Heroin use can lead to several cardiovascular conditions. These include heart disease and stroke, which are associated with very high mortality rates (i.e., death). The risk factors for heart disease and stroke include high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes. Heroin use doubles the risk of heart disease in some users, while the number of strokes is three times greater compared to non-users. addiction rehab

If you struggle with substance abuse disorder, you are anything but alone. Millions of Americans struggle with drug abuse addiction. Though addiction has the power to ruin lives, recovery is possible. Addiction is a chronic illness, just like arthritis, depression, or autoimmune diseases. While addiction does not have miracle “cures,” you can overcome. Methods like rehab, talk therapy, and medication management help people stay sober.

Remember to leave kudos and a comment on the fics you enjoyed to show your appreciation! You can find the library's other recs here.
🍊 Own the Scars by @crinkle-eyed-boo {E, 144k}
“But I don’t belong here,” Louis insists.“Why do you say that?” James asks.“These people are all drug addicts and alcoholics,” Louis shrugs.Something sparks in James’ eyes.“And you’re not?”
Louis has never felt like he was good enough: for his stepdad, for his life-long best friend, for the life he's supposed to want. After an accident that nearly costs him his life, Louis' parents send him to rehab where he’s forced to face his demons. On the long and difficult road to recovery, Louis must confront the truths he’s been avoiding about his future, his relationships, and his sense of self-worth. Because before he can love anyone else, he’s got to learn how to love himself first.
🍊 California Sold by @isthatyoularry {M, 123k}
Notoriously closeted boyband member Harry Styles is famous on a global scale, meanwhile Louis, as his best friend, is back home in Manchester, living the typical life of a 24 year old. When Harry needs Louis with him in LA, a publicity stunt gone wrong changes their friendship forever.
A fake-relationship AU between two lifelong best friends.
🍊 I'll Fly Away by @juliusschmidt {E, 122k}
Harry and Louis grew up together in Lake County, Harry with his mom and stepdad in a tiny cottage on Edward’s Lake and Louis in his family’s farmhouse a few minutes down the road. But after high school, Louis stuck around and Harry did not; Harry went to Chicago where he found a boyfriend and couple of college degrees. Six years later, Harry ends up back in Edwardsville for the summer and he and Louis fall into old patterns and discover new ones.
ft. One Direction, the local boyband; Horan’s Bar and Grill; families, most especially children and babies; Officer Liam Payne; many local festivals and fireworks displays; and Anne Cox, PFLAG President.
🍊 Heading for Limbo by @kingsofeverything {E, 100k}
Childhood best friends who’ve fallen in and out of touch with each other since Louis’ family moved away when they were thirteen, Harry and Louis find their paths crossing again and again. Each time, no matter how many miles apart or how many years it’s been, it’s as if no time has passed. They fall back into their easy friendship, until life intervenes and sends them on their separate ways once more.
When Harry discovers some life-changing things about himself, Louis is there for him, however he needs. But it’s all temporary because Louis has plans that will move his life from New York all the way to L.A. and the distance isn’t the only thing between them.
The pieces of their twice broken hearts are scattered from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
🍊 When the Lights Go Out by thelarenttrap / @antidotetogo {E, 79k}
“Louis, what do you have to say about how last week ended?” the reporter asks. There’s a moment of silence. Harry is looking at the reporter, but eventually gives in and looks down the table at Louis. He’s looking straight ahead, as if Harry isn’t even in the room. “If you can’t take the heat, then get out of the kitchen.” Harry leans forwards, placing his arms on the table and leaning onto them to get as close to his microphone as he can while looking at Louis. “And what’s that supposed to mean?” Louis turns to him, his icy blue eyes meeting Harry's. “Driving is your fuckin’ job, act like it.”
In its near eighty years of existence, Formula 1 has never had an out gay driver. In 2017, Harry Styles signs a contract with Scuderia AlphaTauri alongside his childhood friend and competitor, Louis Tomlinson. The next decade of their careers is some of the most tumultuous press--on and off the track--Formula 1 has ever seen.
aka the one where Louis and Harry are childhood friends to enemies to lovers over the course of 15 ish years.
