Spring of 2019 I met a Scorpio. Our connection was accidental, he kept persuing me and I accepted. After being severely abused in the past it was really hard for me to get back in a relationship. I moved back in the city with my parents to do my masters and my plan was to leave right after. I did not want a relationship to distract me. Well it happened. When I met the scorpio, we had such a connection, things were going well.....and as months went by they were getting better and stronger. However, he had a background.....he was a recovering heroin addict. He was very opened about it from the get go and I appreciated it because he hid nothing from me (at least I don't think). An old friend of his decided to throw him a birthday party. He relapsed....I can not even tell you the stress I went through. He was not himself anymore. 5 days later he overdosed and it did not make it. This was 5 months ago, and as traumatized as I was I kept myself busy with school and work. Now, being in quarantine all the pain is coming back. It is so unbearable. After finally getting out of something abusive, finding someone who truly was great and losing them to drugs. I cant even express how much fear I have being in a relationship. Has anyone been through something like this?
I lost the scorpio in my life
Thanks guys. I guess the common denominator is talk to a counselor. I tried to tough it out, but it has reached its peak. I can not handle it.

Whatever you're thinking, don't blame yourself or carry guilt... There's nothing more you could have done. It's unfortunate because he was on such a good path but temptation is everywhere... I can't imagine how that friend must be feeling. Be thankful for the good moments you shared, remember those. 🌻


I'm sorry for your loss. I wish I had the words to say to help even if it was a little bit. I lost a bf in a car accident...while not the same type of way...I do empathize with you. It's not going to be easy in the beginning and it'll hit you in waves but you will make it thru this.
Finding a support group or some type of counseling would most likely be beneficial here.
Ngl...I self sabotage relationships because I'm scared it's going to happen again and idk if I can go thru that type of pain...so you definitely aren't alone in feeling that way. I self sabotage less and less tho thru the years...so there a light at the end of the tunnel.

I do have people they were there when it had just happened......but now it is hard to talk about it to my friends and family. People get awkward. Which is why posted here lol.

i lost a boyfriend to heroin addiction, 7yrs ago. i dont really have any words of comfort but the intense feelings do pass.
i hope you have a community of friends to support you. if not, look into support groups for family members of addicts.
I know..
People were telling me the same and I hated hearing it. He was doing soooo fucking well. All his friends, his mother even his counselor said they were confident he was not going to fall off the wagon. And it took one party. And the friend that threw the party has been inconsistent with her behaviours. Nice to me one day avoids me the next.

Ahahaha sure. The only people who have sympathy for drug addicts are people on the outside who dont have much experience with them and also other drug addicts. People like me, intelligent, experienced, and handsome... know exactly how your kind operate. You cant milk any sympathy from me nuh uh no way.click to expand
She has never been to Toledo, forgive her ignorance.
🙂 thank you. Exercise is a must for me, I meditate, pray. But I guess peace will come when it comes. Now I still feel anger, sadness and confusion.

I am so sorry that you’re going through this, my heart goes out to you. I won’t pretend to know what you’re going through as I’ve never been through your situation, but I do agree with others that counseling helps for any type of emotional trauma.
When it comes to our physical health, if we feel sick we go to the doctor and seek treatment. Our mental and emotional wellness is as important, so I hope that you will find the right fit for you (when it comes to counselors), as it sometimes takes a couple tries. Also I don’t know what your spiritual beliefs are, but I will pray that you will find peace in your memories with him. ❤️
Here are a couple of resources.

Death is death though. And for both of us (meaning me and you) we lost someone suddenly, we did not see it coming. 🙏 my prayers I'm glad you're not self sabotaging as much. 💗💗 keep working on it Queen.

on the rise more and more. Harder drugs are being synthesized now by dealers (fentanyl). It is a silent pandemic. My scorpio lived through a lot trauma and pain, he numbed it with drugs. He avoided crying always, the underlying issue was too hard for him.Posted by PhoenixStormPosted by dilettantePosted by PhoenixStormPosted by KimboSlicePosted by FactCheckPosted by Arielle83

I live in Toledo
my condolences
Yeah it’s sad. My cousin is a recovering addict, she is now a nurse. I’m proud of her. ❤️ But yeah Toledo is full of heroin addicts it breaks my heart. It’s sad and frustrating. When I worked at the hospital we would get a lot of them on my floor.click to expand

You too ❤️
Heroin was his choice of drug, but I failed to mention. The toxicology results only showed cocaine and fentanyl. I remember some things he said to me the night before. He said " I dont know if I could live with myself knowing I relapsed being with you" this is when I asked if he relapsed......he kept denying. He also said "why can't we live in the moment, and be happy right now, what if there is no tomorrow". Part of me thinks he did it on purpose.
I also failed to mention. Me and him left the party together and during the party he was with me the whole time. An old friend of his that was supposed to come to the party decided to call him at 1am. He was going to stay outside just to say hello but they ended up driving back to the party. He did let me know this was happening, but he told me he was going to be quick, just wanted to pick up his gifts he forgot there and come back right away. Well that didnt happen. I was up all night waiting, texting and calling. Finally got a hold of him at 6am. He poured his heart out to me blah blah and 4 days later.....dead.

So sorry 😢
This sounds truly unbearable.
It is extremely difficult to lose someone you love to drugs. Not just in the sense of them dying but while it's happening and they make the choice to go back. It is heart wrenching and almost feels like such betrayal to your connection as they make such a seemingly selfish decision. The feelings are unexplainable. I've dealt with my sister as a heroin addict all my life so I understand but not to the extent of a lover. My heart goes out to you for that.
Now that he has passed and everyone is cooped up in their homes, you must be in agony some moments over it. But you are stronger than you know. We all are. It's ok to feel any type of way but try to see the light in things. Drug addictions are horrific. Especially heroin. He does not have to suffer his pain of temptation and you eventually will live bright and happy again. You can always talk to him. I'm sure you have. Send him all the good vibes, love and forgiveness even if you have to write it out in a letter. Send him off with love and don't trap him in the sadness. I'm a firm believer in that.
