DOC D, Thanks for what seems to me to be an intelligent response. I say 'seems' because I am uneducated when it comes to drugs of any sort, ..... but I have to admit that I have been associated with many drug users under many adverse conditions.
I mean conditions associated with death, suicide, murder, incarnation, and asylum commitments. And even hi-jacking a tank and seeing how fast it would go within a civilian environment such as the main street through a small town.
I have often claimed to have seen it all, but as the years go by, I tend to realize that the worst is yet to come.
Some occurences have been down-right funny such as the lady who threatened to commit suicide by jumping from her balcony onto the manicured lawn no more than 6 inches below her toes.
A 6 minute drive with someone holding her down to an over-night in somf psycho ward and an early morning stomach pump solved that problem temporarily ...
But others have been not so funny and very serious ... such as the night a good friend OD'd and dropped to the street appearing dead as a door-knob.
And he would have continued to look that way ... but another drugged out compatriot took a running leap and kicked him in the chest muttering something like, "Get up! You lazy bastard!".
And that crazy kick by his crazed-out buddy saved his life according to the medics.
Could tell you more about those crazy drug days but what I really meant to tell you is that ABSOLUTE FEAR is a great cure-all that has yet to be studied within the medical community.
And to be literally SCARED SHITLESS drug free just might be the cure-all of all cure-alls in the not too distant future.
But it's definitely USELESS as a recreational drug!
Ask me. I know! But when it comes to drugs, I'm dumb as shit.
Been there! Done that! And in each and ever episode I was as sober and drug free as the provervial judge. And I ain't intending to be going back to the way things used to be.
Hell, I even turn off my phone when the sun goes down and never respond to a knock on the door when the sun ain't shining on it.
But I do have a shit-load of stories to tell even though I've never been a druggie.
I do wish the best to you guys doing your best for a successful recovery.
And I'll simply end by saying this .... All the people I've known in my lifetime who were heavily into a drugged up lifestyle are dead except for two who walk around like zombies.. And only one other appears o be well on the road to recovery after a few years locked up,
And that sole individual is the only one who called before sunset to say, "Thanks for your help, but never trust me again because even though they say I'm cured, I'll always be a junkie."
Good luck breaking free!