🍊 Bottom of the Tenth (series) by kikikryslee / @flamboyantommo {M, 60k}
As Harry stood there, the other man turned around, and he knew he was correct in who he thought it was. “Louis?” he asked, still not quite believing it. Louis blinked. “Harry? Wh– what are you doing here?” “I work here,” Harry said. “What are you doing here?” “Um, I’m picking up my brother. The nurse called and said he was sick.” Harry felt like he was going to be sick. “Wait, Ernest is your brother? Since when do you have a brother?” “Since about seven years ago, I guess. Wait, how do you know Ernest?” “I’m his teacher.” “You’re his what?” Louis exclaimed. Harry gulped. This was going to be a long year.
Or, the AU where Louis and Harry were best friends growing up, but lost touch after Harry moved away. Ten years later, Harry has moved back to town, but he and Louis don't pick up where they left off.
🍊 Never Let Me Go by loveisalaserquest17 {E, 55k}
“Harry! I’ll tell you what,” Louis exclaims, clapping his hands together. There’s a big grin on his face. “If both of us are still single by your thirtieth birthday, we’ll marry each other.”Harry’s head snaps up, eyes widening. “What?”
Harry and Louis have been friends forever, but they couldn't be more different. One night, with a little too much alcohol, they make a pact to marry in ten years if they're both still single. Now, one month before the deadline, Louis is willing to do whatever it takes to avoid ending up with his best friend. But is he, really? | Loosely inspired by The 10 Year Plan
🍊 Faking It by TheCellarDoor / @donotdialnine {M, 46k}
A uni AU in which Louis has been Harry’s best friend since he offered him cubed fruit on the playground, and they spend more time cuddling in their dorm beds than they do apart, but it’s not like that. Or is it?
Aka Harry pretends to date his best friend to escape unwanted attention from a too insistent classmate and hopes it won’t blow up in his face. Featuring embarrassing dildo accidents, awkward boners, longing, first times, late night conversations, emotional discoveries and Niall as the exasperated friend with bad advice.
🍊 it always leads to you (in my hometown) by @insightfulinsomniac {E, 40k}
Doncaster hasn’t changed much since Harry left it nine years ago to chase his dreams in LA. Harry, on the other hand, has changed a lot.
Except for one thing — he’s still desperately in love with his childhood best friend and first boyfriend, Louis Tomlinson. Who he hasn’t spoken to for the same nine long years.
A holiday story of returning home — not just to a place, but also to a person. ‘tis the damn season and This Love inspired AU.
🍊 Canyon Moon by delsicle / @eeveedel {E, 40k}
For as long as Louis has remembered, he has been promised to be mated to Harry, his best friend and the future pack alpha. But Louis’s heart belonged to the forest and to the hunt more than he could ever imagine it belonging to Harry.
Then Harry’s father dies in a violent accident, and Louis’s future alpha disappears on the wind.
An A/B/O Lion King AU
🍊 Snow In Love by @lululawrence {NR, 33k}
Harry and Louis are best friends and have been for basically as long as they can remember. For the first time since middle school, they are both single for the holidays leaving them with the brilliant idea to take each other as their dates to work events. To make things easier they will pretend like they’re dating. But then they learn something funny.
People thought they were already dating. Weird.
An advent fic featuring childhood friends, fake dating turned actual dating, really horrible secret keeping, and a winter weather surprise.
🍊 Oh, We're In Love, Aren't We? by Rearviewdreamer / @all-these-larrythings {M, 30k}
After sixteen wonderful years of friendship, it's hard to imagine any grand (and usually dumb) plans they haven't had or some type of mischief they haven't gotten into together. But, when Harry suddenly finds himself without a fiance and Louis just wants to help him feel okay again, they realize falling in love is one thing they haven't done, and that's about to change.
🍊 Forever Never Comes by Larry_you_know / @larryyouknow {M, 25k}
Victorian au, where Harry Styles, the youngest son of the Duke of Sutherland, was always a little in love with his childhood friend Louis Tomlinson, the young Earl of Doncaster, though he would never have told him in a million years. Especially since Louis never showed him any signs of romantic affection. But now Louis has invited him (and his sister Gemma) to London, and many things may not be as they have seemed.
