Also used the handle u/cannonb5193 if anyone knew him 🖤 We’ll never forget you, Cannon...

It's been 5 years now, your daughters are looking like you more and more every day. I wish we could have gotten clean together. We've had some crazy nights. I still have nightmares about having to try to I'd your body. You were supposed to be on that train not underneath it. It hurts man.

And its 3 years this month since you totaled my car when you nodded out. I'm buying a new one and right in the middle of the vin was your name, AP.

​

Me on the left (was an addict back then, don't look healthy). Mathias was my best friend. The guy on the right side. He was gold, they called us brothers because of our obsession with tattoos and pretty much same type of clothing etc.

I miss you every single day Mathias. I remember laughing when taking this picture, because we both had to look serious and not laugh but we laughed and laughed, then we hugged each other because I'm the type of person that thinks hugs are important even if they are your friends.

Hugs are important. I wish I could hug Mathias one last time :(

Losing your best friend gives you the feeling of being heartbroken like being in a relationship even though im a straight guy. I felt like I lost 50% of myself.

Sorry I'm crying right now, I'm really traumatized by this :(

REST IN PEACE MY LOVELY BROTHER, I WILL LOVE AND REMEMBER YOU EVERY SINGLE DAY UNTILL I DIE!

​

I even got a tear tattooed in my face because of you :( When I look in the mirror, I'm always crying because of the loss of you :(

It would have been our 4th wedding anniversary on September 5th. You were the love of my life. My precious Angel. Life without you is agony. I miss you with every fiber of my being. Maybe we'll meet again. At least the thought is comforting.

I don't know if y'all remember /u/Kitsune-San, but he was a good friend of mine that I met via this subreddit many years ago.

He was incredibly friendly and incredibly smart, majored in math and chemistry at a university not too far from me and was accepted to another prestigious university's medical school and chemistry research program. He had to drop out of school due to his addiction. He kept spiraling.

I kept in contact every now and then to check in on him, but while I had gotten into recovery, he was still using. I couldn't spend time with him anymore, and it was really triggering just talking to him sometimes. But I was always hoping for the best for him, that he would get it somehow and get better.

He died of an overdose on Wednesday April 3rd. He was 25 years old. He was an only child. He had a loving and devoted fiancée. He had so much potential. He didn't make it.

I went to his viewing last night. I felt like I had to see him because this feels like a sick joke to me, like someone's pulling my leg for some fucked up reason.

If you're in active addiction, please, reach out for help before it gets too bad. I'm rooting for you all.

RIP Lucas, you will be missed.

Not on reddit but lost to an OD. You will be missed big bro.

She wasn't on reddit or anything, but she slipped into a coma and died of heart failure tonight. I'm sorry and I love you, Ma. I would give anything to have one last chance to tell you I love you.

Had 1 year clean july 15th from a 3 year iv dope habit. Monday wrecked my motorcycle and hurt my hand pretty bad. Lucky to be here. They gave iv me Dialudid in the er then a perc sctipt. Stop taking the percs two days ago. I feel fine but i definitely feel the pain from the wreck. Getting surgery thursday worried about opiates being prescribed again.

Found out through facebook. Still not sure what it was, because as far i know, he was only doing roxies. But he liked to get 7-8 at a time and snort them all in one sitting. One rumor is that he was buying them off the dark web - he mightve gotten some fent pills. The other rumor was that he was also doing H. Regardless, we lost a good human. He didn't care that i was flat broke, living with my grandfather. He still picked me up, took me to the movies, bought the tickets and snacks, then brought me home. All because he just wanted to hang out. He wasn't only my friend because of what i could do for him - which seems to be the case more and more these days. He liked to just talk and just hang out.

Tracy sent me Narcan. I tried giving it to him, but he was afraid of possible charges he could get if i got pulled over, so he gave them back before he left. I don't know the circumstances of his death, but maybe if he took the Narcan, he would be here. The overzealous cops piss me off. I guess he's another statistic now for them.

How many more people have to die from this shit before you realize that its a disease - but then again, you dont give a fuck about people with other diseases either unless it pads your bottom line.
