Lemme Tell Ya Bout Some Stuff
I've been a little quiet lately. And here's why - if only because it's cathartic to write about these things. I moved out of my sober living house just shy of two months ago.
The apartment in which I live still encourages maintaining that sobriety. But unfortunately, it doesn't stop life from doing whatever the fuck it does.
Which means that a week ago today I found my roommate overdosed. Thankfully, we were able to save him. But it was terrifying. And traumatizing. And at the time, all I could think was that at least I know how to use Narcan.
I administered the spray. I rubbed his chest. I tried to guide him back. Meanwhile my other roommate called 911, she called out orders, she moved quick to open doors - she's a fucking badass superhero.
And because of that he's okay.
He's moving out and going to get some help. But he's alive and breathing. He gets another fucking chance and believe you me we have talked about how he is quickly running out of lives.
He's overdosed multiple times. He's double digits. And when we spoke finally I did everything short of punch him.
He fucked me up. He fucked my roommate up. And that shit hits in waves. But enough about that - seriously.
My fucking bright spot, is that for months my Tumblr Bestie and I have been planning a little vacay. Tomorrow, @curls-and-eyeliner and are gonna meet for the first time. I'm flying all the way down to Virginia to hang out with my girl.
And we're gonna have some serious fucking fun! We talk damn near every day, her and I. And she is hands down one of the most supportive people I have in my life.
I'm blessed to know her.
No different than how I've been blessed to know ya'll. I'm gonna finish packing my suitcase now. I love you.

I Thought Of You
Jason Todd X Reader
Warnings:suggestive content, explicit language, whump, past child neglect and drug overdose mentioning
Words:1478
Tyler panicked as he calls his Dad's girlfriend after his Dad loses conscious....
Tumblr media
Tyler's hands shake as he unlocked his dad's phone. He began to stutter as he went to his recent calls. Inside his recent phone calls was Alfred from 3 days ago and Y/N today. He quickly called her thinking of her first.
-"hey-- Tyler is that you baby?.." he couldn't calm down "shh shh shh it's OK deep breaths baby" she cooed Tyler listened to her taking deep breaths "good job buddy. Now tell me what's wrong? Are you ok? Where's Jason?"
"it's-it's Jay he fell on the floor and he won't get up and I don't think he can hear me" the young child cried.
Y/N's heart falls as she rushes to get her keys
"ok baby don't panic, don't worry. I'm coming right now. Did he hit his head on anything? A hard object of any kind?" she asked "what happened during patrol?"
"no he just fell onto the floor. We were on patrol and he breathed in fear toxin but he had the antidote! I'm really really scared Y/N"
She, stayed on the phone with Tyler while driving to their house. She parks in their driveway. She quickly cuts the engine.
"ok Tyler I'm here I'm coming inside right now it's gonna be OK" she softly said hearing him crying
"o-ok"
She, hangs up slamming her car door shut, running into the house. With much haist Y/N came inside and shuts the door behind her. She sees Jason laying on the living room floor. He was barely coherent only able to try desperately to keep himself from passing out. Tyler was sitting on the floor beside his dad. Y/N runs to him and moved to her knees. She leans to his nose hearing a shallow breath, and then to his chest.
"his breathing is small but he's OK.. Let's put him onto the couch"
Y/N moved her arms through around his chest lifting Jason onto the couch. Jason sits on the couch as he began shivering from the intense heat. Somehow he knew he was OK. Tyler stood close by trying to keep his tears back.
Y/N leaned close to Jason feeling his forehead that feels as if he has a fever. She rubs his burning forehead.
He began blinking his vision blurred. He had his eyes half open to only barely see her deeply worried face.
"... Y/N?..." he slurred
"shh I'm here. You're safe honey just try to relax, ok? I'm right here Jason" she ensures
Hearing her voice, he knew for sure he was safe. That his little boy is safe. That she is safe.
Y/N took off his jacket following by his shirt. Tyler helped her by taking his shoes and socks off. She then undid his belt.
"can you try to stand with me" she gently said
Jason gave her sloppy nod. She helped him stand onto his feet. He gently applied his weight on her so he wouldn't fall. She pushed his jeans down to his ankles. She holds onto him while Jason's legs shake slightly stepping out of his jeans and was now only wearing his boxers. Y/N motions him to lay on the couch.
