I recently turned 23 and have already been to a rehab in Boca Raton, Flordia. I was snorting over 160 mgs per day and have been clean now for just a little over four weeks. It was not easy and still sometimes I have cravings to go back. This site really helped me to see how it has effected other families everywhere and I want to make sure my family does not have to bury me due to an overdose. I have done several types of drugs and in my experience OxyContin was the only drug that I was dependant on and litterally had to have to get out of the bed. For all of those who read this please continue to pray for me, a recovering addict.   Name:Justin Email:[email protected] Type:General Comment Date:3/31/2004 people in Halifax, NS are mixing MDMA (E's, X, etc.) with oxy, to achive dangerous efects. this can cause mass dehydration or passing out on OD (over dose).   Name:Kelli Clark Email:[email protected] Type:Death Story Date:3/25/2004 My brother Christopher Wayne Clark passed away, 5 months on March 24, 2004 due to this killer drug. This will be the first time I've wrote. I guess I am now because I miss him so much and this website is sort of a way to express how I feel. I am very angry, he was only 19 years old, and I think about how he made everyday of my life happier. Just to see him smile. I never thought he'd ever leave me. We were very close, sure we had our disagreements, what brother and sister don't? There's not a day that goes by I don't think of him. It's just not fair. I look at the pain in my mom's eyes everyday, I can see how hurt she is, how we all are. He was our rock. We lost my dad in 1998 due to a liver transplant gone bad. Then Chris's life slowly began to change. He was a great kid, loved to play baseball, and always looked up to my dad.When my dad left, my mom, brother and I were lost. We all went into a direction where my father would never let us see. It hurt so much being 15 and losing my father, but losing my brother, this is the worst feeling in the world. I looked up to him. He was always looking out for me, even though I was a little bit older. He always understood. When my brother passed away I was 6 months pregnant. So it was so hard to let myself feel what I feared. The night he passed I was the last one to find out, because of my pregnancy, not even hearing it from my family.No matter how pregnant I was I deserved to know, he was my only brother. I know my family was looking out for me, but I loved him too. While my brother was here, he used to pick on me for being so pregnant, now I look at my son and cry. I had my baby on January 14, and things went bad. I had an emergency C-section, my placenta ruptured and my baby's heartbeat kept going down. There was even a discussion of life and death, and a choice between my baby and I. I know now my brother was watching over us. My son's name is Christopher Wayne after my brother.Looking at him, even saying his name I see and think of my brother. I keep thinking things will get easier,but they haven't and they never will.I just want to hold him, and tell him I love him. That was the last thing I ever got to say to him. I wish we would of known of this site before he left us, maybe then this could of been prevented. He loved life so much, and just think he loved his friends too. And look where he is now, because of his "so-called friends". Well, I must say I cannot believe how many lives this drug has destroyed. I love and miss my brother so much and I know it isn't going to get easier. I just can't help but wonder why his friends didn't drop him off at the hospital, why at home where they knew my mom, my brother's best friend would find him. What kind of people are they? He might of had a chance. I just wish these so called friends weren't still walking the streets, there needs to be something done. It's killing my mom, all of us. i know having this people and this drug off the streets won't bring my brother back, but it will give us some closure and help save others. This drug is dangerous, I just wish it didn't exist. Thank you for listening to me, and Chris I love you so much, and I will never forget you and all the great things you did.And even though my son will never meet you, he will always know who his Uncle Chris is! You will always be in my heart, and I'll never ever forget you! I love you bud!
