In September 09, a reddit user known as /u/SpontaneousH made a post in /r/iama about his first use of heroin. He snorted some and thought it was great, but was going to avoid doing it again to avoid becoming addicted. Within a fortnight, he was addicted and injecting. Within a month, he'd been admitted to a psychiatric hospital, due to overdosing on fentanyl (basically super heroin), diphenhydramine (antihistamines), pregbalin (epilepsy medication), temazepam (a psychoactive), and oxymorphone (another opioid), and required several doses of Narcan (an anti opioid) to be revived. Two days later, he was off to rehab. During the year that he spent posting these updates, they mostly flew under the radar, and most everyone who actually saw them forgot about them, until 7 years later, he dropped in with another update to say he's been clean for almost 6 years, and that his life is going well.