She inspected Jason in great detail.. She still sees no injuries which meant it was the fear toxin and not a wound.
"Tyler can you run and get me the medical bag from his room?"
"on it!" Tyler promised running to get the bag
Tyler returned with the bag. She opens it finding the thermometer, she places it in his mouth. She ran her knuckles through his hair. The thermometer began beeping. She takes it from his mouth.
"102. 5" she sighed.
"that's bad..." Tyler said shakily
She touches his am sweetly "oh don't worry baby he'll be OK"
"I'm glad you're here" he said as his eyes were starting to swell
She kissed Tyler's head knowing exactly what was going through the poor child's mind. Jason had told how his mother had overdosed a week before he adopted him.
As Jason slept Tyler left to get another blanket for his Dad... She uses her spy-contacts to tell Batman that the fear toxin had been modified to have a stronger effect and to cause fevers. He then thanked her for the information and asked how his son was.
As she responded to Bruce. Jason softly groaned mumbling a barely audible words as they slurred. She leans close to him kissing his cheek.
"I'm right here" she reminds him fearing his was having a nightmare
He didn't listen as kept trying to say what his heart was screaming to say.. She listened carefully to him. She nearly gasps hearing what he said. He leans into her touch basking in her presence he never wants to stray away from.
"ma... Ary.. Me.. Y/N" he slurred.
Y/N gasps her eyes start to shake. She scolds herself for externally freaking out. They had discussed marriage.. But she didn't expect him to say anything now.. He probably is emotional from the intense fever. Jason may not even remember this..
"I.." she didn't mind saying yes twice or even more times "yes I will marry you"
She kissed him and is then nearly tackled from Tyler. The red-headed boy began to cry. She then to lost control as she hugged him. She holds Jason's hand. Tyler's embrace gave her all the reassurance she needed. Soon thereafter Jason in a slurred speech told Tyler to get the ring..
Hours later. Tyler and Y/N began making soup for Jason for when he gets hungry. They had just finished baking cookies and we're enjoying it so much they decided to keep at it.
Jason gently stirs in his sleep he blinks several times. He feels the weighted blanket on him and the cool rag on his forehead. His body feels weak as he turns his head, his headache became worse.
He blinks again to see Y/N's phone on his coffee table. Then he began to allow panic to settle into his heart. Where were they?
"Y/N!! Tyler!!" Jason quickly moves his covers wincing from the sharp pain to his head from the horrible migraine.
He quickly moved to his feet but as he stands his knees try to buckle beneath him. He heavily breathed trying to keep from falling just as she came running to him. She rushed to Jason to keep him from falling.
"what are you doing Babe?!"
She then understand the answer of her question seeing the panic in his wavered breath. He let out a helpless cry shedding a tear. He began to stutter as he feels her arms finally wrap around his neck.
Jason heavily breathed in and out of his mouth. He hugged her tightly unable to calm down through his breath. He buried his heart wrenching face within the crook of her neck. She gently guided him back to couch sitting him down. Jason clings to her waist as he began to cry.
"shh we're here. Tyler's ok, I'm ok, you're OK" she whispered
She holds his fearful face in her hands. He holds her wrist his face clenched tightly. She kissed him wiping his tears away. Just then a smaller pair of feet come into the room.
"daddy" Tyler cautiously said
"son" Jason gasped with a wavered breath.
Tyler approaches him touching his face. Jason's heart couldn't bear the thought of never seeing his little boy. Never seeing his love.. His heart made his arms weaken more as they try to hold onto his son. Tyler hugged Jason, sweetly rubbing his Dad's back. Jason moved his arm to move Y/N into their embrace.
Jason then truly realized.. It was just a nightmare.
As Jason started to feel his body calm down and his migraine feel less intense. The two sit beside him. They're ok, he remind himself. He saw the light hit the diamond on her finger.
".. Is that... Did I" Jason was in shock yet again.
"You *ahem* did" she nervously answered
"you said yes! You said yes!!" he hugs her, laying his head on her chest "oh shit Y/N I wanted to be perfect to what you deserved. I'm so happy you said yes.."
