you hit the nail on the head partner. we will prolly stay unknown. most people look at the addict as a weak low life junkie. to them i say....well excuuuuuuuuuuuse the f--k outta me!! let me look deep in YOUR closet and see whats lurking around.



  however, us junkies dont have time for the un-educated. and as far as bein weak, well, we're about the tuffest bunch a people around. a weak person wouldnt even attempt kickin heavy drugs. like my o'l man used ta tell me: "son, anybody can quit smokin--but it takes a real man, to face cancer" note: what that has to do with anything, i have no idea, but it sounded good.

   by the way, he keeled over from lung cancer



  ok--back to work folks--y'all stay tuff

Okee dokee as long as I have you guys....

but really what is "la reine"??? That one is new to me and has me quite puzzled......

How's today for you??

Finished really had a good post about the reality board games and the clueless world.....

I was once told by someone that the USA is the sickest(illness/ailments) in the world and we have our government and big time drug companies to thank. We treat symtoms and not illness. I think that person may have a good point. I would love to know the addiction rate in the US vs the rest of the world....just a thought for today...

To, keep the posts flowing, we need you...

Thanks, like I'm not obsessed with this computer enough....now I have homework on it....ok, I accept your challenge. I will find out what it means.....

Tom, you are tooooo funnnny......

Duh!!

I didn't even have to look anything up, I'm sooo smart.....

Being an addict, I learned how to dissect words and see if they would be a "good" drug or not...so, hence, I thought of the word "la reine" and la means the and reine is simular to reign which means rule which means queen....

Wow, I really do have a brain, does that mean I actually benefited from being an addict because of it I can now dissect a word and figure out its meaning??? (huge joke, cuz I can't really spell for ****!!!)

Just told my wife that the help each addict wants to give the other is pure love.

  Speaking of LOVE . I'll bet most have been there9 at least for a weekend. Did you ever notice he or she was the first thing you thought of in the morning.

  Are drugs now the first thing you think of? I'm guilty so I either love the drugs or my head feelings more than anything in the world. Are you as sick of the lying and coniving as me?

  We have made them our idols folks, let's face it. I heard somewhere,"put no idols before Me." I'm forgiven are you?

your post was great, i love the way you worked the board game

into it,the addicts board game lived out here at med help

everyday.

there is a larger percentage of people who just are sheep

and do what the shepard tells them to do, but addicts have this rebellion in them,

we just have to do what we do.



peace !!!!! keep america beautiful STAY CLEAN

Hey everyone just wanted to say thanks for all your great insight and support.  I stumbled onto this sight in my elusive search for internet drugs.  I am not clean yet but reading your posts and comments and experiences gives me the desire to be.  Just need the willpower and strength from inside.  I have been reading all the post information for about a week and thought it would be rude to post because I am still using but realized what a great source everyone here is and wanted to tell everyone way to go on taking the first step towards a new life. Take care

I've said this to all of you before and Im going to say it again, you all mean the world to me. Im getting better but know that im going to go through terrible withdrawl this weekend. :( I will need your support (to be honest) you all inspire me so much and put smiles on my face everyday. You all mean just sooooooooooooooooooooooo much.... I hope you all know that. Im a very expressive person and have really needed you all and not one of you have let me down. Do you have any idea how much that means to me? WELL ALOT  :)   You are all in my prayers and thoughts all day every day.

Love you all ((((((((((((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))) Erika

Erika...hang in there hun.. I will be here all weekend too, my new addiction remember...guess what I did to get my man more involved with what I am going thru, I shared some of these postings with him and I really think he has a better understanding that I am going thru something and its not all in my head, maybe your's might get somewhat of an idea the same way....worth a shot maybe.

Anyway, I'm thinking of you and just wanted to let you know I am here too.

I was up pretty much ALL night last night with this poopy pain in the ankle. Rods & bones just don't mix when the rods are left out of the skin to snag on anything & everything. I think I'll go to Pep Boys & buy some curb feelers so I'll stop whacking them on things.



My fiance stayed up with me all night & we played games. We were playing "Life." About halfway into my $100,000.00 a year career as an entertainer, I noticed something. I bought a big house. Had 2 pink, plastic baby girls & got a $10,000.00 speeding ticket. Where is the space on the board that says, "You've become addicted to pain medication? Pay $75,000.00 & lose a lot of you turns at Life." Is "true life" blind to the all too common problem that we all here suffer from? Is a "normal life" without addiction & the problems we face associated with this? Is it possible that we are a super small minority of the populace & our problems are not reconized as that...problems, disease, pain & suffering? I also had a tornadoe hit my house while uninsured...DAMN! Can the majority of the world out there be completely unaware that we exist, addicted to the medications that their trusting doctors prescribed...sometimes too generously? The game of "Life" is more than a game to most...but how much more? It became obvious to me that the disease known as addiction
