying? I do not see where you state that at? But yes it is a terrible loss? It must be affecting your town a great amount.

I think through the army, cuz she mentioned the military