🍊 I Wanna Be More Than Friends by @2tiedships2 {NR, 20k}
He hadn't meant to scent Harry. They were best friends and that was it. Scenting best friends wasn't exactly socially acceptable.
"Lou," Harry whispered.
Louis jumped at his name and sat up straighter to provide a bit of distance between himself and Harry.
"You can't scent me, Lou," Harry stated.
Which of course Louis couldn't scent him. They were best friends.
"I mean," Harry continued. "I wouldn't mind exactly, but if I can't scent you, I don't think you should scent me."
"What do you mean you can't scent me? I mean, I get it because we're best friends but..."
"I mean I can't smell you, Louis. I fucking can't smell you. I can't smell anything, okay?"
Or the one where Harry’s an alpha with no sense of smell, Louis’ an omega who isn’t allowed to scent his best friend, and that’s all they’ll ever be. Obviously.
🍊 threadbare by kiwikero / @icanhazzalou {M, 20k}
Harry Styles was eight years old when Louis Tomlinson kept him from falling into a machine in a Manchester textile mill.
He was 18 years old when nothing, not even the threat of death, could keep Harry from falling in love with Louis.
🍊 Restless Lane by @jaerie {E, 14k}
Louis had grown used to his boring life back in Mississippi as a stand-in father figure to his siblings. He never expected his childhood friend to show up on his lawn with the heat of summer or that he would remind Louis how much of himself he'd tucked away and neglected. He also never expected to find himself caught up in a tangled web of feelings or secrets that just might break him. Maybe he had never known Harry at all.
🍊 you and I love like it's a secret by we_are_the_same / @so-why-let-your-voice-be-tamed {T, 4k}
Louis swallows, looking at Harry, who grins at him as though nothing’s wrong. He’s leaning against the door of a wardrobe, his long hair having lost some of its curls due to the amount of times he’s run his fingers through it. Louis is still where he was the moment the door got closed behind them, all but pressed up against the wood, trying to keep as much distance between him and Harry as possible.
His heart stutters in his chest as he looks up at his best friend. He’s known Harry since he was barely out of diapers, and Harry gets him in a way that few people ever have – or have tried to. He knows him, to the point where sometimes Louis worries that he’s able to read his mind.
Or: It's Seven minutes in Heaven, but Louis sort of feels like he's ended up in Hell instead when he's forced into a small bedroom with his childhood best friend slash long time crush.
🍊 All The Way Home I'll Be Warm by @justanothershadeofblue {T, 2k}
Harry & Louis jokingly send out holiday cards together as friends, and now everyone is congratulating them for finally getting together. A 5+1 fic, for Christmas.
🍊 What’s in a Name by @hellolovers13 {T, 2k}
Louis had always known Harry was his soulmate.
The name on his arm disagreed.
But what did his soulmark know about true love anyway.
🍊 captivity by momentofclarity / @gaycousinlarry {G, 1k}
you get to a point in life when your secrets aren't as holy as they once were.

Why Didn’t You Tell Me? Chapter 2: Sweet Girl
Words: 872
warnings: *angst* *fluff* *pregnancy* *mentions of drug* *mentions of alcohol* *rehab* *cussing*
You wake up from your deep sleep from the sedative. Everything is so hazy and sickening to look at. The pains of the withdrawal are becoming more apparent and you feel so nauseous from the pregnancy and from not using your goods. It's been a rough 16 hours for you. You notice that Nikki is still next to you holding on to your hand. He has his head down staring at the floor. You jolt up from your lying position thinking you're in danger. You forgot the place you were in. You wish this was all a dream. You start to freak out and you get up from bed.
“Fuck Fuck Fuck.” You say as you freak out.
"Shhh, it's okay Y/N you're safe. It's better for you if you lay down you look pale,” He says worriedly.
“Nikki I can’t do this please just get me out of here.” You plead with him.
