Kurt Cobain would have been 45 years old today. Instead he died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound at the age of 27, on April 8th, 1994. His tox-screen confirmed he had high doses of heroin and diazepam in his blood. This was his second suicide attempt, only this time it was for real. He left behind a suicide note, a wife, a child and many who were brokenhearted to hear of his death.
What happened here? What put him over the edge?
Drug use causes a lot of damage to the brain and the body. The real fight with drugs however is often when we come down from the high. Getting sober is like a constant coming down from the high we have been feeling and have been used to for quite some time.
That is why it can be extremely dangerous to quit drugs on your own. The first six months can be hell and it is this time some of us are closest to the edge.
Don't do drugs, it's not worth it.