"oh oh I made cookies and soup with Y/N's help of course I'll go get it" Tyler grinned running off
"ok buddy" Jason chuckled. He softly laughs seeing his clothes on the floor "did we uh"
"no we did not pervert" she laughs kissing his head
"well at least I'll remember when we do" he sits up and pulls her into his lap "I owe you big time then, huh? I get a damn fever and propose to you. I had a whole weekend planned for you"
"I'm happy where ever I am with you and our little boy" she smiled to him

Researchers keeping track of life expectancy among people living rough in Hamilton, Ont., say another 14 individuals experiencing homelessness died between December and May, with the cause of death for about a quarter of them unknown.
The six-month examination by local health analysts and social workers suggests a slight increase from a similar joint study between December 2021 and May 2022 in which 12 deaths were reported.
While eight of the 14, or 57 per cent, were connected with a drug overdose, the cause of death for four was not known.
Dr. Inna Berditchevskaia of the Hamilton Homeless Mortality Data Project admits the 14 reported deaths are just the people the researchers know about and not likely the complete picture.
“We’re seeing overwhelmingly young Hamiltonians dying in this population,” Berditchevskaia said. [...]

Fruk are not necessarily bad for each other but they’re not completely good either. They love each other but they also still have a little hatred for one another too.
When they got together it wasn’t after the dramatic love confession, it was after they realized how tied together their fates are, how they’re the ones that know each other best, how when they were at their lowest the other was there and knew exactly what the other was going through.
They might start dating then go on and off every few decades but no matter where their relationship is if the other is relapsing and is dying from a drug overdose the other will go there and hold them as they die.

TW: drug overdose
"A?" B knocks on the closed washroom door, "How are you doing in there?"
Not even a shuffling sound comes from behind the door.
B tries again, "A? You okay?"
Still no response.
"Okay. Two minutes timer, as agreed, all right? You can call it off at any time." B fiddles with their phone, starting the painfully long countdown from 120 then gritting their teeth as they rest their forehead worriedly against the outside doorframe. They clutch the long, thin screwdriver in their pocket, ready to force the lock if necessary.
They don't want to do this. Or rather, they don't want to be here, waiting helplessly outside the door. But it's what A had agreed. Harm reduction, not harm prevention... so 120 seconds of hell it is. 120 seconds of Schrödinger's A...
"2 minutes are up, A," B braces themself for the sight of A's limp body on the washroom floor as the unlocked door handle swings in their grip, "I'm coming in."
Clawing the person they love back from the brink of death isn't something they're ever going to be used to...

(cw: drug abuse, drug overdose)
AITA for accidentally causing a plane crash?
i (50M) would like to start off by saying i am a loving family man. i would never hurt or harm someone without reason to. unfortunately, recent situations have pushed me to my limits and i have made some rash decisions
this specific situation started when my business partner (24M) stopped showing up to work. obviously, this was a major problem, especially because there was a significant amount of pressure on us at that specific moment
upon numerous visits to him, trying to convince him to come back to work, i determined the source of this sudden rebellious attitude was his new girlfriend (26F). she was turning him against me and poisoning his mind. i kept trying to appeal to him, but it was no use. i just had to trust that he’s come to his senses on his own
things came to a head when his girlfriend attempted to blackmail me and convince my business partner to run away with her and the money. this caused a massive fight between my and my business partner
however, after giving myself some time to clear my head i decided it would be better to reconcile. i returned, only to find my business partner and his girlfriend passed out, by the looks of it from drug use. i will not go into the details but his girlfriend overdosed
i considered calling 911 to save her life, but decided against it. it would be too risky for me to get authorities involved in this situation. additionally, and i hate to admit it, but she was planning on blackmailing me and running with my business partner and the money. maybe this would finally snap my business partner out of his rebellious phase. so i left. and made sure my business partner would never know i was there
unfortunately, it turns out that the girlfriend was the daughter of an air controller. when he returned to work the grief over his daughter’s death would lead to him spacing out, and two planes crashing (coincidentally over my house) killing hundreds
but on an even worse note, i missed my daughter’s birth and my bitch wife left me for no reason

Real Talk.
Tumblr media
Warning: the following post contains mature themes and references to drug overdose, death, and Fentanyl.
For the record, what I'm about to say in regards to NARCAN has nothing to do with me standing on a soapbox. Instead, I'm asking that people do what they can to educate themselves on the importance and necessity of this life-saving drug.
And I'll start by telling you a story:
This morning, I went to check on my roommate who lives on the floor above me. She had asked me to make sure she didn't sleep through her many alarms like she always did so that she could make it to work on time. She's a server at a steakhouse chain - and a damn good one at that.
