TIFU by almost dying of an opioid overdose while on vacation

This happened two days ago. I am on vacation in Mexico, staying at a resort with my wife’s parents and my parents are 30 minutes away at another hotel. Two days ago we all ventured into town for lunch. On our walk I noticed a bunch of pharmacies advertising medicine than would require a prescription in the U.S. We decide on our place for lunch but have 30 minutes to kill. My curiosity got the better of me so I walked into the closest pharmacy to assess the situation. I was in shock as the pharmacist explained I could buy anything without a prescription. Options included Xanax, steroid, viagra, and obviously pain killers.

I don’t abuse pills and I rarely drink but I like to have fun once in a while. For example the last time I did coke was 2 years, Xanax every couple of months. Everything in moderation.

So how could I pass this up? A nice painkiller to take before bed and another for the beach the next day? So I bought 2 pills for $60 USD. I told my wife and she was a little skeptical but I reassured her by showing her the pharmacy. It’s not like a pharmacy would sell bad pills, right?!?!

After dinner I took one pill. I immediately noticed that it tasted weird and instinctively regretted taking it. I opened my phone and googled M30 green pill (M30 being the inscription on the pill). Due to bad Internet the page never loaded.

The next thing I remember was waking up in a hospital bed with my wife by my side and a tube down my throat. I was so confused but quickly realized what had happened. She explained the rest.

My wife walked in and saw me swaying. She also said I looked pale and gray. I then lied down and become unresponsive. She grabbed my phone to call my friend who she knows does opioids to see if this is normal. As she opens my phone the google search for M30 green pills loads. Every result mentions fake pills laced with fentanyl. She calls in her parents who are in the room over with family friends. They come over and see what’s happening. Her father picked me up to “shake” me back to life. It didn’t work.

My wife simultaneously calls the front desk. Emt arrived minutes later with the resident doctor.

At this point I was not breathing. My lungs completely shut down and emt was breathing for me. These people saved my life and stabilized me.

I get to the hospital where the doctor is convinced my lungs have collapsed. He ordered tubes be put down my throat to assist with breathing. My throat still hurts. I believe they then tapered this off until my lungs too over.

My parents then arrived and I am so happy they didn’t see me at the worst of it.

Today, I am honestly still in shock. I keep thinking what if things didn’t happened how they did. If my wife didn’t open my phone or If the doctor took an extra minute to get to me. I could have suffered brain damage or died. All because I wanted to have a little extra fun on vacation. I guess I’m the idiot for believing a fucking pharmacy wouldn’t sell laced pills.

I have a wife and 17 month old with another due in June. I’m honestly crying typing this bc I can’t stop imagining how I almost lost my life and the opportunity to spend time with them and to meet my unborn baby. I also can’t imagine what my wife was going through but she was such a fucking champ. I love her so much. These thoughts have truly been haunting me and I almost feel like I cheated death but it’s coming back final destination style. I told my wife last night that I was convinced I wouldn’t wake up.

The thought of how it all went black is also terrifying. I took the pill, went dark, woke up. Nothing in between. I know a lot of this trauma is probably normal.

TLDR: I’m in Mexico on vacation and bought opioids from a pharmacy. The opioids were laced with fentanyl and I almost died.

Update - thank you all for the comments (even the harsher ones).

Many of you pointed out that taking the 2nd pill home to test is a bad idea. I agree. Others have said that I am a POS and my wife deserves better. In the moment, I also somewhat agree. Others are saying I need to reevaluate my drug use. I agree with this as well.

I clearly have a lot of maturing to do and I need to mature now so that I can properly take care of my family.

TIFU by walking into a glass door.

This just happened barely 30 minutes ago. Ended up with a nose bleed and some of the worst nose pain in my life. I can’t even wear glasses without the pressure hurting my nose. So, how did I make the same fuck up a bird would? I put on my sunglasses to leave an appointment and ended up walking nose first into a glass door. Shambling back in shock, I had no damn clue what I had just done. It shocked me so bad that I didn’t comprehend it until I felt liquid drip down my nose. I had turned into the world’s bloodiest leaking faucet. Someone witnessed this in their periphery and asked me if they needed to phone someone. In a panic I basically wailed for them not to, even though I would soon freak out and think I need an ambulance. Someone else came by and ended up giving me paper towels, which quickly looked like I had murdered a mouse with them. My nosebleed soon stopped but not before someone else checked on me. TLDR; fought a glass door and lost. I do not envy the janitorial staff. ...

TIFU by asking my boss why his cock got hard on my leg.

***not a fake post. I’m F 32, He was standing over one of my legs while I was sitting in front of him facing him (spinal adjustment) and he spread my knees with his leg, put his hand on my stomach and then there was a ton of sexual tension and I felt his cock grow into my leg and then start to fill with blood and then twitch on my leg. My boss has been leading me on for two years in subtle ways. Lots of waist pinching, close moments, and “were you good while I was away(s)?” Mostly breadcrumbing himself out to me while his wife (who I also work with) became increasingly hostile towards me. He is someone who has been a mentor to me for ten years. The two of them seem to be having marital problems on and off. The other month, while in close proximity, he started to get hard on my leg and moved when he noticed. A while later, I asked for an open conversation on the attraction between us and what to do about it. It has been distressing me and I had reached my limit. I figured since we’ve...

TIFU by going through my girlfriend’s old photos

My girlfriend and I have been together for 9 months or so and things have been up and down but I love her a lot and she loves me a lot. We’re both 20 and she’s had a lot more experience sexually than I have and this has always bothered me but besides that we have a pretty good relationship. We’ve talked about our pasts and she’s had some pretty bad experiences that caused her to kind of go off the rails up until we met. She’s all in on me and I’m all in on her and she’s expressed a lot of regret about her past choices and I’ve tried to be as understanding as possible but I’ve always had some insecurity regarding it. Well anyways last night I was on her laptop and saw her photos were linked to it and I stupidly clicked on it and started going through them. Don’t need anyone telling me that it was dumb and an invasion of privacy because I really realize that now and I will never be going through any of her stuff again. Anyways I ended up seeing a lot of shit. Clicked on a folder that...