“Y/N it's going to be fine. I spoke with the doctors here and they said I could stay here with you.” He says gently.
You realize there is nothing you can do to get out of this place so you give up and lay down back on your bed.
“Nikki I have a question,” you say softly
“What is it?” He asks tenderly holding your hand
“What happens if I don't listen to the doctors?” You say very exhaustedly.
“Why is that even a question?” Nikki says in an upset tone.
"You'll only hurt yourself and our baby if you don't listen to them,” Nikki says quietly.
A doctor comes into the room and they start to talk to you about how everything is going to work and how rehab will be since you're pregnant. They ask you if you have your phone and they say you have to give it to them. You hand them your Blackberry phone without fighting anyone. Nikki smiles at you for not protesting.
“Okay the bathroom is right there but it will have a door that doesn't lock.” The male doctor says.
The doctor starts to walk out of your room.
“Nikki I feel sick and I need to puke,” you say.
Nikki quickly gets up and grabs a bucket from the room.
“Here puke in this,” He says.
You start to heave everything in your stomach. Nikki rubs your back and tries to support you with everything you feel.
“When will everything be better?” You start to sob.
Nikki doesn't say anything. He can only help you by letting you go through your emotions. He wraps his arms around you. He holds you tenderly in his arms while you sob. He tries so hard for his emotions not to get in the way. He wants to fix everything for you but he can't and that is eating him alive. He rests his chin on your head.
"I'm sorry babe this is my fault. If I had known earlier I could have stopped you from getting into a bad habit,” he says while his tone indicates he is very sad and upset.
"Nikki, it's a girl. Our baby is a girl” you say quietly as you sniffle.
Nikki's face lights up immediately.
“A girl?” he says as a smile creeps up on his face.
“When did you find out?” Nikki asks curiously.
“A few weeks ago I went to the doctor for an ultrasound and the doctor asked if I wanted to know the baby's gender. I said sure and the doc said it was a girl.”
“Our sweet girl,” Nikki says softly.
He put the palm of his hand on your stomach which was starting to bulge a bit.
“Our baby is already getting bigger already,” He says with a small smile on his face.
“Nikki, I think after all of this we should just leave this place and move to New York. I hate California”
“I'll think about it,” Nikki says smiling.
The nurse came in accompanying your doctor whose name is Kelly.
“Hi, I'm Doctor Kelly and I'll be your doctor while you are in rehab. Okay, first things first we have to do an examination. It's protocol and we couldn't do it earlier because you were being uncooperative,” Doctor Kelly says.
“Sorry about that," you mutter.
The nurse and Doctor Kelly bring you and Nikki to an examination room. The doctor has a file in her hand. It says your name on it.
“Okay, Mrs. Sixx we know that you are three months pregnant is that correct?.” She asks.
“Yes,” you say, avoiding eye contact.
“Okay, first we need to do a physical exam. So we are going to take your height, weight, and blood pressure and then we will move on to other things in a moment.” The doctor says sounding professional.
“We will also need to make sure the baby is okay if that is okay with you.” She says.
“Sure.” You and Nikki say as you give a smile.
“Is this much nausea normal?” you ask.
“Yeah especially when you're going through withdrawals and the morning sickness.” Doctor Kelly says.
“We also have to take some blood tests to make sure nothing is wrong, is that okay?” She asks you.
“Yeah,” you reply.

Hello
Version 5.5
Introductions Are stupid.
Hey. How goes it?
I'm 36. Caucasian male. Goth-punk. I live in a small-town of 2000 people right in the center of the drunken state of Wisconsin. It is not even close to as fun as that sounds, and it doesn't sound all that fun to begin with. For work, I am a kitchen manager at one place and a line cook at another. I work seven days a week, because I've really got nothing better to do. Forces me out of the house. Makes me be social. And I actually really like what I do. I've been working in the industry for twenty odd years.
I listen to all music, and I'm not just saying that. I actually do. You can go through my main playlist, and you'll find everything from Slayer to Britney Spears to Alan Jackson to The Casualties to Katy Perry etc.… My favorite band of all time is the Descendents. But standing tall in second place is Amigo the Devil and Frank Turner rounding out my top 3. But you should tell me your favorites song, or one that means something to you, I need new music to memorize.