She's also my friend. A friend who, just like myself, is nearly nine months sober.
Except this morning when I knocked on her door, she didn't answer. And when I opened the door and peeked in her room she appeared to be fast asleep. But she was half naked, and the fan she had borrowed from me the night before was set to full blast. Even though it was cold outside.
Her room was like an ice box. And she was so pale. And no matter how loud I said her name, she wouldn't open her eyes and look at me.
She wouldn't wake up.
So I poked her in the shoulder. I shook her. I yelled her name. And then I realized her lips were blue. Her body was stiff. And she was cold to the touch.
The only sound she could make was that of a low, almost eerie groan. If I'm being honest, it's a sound that I'd never quite heard before. And I don't want to ever hear it again.
What I would come to realize seconds later was that my friend had overdosed on Fentanyl. Possibly a few hours earlier. Which meant she was fucking dying.
I panicked, of course. Because I'm an alcoholic. I've never touched Heroin, let alone witnessed an overdose. I know what to do if someone was suffering from, say, alcohol poisoning...but this...this was brand new territory.
Because with Fentanyl, seconds fucking matter.
I sprinted to wake up another girl. Seconds later we were back with our friend where our worst fear was absolutely confirmed.
Fentanyl Overdose.
I'd never fucking seen this. Never. But we didn't have time to fall apart because from there we dashed down the stairs. She went straight for the NARCAN and I went for my phone to call 911.
Less than a minute later, she and I were back in our friend's room to administer the NARCAN, only for us to realize that she wasn't breathing anymore.
By this point, another one of my housemates had joined us as well. And the others were soon to follow. While I was on the phone relaying instructions from the dispatcher on how to revive our friend, the others were moving her limp body to the floor.
They were doing chest compressions. Two were racing to find more NARCAN stashed in someone's glove compartment. And then another was directing EMS on where to go in the house.
It was a team effort to make sure this girl fucking lived. We could yell at her for this tomorrow. But for now, all we cared about was her living today.
I had never been through this. But as much as I hate to say this, today I was grateful that there were others in the house who had been through this before. For those who knew how to administer NARCAN.
In total, we administered something like 28 milligrams to bring her back. Which is a lot. A cop may have mumbled out something about us not waiting long enough in between doses to see if we'd given her enough before administering another. But he can go kick rocks.
Because we did the best we could all while running on straight adrenaline and doing everything we could to save someone while not falling apart in the process.
In the end, what matters is that she woke up. She was in pain. And very ill. And has since been admitted to the hospital.
Now the rest of us are left to deal with the tears and the adrenaline comedown, along with the guilt of all the signs we may or may not have missed. And that is really fucking shitty. I am so mad at my friend.
But at the same time, I love her so damn much. And I'm grateful that I will hopefully have the opportunity to share all these feelings with her one day soon.
She was fucking lucky. And so were we.
I'm grateful we found her in-time - because the paramedics made it very clear that we cut it real close. I'm grateful I live with people who found it in them to unite to save someone's life.
I'm grateful for NARCAN.
And beyond that, I'm grateful that I now know what to do with it. I never completely comprehended the weight of its importance until today. I didn't quite understand why my friend kept a stash of it in her glove compartment when she had no intentions of getting high anymore.
But today that stash saved her life. I'm begging you, if you have a loved one who suffers from this disease, please consider keeping this life-saving drug within reach.
Read up about it. Talk about it. Even if it makes you uncomfortable. Even if you can't fathom why someone would think of or want to use. Even if the idea of having to use it scares you.
I'm sure if it ever came down to it, you would rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it. Wouldn't you?
I've come to learn that many people who relapse, even after months of serious sobriety, don't plan it. It just happens. Impulsivity is a deadly part of this disease. One lapse in judgement - just one - could very well mean death.
It's really that serious.
Because with this disease, you're always guaranteed another relapse. But you're never guaranteed another recovery.
Thanks to NARCAN, my friend will have another shot.
That's all I've got for now, guys and gals. I'd be lying if I said we weren't all emotional wrecks over here. But it's all gonna be okay.
And finally, but most importantly: if you're struggling with anything, be it addiction or mental health, there is no shame in asking for help. Not now. Not ever. We're all human. We all need love.
We all deserve support to overcome our darkest of days.
Love, Britt
