Be strong as sometimes you may have to lie about how much drugs you have had that night, e.g: "I have already had far too much tonight", or, "Sorry dude, it doesn't agree with my chest, I get really bad asthma". When declining the offer keep strong but calm, if you become too abrasive to the dealer there could be consequences, for they are most likely interpreting your decline differently than your meaning. Keep in mind, people who offer you drugs, are most likely on drugs.
Steps
1Realize that abusing drugs may lead to devastating events in people's lives. These could include prison, homelessness, serious medical problems such as an overproduction of serotonin and even death.
2Think about what other things in life you can achieve such as activities that are more fulfilling than drugs. Maybe investing in a career, or practicing an instrument. Drugs can destroy family ties, so spend time strengthening bonds with your family and friends.
3Examine all activities broadly, to help you Discover What You Really Want from a New Career. Think about the compliments received from utilizing your skills, the rewards of pursuing an interesting career, or how much your new found self-esteem really means to you. Write down your goals and tick each goal as you achieve it. Don't set your goals too high, make sure they are reasonable, or you will just set yourself up for failure.
4Compare the results, long term and short term, of your new lifestyle. If you were taking drugs, the results would never be as good.
5Realize that enjoying life and pursuing new interests is more satisfying and EASIER (long term anyway) than abusing drugs.
6Prepare yourself for occasions where strangers may offer drugs to you. It could be a street corner or a party. By now, you should be able to tell the person why you choose to refuse or chose not to participate in what they are offering. If in a moment of weakness you choose to try drugs again, first, think it through very carefully. Second, make sure you are in a safe environment with people you love and trust.
7Try to associate with people who do not use drugs, and avoid situations where they will be used and given to you. Try immersing yourself in activities that are made more difficult by drugs, such as driving, talking on the phone, learning something new, or jogging.
8Have a good friend who you can talk to about any situation where you are tempted to take drugs. This will help you be more accountable, and it should provide you with positive feedback from someone who genuinely cares about you.
9Remember that the future is full of promise and abusing drugs might rob you of those beautiful things in life.
10Look at the list of people who have been destroyed, even killed, by drugs. Just because many Rock Stars, actors or friends use them doesn't make them cool; you must make your own decisions. For every star who looks cool taking drugs, there is one who is in rehab, or has died.
11Forgive yourself if you feel you made a mistake by trying drugs. If you don't make mistakes in life, how will you learn? Accept your mistakes and don't be hypocritical when you see people around you making the same mistakes. The thing that matters is what lies ahead of you, not what is in your past. [Leave the Past Behind]. The past has taught you a valuable lesson. Learning from your mistakes has made you a stronger person today.
12Just say NO. Make sure you are firm and strong. If you come across as weak the person following you will latch on.
13Walk away. Try and lose them if at all possible. Find a crowded location or look for somewhere you can find someone responsible and reputable. If you're in school, find a teacher. If you're not in school, move to step 3.
14Tell an adult about it. Make sure that you alert the appropriate person about the encounter. Give all the details you can.
15Call the police or an authoritative person. This step is the one to take if your encounter is outside a school. It is important, however, to perform step 2 before starting to call police. If they hear you, they may become angry or violent.
16Avoid further encounters. You should avoid the person who offered drugs at all costs. It would also be advisable to avoid the place where you were encountered.
17Change the subject. example: No thanks, lets go play some baseball.
18State a fact. example: No thanks! My parents would ground me for life!
Autopsy results: Whitney’s death was deemed to be from drowning because of effects from heart disease and cocaine abuse. She was found by her assistant face down in the bath tub, and had been dead about an hour. She suffered from atherosclerotic heart disease and emphysema, and had a “perforation in her posterior nasal septum,” which is a common symptom of chronic cocaine use. All of her natural upper teeth had been replaced with dental implants. There was cocaine, marijuana, Xanax, and Flexeril in Whitney’s system at the time of her death.
UPDATE! Whitney’s family says they were told she didn’t have enough water in her lungs to have drowned, but that it looks more like she died from a toxic mixture of Xanax and alcohol.
Drugs caused "congestive heart failure". Remember nothing good comes out of using drugs. Only 3 possible things can happen.
1) Jail / Institutions
2) Rehab / Recovery (if one is lucky)
3) DEATH
It's as Simple as That!
She had a pharmacy running thru her veins especially street drugs.
I think it was natural causes, but the drugs she did in life didn't help her either
where have you been? this is old news lol but yes drug related, believe she was found in the bath of a hotel room.
In a bath tub.
