Well, if your friends have never met an addict, I'd imagine they wouldn't know the slightest bit what it feels like. Even if it's a big deal to you, they might not know what it feels like. To them, it'll be just another cool epiks mime thing to joke about. I'd suggest not dealing with them much until they forget about it in a couple months, but I'm lacking perspective to give any real advice. More around my area of interest is this: I know you need to gush, but I still wouldn't recommend posting about this stuff online. Just from the links you've posted, I already know your last name and hometown, and could probably keep digging to find even more dox. That's usually never good. Parts of the web thrive off this sort of stuff, and it's the last thing you need right now. But that's me being paranoid and crap. my point is: I'm sorry. At the very least, you're probably turning out better than your parents already.