I'm mentally screwed and quite medicated. I have come to peace with this fact. I've been as stable as I can get for a good four years now. So that's neat. I am a raging cynic. I am a recovering addict, long-term. 8 Years. I am sober a little over two. I am a major cinephile, especially when it comes to the glory of the 80's slasher movie. I absolutely adore weird movies. The last film I watched that I really liked was Kinds of Kindness. I thought it was brilliant. My favorite movie of all time is Tommy Wiseau's masterpiece "The Room." I mean that 100%. That movie is the best thing to ever be put on film and I will fight and die upon this hill. I write more than any sane and healthy person should write, but I'm far from sane and I'm far from healthy. I post at least once a day, but sometimes I can post over ten. My notes app on my phone is scary looking.
I do not write for anyone's actual approval. Not even my own really. I do this because it's the only addiction I have that isn't actively trying to kill me and is actually trying to better me as a person and get in touch with unresolved feelings and places that will never have closure.
I will always love constructive criticism. But please, for the love of all the love in the world, don't just tell me I suck. I get that. It's a massive part of my whole gig. Please, give me a reason why I suck, what I'm doing wrong in your eyes. Help me to better this craft I play with. Seriously, I love it. But if you can't give me a reason, maybe it's best you keep that food-hole shut, and stop trying to be a dick, dick.
So since, I write some much, what topics to a tap dance to the grave with? I'm pretty predictable. So, this stuff: The Girl with the Ocean Blue Eyes, Kid, The Broken Mirror Girl, My Junkie Angel, The Girl from California, The Best Friend, The Drunk*, love, lost lovers, hopelessness, isolation, drug addiction, alcoholism, depression, forgotten acquaintances, mental illnesses, rage, hate, rejection, joy, insignificant moments, slices of life, laughter, beauty, self and self-reflection, self-hate, art, other writers, panic, infatuations, obsession, therapy, group homes, rehab, jail, grace, nature, loss, hope, fear, grief, anguish, philosophy, anarchism, nihilism, religion, god, the devil, ugliness, politics, serial killers, cults, suicide, death, destruction, chaos, music, validation, closure, memory, enemies, friends, rock bottom, sex, violence, rock and roll, sin, self-exploration, bipolar disorder, schizoaffective disorder, pain, self-destruction much more.
Consider this little spot your trigger warning.
I make music as well as the writing gig. Go tell me I suck at it.
I know about the typos. I am very aware. You don't need to tell me, because I'm probably not going to fix them anyway. Besides, you can figure it out.
There's bare bones about me and what I'm about and where I stand. If there is anything else you'd want to know for some godforsaken reason, go ahead and message me. I may not be real good at it, I do enjoy having fifteen second conversations.
*NOT REAL NAMES

Title: The Things We Leave behind
Author: Briston
Artist: Merv (fruitmixtape)
Rating: Mature
Pairings: Dean/Cas
Length: 52000
Warnings: minor character death, discussion of historical child abuse, substance use disorder.
Tags: Alternate Universe, Angst with a Happy Ending, Established Castiel/Dean Winchester, Divorce Arc, Bad Parent John Winchester, Alcohol Abuse, Rehab, Discussion of Cheating, Alcoholic Dean Winchester, Recovering Alcoholic Dean Winchester
Posting Date: October 31, 2023
Summary: Cas has been getting progressively worried about Dean’s drinking for a while but mentioning it only causes tension in their marriage. The sudden death of Dean’s father brings everything to the breaking point. After a particularly bad fight, his husband seeks solace in whiskey and flirty women in the aftermath. When Cas finds out, he decides he’s had his fill, packs his bags, and leaves. Sam lives in California and has built a career as a well respected addictions counselor. When Cas calls to tell him that Dean is missing on a bender and their marriage is likely over, he drops everything to come to Kansas to find his brother. Dean clearly needs help. Sam convinces him to go with him to California and go through a rehab program. Dean only agrees because Cas refuses to have anything to do with him unless he stops drinking permanently. If he can't, their marriage is finished. Along the way, Sam and Dean discover that their father left them with more than just painful memories of a traumatic childhood. Their half-brother Adam might be exactly who they need to help pull all the fractured pieces together. Cas is giving Dean one last chance to turn things around. Nothing is easy, but maybe it’s still worth fighting for.
