A heroin overdose; Morgan’s story

Overdose Awareness Day is chance to talk about something that, too often, is seen as a source of shame rather than a problem to be faced out front in the open. Hundreds of Coloradans die each year due to addiction. This is the story of Morgan Tartz of Castle Rock, as told by her parents.

    I lost my son to herion overdose mixed fentanyl, he was 26 . I found him in the bathroom dead. The shower on and the bathroom door locked. He was white as a ghost and lips were blue. His JUNK on the bathroom counter in a old eye glass case.The police, emt, first aid squad tried to save him. Our parish priest came over and blessed him, the corner came and took my son away in a body bag. Our Family has changed for ever. Christ I miss him.

    Once she got off the heroin in rehab her body lost it's high tolerance to the drug. After rehab when she came home she took the same dose as before when she had a high tolerance for the drug thinking it would have the same effect. But since her body lost it's tolerance to heroin...the dose was too high for her body. I was addicted for 6 years. My condolences to the parents of this beautiful young girl

    I have been clean for 5 years and relapsed two weeks ago, I've already overdosed twice In that amount of time. Never did once in my former abuse Days. Both times my brother felt like he should stop by and check on me, not usual for him at all to do so. Your right though, I wasn't aware of anything about either overdose, not aware of what happened 20 minutes before or about 10 minutes after overdose, in that case it's the most peaceful death of them all. Just wake up on the other side, or if there is no other side just don't wake up. This last time, I fell hard and got a ghastly looking wound on my forehead/cheekbone. Hit a cabinet on the way down, then must have fell into the wall from there, caused it to cranck my neck all hard. Bad day again, real bad. neighbors Out again wondering what the fuck is up with this kid, seriously again!! my family finding out, it being to juicy of a story for them to net tell there friends and so on down the line until a lot of people that I don't give a fuck about and don't care about me know I'm a junkie, I ain't going to worry about Any of that though. just getting clean now for me.

    I wouldn’t call myself an addict HOWEVER, I was prescribed Xanax by my primary physician. And he kept raising it and raising over an 11 month period. I didn’t know you can’t just stop Xanax. After the 3 day I had a seizure. I broke my right eye orbit and bit through my tongue and peed myself. The look on my mother and fathers face seeing me in detox for that 48 hours ....broke my heart. I never touched the stuff again. That was June 2015. ❤️ I’m one of the lucky ones. I lost a brother to heroin. And a cousin. We had it all. Cars. Catholic schools. College. Masters. It’s truly a sad epidemic.

    @@KittyKittyBangBang249 I was a public transportation driver for many recovering addicts, and they treated me like a bartender... they told me everything and anything about their lives and condition. I was educated, as you call it, and my comment stands. What I observed was that addicts don't usually become addicts, without other attendant problems that they fail to address, then use these as excuses for "self medication". Maybe some are forcibly injected the first time, or coerced by others to take the first dose. However the vast majority still do it as a personal, willful act. So what I wonder about is why we idolize those who do it to death, and not address the underlying issue, which is a failure of personal responsibility...? I know people who've been on methadone for years, but all it did is coddle them and they're just as dependent, but only in a new medically-driven addictive system supported by tax money. The doctors and nurses treating these people, especially those who can't/don't pay for services, are working in public programs, and are actually not motivated to get patients off the program. In NH where I live, alcoholism is a much larger social ill, yet all I hear about is the "opioid epidemic". That's because it's a cause celebre. The alcoholism causes much more injury, child abuse, illness and death. We tend to pay attention only to the media covered subjects....I just wonder what the treatment landscape would look like if we took on dangerous practices that people like to indulge in, as a proportion of the population, and then incentivized practitioners to have a goal of getting patients well and truly off the program?

Every time I was prescribed Percocet. Always took my medication as prescribed and never had a problem... until the 9th surgery. Something obviously was triggered in my brain and an addiction to opiates was suddenly a problem. I believe it is a a disease of the brain. Yes the first couple of times it is a choice to take the stuff but after that, not really. I’m not making excuses or lying either when I say not once did those doctors (there were 2 involved in the end) explain to me that they were physically addictive or even an opiate. Or for that matter in the same family as heroin. I had no clue. This was 18 years ago. Had I been told any of those things, I never in a million years would have taken them after any one of the surgeries. Now the only solution to them seems to be methadone or suboxone which take months to get through the withdrawal, so I pass. No thanks.

    Poor girl didnt even know. So heartbreaking. When you overdose you have no idea, you just nod off, pass out and stop breathing. You have no idea. That's why overdoses are so tragic in my eyes, to anybody it happens to, because they're just trying to feel better about something, then all of a sudden they're just gone.

    Yesterday i injected half gram of something accidentally thinking it to be heroin and this is what lead me hear... And just after injection within 10 minutes i was experiencing hell on earth. I just thought this was my last injection. I was just shooked.. Blurry everything. Not able to walk not able to think... And i was just fighting for my life... I thought its an heroin overdose... After half an hour of struggle i came back to a little normal... But my withdrawal was started again for heroin... As i am cutting my dose regularly to quit heroin i thought i overdosed on heroin as my tolerance is now a little decreased but when i started feeling withdrawal i came to know that the dealer gave me something else... And after reaserching a lot i get to a point that it was mdma crystal cut with something else... I took again my dose of heroin but i was very afraid that mixing heroin with previous substance or substances can be more dangerous... But i was having a severe withdrawal... So i took a small dose first and then i felt better.... Then i took the whole dose... I will quit everything now after yesterday's experience.... Its a new life that is given to me maybe for a reason .. Durgs are not worth a life... And those who sell Durgs don't care about a life but only money... I have already lost my everything with my addiction but it's on me if i have the courage i can bring back everything.

