Is there anyone more honest and outspoken about his life on this Board than Bomz?
I think not.
I can tell you a lot of true stories about friends of mine who went off the deep end using every sort of drug imaginable (mushrooms, MJ, roids, coke, LSD, etc) and interesting shit about alcohol related emergencies and attending AA meetings with some of the top stars in Hollywood-land.
I, myself, come from a very intense, alcoholic family and could drink anything I wanted as soon as I reached the age of 14 while my friends had to sneak beer and wine and other intoxicants (Yep, even bananna peels) outside of their family environment.
That permissive attitude on the part of my parents kind of made it no big deal to get drunk or high while still underage. And as a result of that I never had a drinking problem nor a drug problem. (Except for some major 'trips' with Maui Wowwie!)
BUT ..... I'm usually the only one sober enough who ends up helping friends who have drug and/or alcohol problems.
On a few occasions, I was too late and two of those occasions ended in suicide while three others ended up serving long term prison sentences. And I can't begin to count the number of drinking/smoking friends who are now suffering serious liver and/or lung problems.
Sorry for this long story, but I've been through what many of you guys/gals are just starting to experience and have watched friends pass away or simply wither away in the process ..... and in every case, it was lots of fun at the beginning but it always led to "pain and hell" at the ending.
What you do today, you pay for tomorrow!
Bomz, you are one hell of an honest critter! Have you ever spoken an 'untruth' in your lifetime?
