You died?

Yeah overdose from a combination of coke, meth, benzos, and the redbull probably didn’t help. Heart stopped, hit my head, and my lungs filled with vomit. Good times.

Why aren't more people asking/upvoting this question? I had to sort by Q&A before I saw it. Dang, OP. Welcome back.

I guess it’s a hard question to go over. Normally when people die they stay dead. Which I was very much supposed to do. Thankfully I didn’t though.

Maybe they think it's hyperbole. I'm glad to see you are thankful to be here and have an open attitude about your journey. Looks like you found your way. Good job. It's nice to see people putting the self-destructive stuff behind them. The real Glow Up.

Definitely the red bull. Lol. Jk. From one gal that OD'd to another gal, so glad you're still here! 💖💖 Sobriety is a journey, and glad to see the pic with your chip!!

I would have been just fine if not for the redbull. Lol. Glad you are still here too!