I have 4 months sober after many visits to the ICU thinking i was gonna die of a heart attack. Do u drink alcohol? for me alcohol was the trigger to do other drugs so i quit that and also the other drugs. Also it can be a life trauma an event that has changed u in ur life, get help. I just hope u quit for good because these drugs are nothing but lies. Many times the morning after when the drug wore off and i had not slept thats when all regrets came and i felt really bad.

    Beautiful girl... Addiction doesn't discriminate. Ive been addicted to opiates for years (been taking on and off). I recently got clean about a week ago from IV heroin. Two of the main reasons why I used was pain (4 herniated discs and sacroiliitis in both of my SI joints) and boredom. There's this saying ... "idle hands are the devil's playground". And its 100% true. I originally started taking opiates because of a surgery I had in high school. I had a ruptured appendix, which almost killed me and needed emergency surgery. I spent 9 days in the hospital and the amount of pain medication I was on, was insane. After I got a taste of it, I was hooked. I really didn't start using till after High School, but it kinda tumbled from there. Nobody on this planet would ever think I'm an addict (esp. to IV heroin). I live a completely normal life. I'm a Firefighter/Paramedic, living in a moderately upscale neighborhood, I have a family, etc. etc. pretty much living the "American dream". Unfortunately, I relapsed about 2 months ago because of another surgery I had... The pain medication the doctor prescribed didn't do a single thing. I was taking anywhere from 6-10 pills at a time, but it still hardly worked. Anyways, I ended up buying heroin, and that helped me immensely. I originally planned to take it for only a week or so, till I got all healed up... but being an addict, you cant simply stop. For everyone out there, please don't judge addicts and look down upon us. We are humans too. For anyone out there that's trying to get clean, you can do it. I recommend Kratom to help get off of it. I cant tell you how much it helped me. It literally changed my life.

My everything Beth passed away her mother also found her unconscious and unresponsive on her mother’s couch. She truly was a angel lifting me up when I was so far down. I am not one of the most handsome type but I have a good heart and she was beautiful and she had a humongous heart and she picked me up and gave me the love that I so desperately needed.There are so many Beths and Morgan’s out there now struggling against this terrible disease. May god bless them and there families and they get the love and treatment that they deserve. I don’t want to hear about one more tragedy because of this very evil drug.

    Her mother is so correct. We need to get this out in the open. Instead of being embarrassed. Instead of letting the justice system handle addiction it needs to be medical. The system is so overwhelmed. It's not working!! Addiction isn't a crime and addicts don't benefit from being incarcerated. This monster affects all kinds of people. Rich, poor, black, white, brown. Addiction does not care! The more we talk about this the more motivated people become. As a addict who is going on my 10th year sober I wouldn't wish addiction on the devil himself. It is pure hell. You feel helpless because there isn't enough places to turn to if you don't you are have insurance. Places are jammed packed that will take you if you don't. The system we are using is not working. We will keep losing people until we address it. This should have been addressed and a system in place during the crack epidemic. We keep doing the same thing and expect different results. Get out and vote for people who want to fix the problem. Make your voices heard! I could ramble on forever about this! I tend to be passionate about it especially since I experienced it myself.

I had so many times of running out of rehab scared crying and physically unable at the time to get through the intense with drawels. However by the time i reached 19 i was so beat from addiction i had a realization that b 4 my 20th Birthday i couldn't take this no more i felt like death i was 80pounds sick and defeated. I thought at one point maybe death was my only option left i couldn't take it anymore and i somehow got into a outpatient treatment and got clean! However years later with 4 kid's im still clean by the Grace of God and my father my hero my heart who i lost May 21st 2019 at 3am 😭😔Vietnam Veteran who would give the shirt off his back for anyone not just family! He loved me unconditionally no matter how many relapses he encouraged never put me down always picked me up when i was 💔 broken.

    The fact is anyone can become addicted to an addictive substance , I’ve worked in the health industry and with addiction, it’s very difficult, one thing that stands out to me is the rehab experience is ok however rehab is a life long process, and programs need to be much much longer. Early education at ordinary schools so that young kid’s aren’t afraid to identify what drugs are, what they do and why people take them and that there are alternatives to cope. Teaching life skills , at an early age , teach our kids why others who are in emotional pain or perhaps have a mental illness try drugs as a means to cope, but also educated how it doesn’t help, teaching kids to ASK FOR HELP, when they don’t know how to cope. It’s so devastating because some people have to cope with terrible trauma, i can’t judge anyone, I’m very grateful I’ve never been addicted to anything, it’s been difficult for me to switch off when I’ve worked with people trying to turn their lives around , many are so intelligent, beautiful people many work jolly hard at getting sober and it’s wonderful to see their lives flourish
