Ali was a beautiful, smart, and talented teenager with loving parents. But after high school something prompted her to try heroin. Her parents noticed changes in her and sent her to a rehabilitation facility after Ali eventually admitted the impact it was having on her. After treatment, they asked what she would tell her friends about trying drugs. Her advice: “Just turn and run.” She urged that “just saying no” wasn’t enough. Tragically, Ali relapsed and died at age twenty-two of an overdose. In an attempt to keep others from the same fate, her heartbroken parents appeared on a local news program encouraging listeners to “run for Ali” by staying far from situations where they could be exposed to drugs and other dangers.
I don't understand, she died of overdose. So was she continuing drugs after rehab or was it something during rehab.
The only thing I see wrong here is the name, and I made sure from wiki, Ali is a male name Spoiler: here is something to help with the message
It is mainly a male name. But I thought this was a made-up story to deter others from drugs, no links. Edit - I was wrong.
It is a real story, I saw a news clip on it on YouTube a few months ago but could not locate it This is a religious link but its the best source I can find at the moment https://odb.org/2019/09/18/turn-and-run Also the name is probably Ailee
Lmao, wiki. But yeah, it is no doubt a Males name, it's most definitely a nickname or an abbreviation of the original full name in this particular context.
The thing about heroin is that it's one of the most addicting drugs out there, top 3 easily--just one try is enough to get you hooked. Like most drugs, it's easy to build a tolerance. However, the addiction will cause you to be more dependant on it, and with the tolerance, you need to use more and more to get your high. That's why it's so easy to overdose on heroin. Even rehab has limited success to completely cure heroin addiction. Drug rehab isn't a physical therapy, so the only way to see progress is through sheer will power. All they do in drug rehab is locked you up with other drug addicts along with therapists and psychologists until you seem past the withdrawal/dependancy stage. So more often than not, you'll see relapses.
It was Alison. I did some digging after your comment. Here are the related links https://fox59.com/2017/05/12/parents-share-message-after-daughters-heroin-overdose/amp/ The charity walk https://www.eventbrite.com/e/run-for-ali-5k-runwalk-tickets-71225841409
Thats why man, follow great figures like bob Marley and snoop and stop it at marijuana. That shit is leeeegit!! . PS- joking, don't do anything that messes with Ur brain. We don't even know completely how our brain works so it says even more not to mess up something you don't know about. It's Very hard not get incorporated when all your friends think it's normal, and view it as being part of "brohood", but you need to politely decline even if ur curious.
Yeah, vaping has started killing people. Because it isn't like cigarettes, people underestimated the danger.
I’ll be a hypocrite saying this, but overdoing anything is bad for you. My current addiction is reading novels. I have had TV addiction, manga addiction, addiction to losing weight (borderline anorexic), I have been addicted to running before (till I hurt my knee), driving car addiction. I never allow myself to touch cigarettes or drugs or gamble, but I’m afraid I have alcoholic tendencies despite drinking no more than a glass of something like beer per week. Addiction can be in many forms, but perhaps it comes from a habit that stems out of boredom (in my case), or insecurity (in the case of peer pressure, but for that you need to have some fake friends in the first place), or some other emotional state. Of course real hard drugs are dangerous and addictive and all that, but so are painkillers like panadol, or nasal spray for blocked sinuses. I guess we just need to be conscious of our daily habits and try to keep things in moderation??
bleugh! as if heroin was a real problem ._. first lets get rid of the big boys smoking and drinking v.v
I had an Aunt who, after decades of drugs and abusive boyfriends, came to live with us in the old family home. she was addicted to alcohol, heroin, and crack cocaine. after living with us for a few years, some years back , she went on a two-week-long bender (for those not in the know a bender is like a binge-drinking spree) where she would down alcohol and drugs basically like they were water. we tried helping her the whole time she lived with us and even before that my father tried his best to get his sister away from abusive boyfriends and away from the drugs. she never listened, instead, she must have decided she'd had enough of this world because after drinking vodka like it was water and presumably doing crack in similar amounts for two weeks she disappeared. then my father's mother(my grandmother) informed us they had located her in a nearby hospital in a comatose state. the last time I saw my Aunt conscious, she was drunk, and the last time I saw her alive she was comatose. addiction is one of the hardest things to deal with, both for the addict and for a caring family who just wants to see them get out of the drugs and alcohol. too many places treat addicts like criminals instead of treating them like patients who need help. my brothers Best friend has alcoholic tendencies in his family and in recent years he has gotten really really bad with the drinking, we have tried to help without pushing him away but instead, he found himself a girlfriend who is a bartender and has begun enabling his alcoholism so he stays with her. that isn't to say alcohol and drugs are bad, anything used excessively can bring harm to you, everything depends on moderation and knowing your limits, or listening to friends who truly care for you. I love food, but if I were to just start gorging myself on everything I could eat it could easily kill me in just a day or two. hell some people here can attest that they are addicted to reading novels and other literature, but if you start forgetting to eat, bathe, sleep constantly to read more then you should seek help~ TL;DR what I'm trying to say is, do what you want with your life but know the consequences of your actions don't always fall on just you, try to be moderate with your vices, and don't judge others too harshly. I try to live my life this way(even if I don't always succeed)
Because my mom was a cigarette addicted when she was pregnant I had a lot of trouble when I was young. I remember being 7 8 yo trying to find some cigarette in the streets, when I was 13 yo I smoked a little bit of it and I turned into an animal, my stepfather had to beat the shit out of me to control me. That's why I totally despise pregnant people drinking alcohol or smoking cigarettes.
Some kids are born drunk if their mothers drank during pregnancy and I am not joking. It is a real thing https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2794811/ I was tricked into drinking canned Heineken as a kid I have drunk wine for wine class but I rather drink Grape juice or Root beer(zero alcohol content)
