My wife and I were hard core crack addicts for almost three years. We walked away from it without benefit of any mental health services whatsoever. We did have a young daughter depending on us, and we had reached rock bottom for the second time. When I say rock bottom I mean it.. digging edible roots to feed our daughter while dealers looked for Papa to take ...

But they will, and you will. Just hold on, just hold on. Hang tight and tough, it'll get better. The only sure way to lose is to give up. You really have no idea of the strength within you, or what you can overcome if you just make the decision to do it.

I hate people too, but there's not a person I hate. You're not a coward for not killing yourself, it's just wisdom. It's more cowardly to off yourself than not.

Might as well suffer through it until livi...
