A clip from the Hazelden video "Overcast: A Heroin Prevention Video." This video attacks many of the misconceptions about this dangerous and addictive drug through emotionally powerful stories told by recovering heroin addicts and family members of users. Viewers find out why over dose is possible with each use, how easy it is to slide into addiction, and how bleak life becomes when the only thing that matters is staving off withdrawal symptoms.

  • I never use Oxy or "H" to get high. I used it to self-medicate horrendous pain in my stomach and bowel. In a 2 year period I got up to about 180mg per day. I was going broke and knew my use was out of control. I weaned back to about 80mg a day which is enough to keep the pain at bay, but still way too much. Addiction is NO JOKE and every addict has a story. Please pray for addicts and never judge an addict too harshly. If I could control my pain legally I would. Addiction beats suicide...

  • wow i love this video now i can understand more wht my loved one is goin thru!! thanx

  • I was looking up videos about this because I have an acquaintance who has been clean for few months. I want to understand as much as I can without actually knowing; hopefully I'll never know. It's just so hard for me to understand why people start this shit.

  • This really had an impact on me. First comment.
