Hes been on it for 9 months now and is down to the bottom of the barrel. He's 6'3" and weighs 125 lbs. He has gone into this one clinic twice now, but the withdrawal is so bad, that he can't stand it and has one of his friends pick him up. He is at the point that he can't even get out of bed and I'm afraid one day we are going to go in and find him dead. Do not start Oxy..it is very serious! If anyone has any advice on what I should do, E-mail me!!   Name:Sara Johnson Email:N/A Type:Abuse Story Date:12/8/2002 This is to anyone who cares about someone that is or sadly was addicted to Oxies. I have a dear friend who is struggling with the addiction to this terrible drug. The potential he has is so overwhelming, and powerful that it makes this harder. I have a terrible feeling this drug is going to get the best of him, and steal him from me and the rest of the world. Everyday I see another beautiful quality destroyed because he just doesn't care anymore. Please if you know someone who is struggling with this, do all you can to be there for them. Let them know you care and you need them. I have tried this drug, and can understand why is it is so addictive, but so deadly. I have never touched it again because of watching him. So I thank him for saving me, if only I could save him. I am so sorry to ones that have lost someone. I pray I will never be in that club. Thats all I have to say. Thank you.