Excerpt: “You know the only difference that would have made was that you would be as miserable as he was.” Cas grabbed both of their toothbrushes and toothpaste from the ensuite bathroom, tossing Dean’s his way. “I could’ve tried harder to get him to quit, go to rehab or something.” The toiletries went in the bag with some deodorant, a flannel, and some denim. He shot Cas a dirty look when he heard him huff in exasperation. “How many times did you ask him to quit? Remember when Sam flew in for an intervention? He’s a professional addictions counselor and the only thing that happened was that Sam flew home with a black eye and a refusal to ever come back.” “That’s just because they’re too much alike and can’t stop themselves from fighting.” Dean was starting to raise his voice. Cas wasn’t having any of it. “No,” he knew he sounded snarky as shit but was so very tired of having the same argument about John Winchester’s parenting skills. “It’s because your father is a narcissistic asshole with undiagnosed mental health issues that he self-medicates with whiskey.” Dean walked around the bed to where Cas was and grabbed his arm. The grip wasn’t rough but it wasn’t gentle either. His green eyes were anguished and pleading. “Don’t say that, he could be dying right now.” Somewhere deep down Cas knew he should be feeling guilty about just how little empathy he had for John right then. He’d feel more compassion for a complete stranger than he did for the man who had hurt Dean again and again, both as a child and as an adult. He felt a small flash of resentment at having to defend Dean from his own negative thinking. “It was always going to be this way with him, Dean. Every counselor you’ve ever had has told you the same thing for years. You are not responsible for fixing him. Don’t kill yourself trying to be accepted by someone who doesn’t even deserve you.”

Gabriel "Gabe" Alexander Cortez was born into a rather large family as the middle child, consisting of seven children (including him), in Austin, Texas by Xiomara & Rafael Cortez. He grew up very close to his family barely wanting to leave home until he turned 20, and he dreamed of exploring more on his own and learn more about himself without his family, as much as he loved them. The family held close values so they really cared about family time.
His first stay away from home was in Los Angeles, California at 21 where he explored his loved of mixology and culinary but was unsure which path to take. That was until he got offered a modeling job while he was just at a local store. Suspicion but it all seemed to work out - for the most part. To Gabe it was always just a job, until he met his then girlfriend. They were absolutely smitten in months.
It took about a year before everything started crashing down around him. He did a photoshoot with another guy and they were looking rather cozy, even hung out and became friends after words. It left to Gabriel's girlfriend's jealousy and even some rumours started coming out of him cheating and being secretly gay. Though this did soon help Gabe find out he was bisexual at the time, he wasn't worried about it. Trying to get his relationship to work out, adding on top of that his parents divorced and he spiraled, falling into drugs and alcohol to cope with everything. This also lead to his relationship ending, not caring anymore and him properly exploring his bisexuality and coming to terms with it.
Thing got so bad at one point that when his mom visited him in Los Angeles, she was too worried and pushed him to go into rehab and at first he refused, keeping up the bad lifestyle until it took a toll on his mental and physical health. As much was he wanted to just leave California, he needed to get better, but also he needed a good place away from the drama. At first thinking to go back home, but he ended up somewhere else entirely. Going off the grid for a bit to focus on getting better, because he didn't like what he saw in the mirror anymore.
Upon taking time to work on himself, Gabriel moved to New York for a bit, to focus on his former favored skills, finding a love of both cooking and bartending. He also became a bit of a health nut after his time away to get better. It has him going to the gym now daily and really making sure to take care of himself. Once he turned 27, he left New York for New Bellevoux and got his condo downtown his mother's help and got a job as a bartender. After he settled a bit, he got his dog, Baxter who's his entire world right now. Thought there's still apart of him longing to find his perfect person when the time is right.
