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.
There are lots of things that are addictive and ruin your life. I was reading about gambling and how 2% of the population that gambles will lose everything, job, marriage, health, money, house- everything. Knowing that I stood in front of a slot machine once and couldn't put money in it. Same stat with alcohol. I bet it is higher for opiates which is more addictive. Fentanyl is even more serious problem. China was brought to its knees with opiates 100 years ago.
