Are you afraid of death?

[KIAman]

That's because you're in front of a freaking firing squad. That vs being in a hospital bed while your organs slowly shut down are completely different things.

Yes, you are partially right. If I had to die right now at my current age, I would rather die to a firing squad than letting my organs slowly shutdown in the hospital over a period of time, or letting cancer shut down my body, or letting that incurable disease finally run it's course, or having a failing heart with no donor.

If I were old and lived my life, I wouldn't care but I'm guessing the average posting age on ATOT is somewhere in the mid 20s.

I have seen my share of death. I fear it not ... but after what I have seen I fear growing old and the ailments associated with it.

 

[WelshBloke]

Trident; Are you afraid of death?

Atot; No, not yours anyway.

[MagnusTheBrewer]

Most of ATOT hasn't seen enough death to really know what it is let alone fear it.

Cool, you're still alive!! :thumbsup:

Also checking out because of an opiate overdose isn't going to be scary at the time specifically because you've just had a shit ton of opiates to take the edge off.

Addiction is very scary. You cant control yourself, you a different person until you get your fix. Im glad i changed my ways,but flat lineing sure did put me in check.

I'm turning 24 and feel like I'm only now truly starting to live my life, so yes I am afraid of dying because there are so many things I want to do. Even if I reach 80 I'll still be afraid of death because I could live 10 times and still not have the time to have done everything I want to do and see.

The only thing i fear about dying...

is the corpse run from the nearest graveyard.

 

[SKORPI0]

Why be afraid when you've got paradise waiting for you?

Maybe with 72 virgins. :awe:

so true.. i dont wanna open that can of fuckin worms again. but i trust me i know where your coming from...

100mcg fentanyl patch almost ended me. i ate it.. layed on the ground for 20 hours before anyone found me... temp of 85, they said my enzyhmes showed signs of a heart attack, and my tissure was already starting to break down/decompose... i came out of the coma 3 days later, came off the breathing machine on day 4.. recovered.. my addiction was broken miraculaously after that...i didnt even have any sort of opiate withdrawal (and i know fuckin opiate withdrawal) i've ingested opiates a total of 2 times since that.. yep, addiction is broken.. no desire to continue using them at all.. once i just HAD to try it one more time... it was oxycontin 40mg, this was like 4 months after the OD, it was just like i remembered...but i didnt like it anymore. the other was hydrocodone, because i got a tooth pulled... it was weird to actually use pain pills for what they were meant to be used for, and in the correct dosage...

 

[guyver01]

my addiction was broken miraculaously after that... i've ingested opiates a total of 2 times since that.. .. once i just HAD to try it one more time... it was oxycontin 40mg, this was like 4 months after the OD...

wow. lie after lie after lie.

one a deadbeat drug addict, always a deadbeat drug addict.

 

[zanejohnson]

wow. lie after lie after lie.

what can i say? i had to try it one more time... i did, and thank God, i was done with it...

So why hassle him about it if he has no choice in the matter (according to you).

 

[Crono]

No.

 

[guyver01]

So why hassle him about it if he has no choice in the matter (according to you).

i'm not saying he has no choice. he has a choice.

he constantly comes on here and says "i've been clean since my OD.. i've never done drugs.... i've been clean"


Then just fesses up he did it not once.. BUT TWICE.

like i said... once a liar and a loser.. always a liar and a loser.

 

[BudAshes]

I'm not afraid of dying, just dying poorly.

 

[guyver01]

what can i say? i had to try it one more time......

no. you didnt.

if you really were scared straight... the thought of even TRYING... and what could have occurred AGAIN.. would have been enough.


You are an addict. you will always be an addict.

and it's a pity and a shame your daughter will probably bury you before she's 10.

you flatlined? What?

Also...please don't speak as an expert. You have proven yourself to be a liar, a sham and a fool.

 

[Howard]

I don't know. Not really, right now, but when it comes down to it I might piss my pants in fear. Who knows?

Your first post and last post say he doesn't have a choice.

 

[zanejohnson]

no. you didnt.

wow that's totally fucked... dunno why im even wasting my time replying...

 

[guyver01]

Your first post and last post say he doesn't have a choice.

Everyone has a choice. Drug addicts like ZJ CHOOSE not to make the right one. Even the wrong choice, is still a choice.

 

[guyver01]

dunno why im even wasting my time replying...

yea.. you could be eating another packet of pain pills. it's what you REALLY would rather be doing.

 

[WelshBloke]

You are an addict. you will always be an addict.

You're the one saying he doesn't have a choice not me.

 

[zanejohnson]

Everyone has a choice. Drug addicts like ZJ CHOOSE not to make the right one. Even the wrong choice, is still a choice.

you've obviously never been addicted to anything.. it's not a matter of choice at that point.. when your addicted to something like opiates, its not just the being sober part that your scared of.. you become a monster, and your running from yourself, and the way you feel when you dont have it.. you convince yourself that YOU ARE who you are when your high, i dont know i cant even put it into words, and anyone who hasnt been addicted like HARDCORE addicted can not even imagine how it is..

like 2 years ago, i was CONVINCED i would never quit, it was out of the question, i would either be addicted, and happy, or dead..

now i sit here, sober as a judge, i can actually feel emotions again, i've lost alot, but i've gained MY LIFE BACK.

 

[guyver01]

You're the one saying he doesn't have a choice not me.

there's a difference between CHOICE... and free will.

Drug Addicts always have Free Will.

They CHOOSE not to stop being addicts.

As he said... he HAD to take drugs one more time.

NO he didnt. He CHOSE to take illegal narcotics one more time.
