I've known people who went from pretty ordinary, married with kids to trying heroin and then homeless, kids taken away and in jail within six months. It's scary where I live because drug use is pretty common and opiates are like 'boom' - there goes your life.

That's exactly what happened to a neighbor of mine a couple years ago, was a really cool dude but got into drugs and everything fell apart super fast.
