PEACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OE OF MY FAVORIT REALLY SICK HORROR BOOKS IS
THE DAMNATION GAME by clive barker.
Thomas you've got to write the book. I can name on my left hand
how many books I have read. "magic rabbit and socks in the dryer"
I'am still laughing. We need a funny opiate book to read. Word of
mouth works wonders and I am sure there would be third, forth and
fifth printings and editorials like "I found myself laughing out
loud". The mistrials of opiate abuse. It would be perfect for you
as you are one of the funniest people I've ever met. Not really
even met but the privilege of just knowing you and hopefully your
friend.

Alls I can say is wow. what a thread. I made it through Christmas, got on the board and was amazed at all the responses to your choice to go on meth maintenance. I am coming off of a two year run of oxys, 400mgs, 12 perc 10s and zanax. Got Diagnosd with HCV in 2000 and during the six months of a very hellis 6 month of treatment, my doc gave me anything I wanted. Good news, I am cured, yet kept the opiate habit going for another 18 months. I to have used since I was 13,pcp acid, angel dust, crystal meth, heroin, got on meth maintenace for a year, smoking crack and shooting coke. 6 treatment facilities, kept using, but then found NA. Stayed clean for 7 years, married a recovering addict, have two great kids. I own my own company and work with the major hotels in vegas. Have a life I always would think about when I was high. Yet, once I got it, it was not enough.
Year 7 I was cured, so stopped meetings and NA altogether. Started drinking, then got into gambling, carousing and acting like I was single. I chalk it up to a mid life crisis. I have got a great lady who put up with alot of ****, but stuck with me.
Now to the point, being high on a legal or illegal substances has been a way of life for me 30 years. Like there are parts of my brain and especially my emotions that have become abnormal. I sit in meetings with educated dweebs, who I used to kick their ass in high scool if they looked at me wrong and negotiate contracts, create schedules and all that goes along with new construction or renovation. I listen more than I talk, before I make a comment I have to really take a second to reply. My brain has also been changed that if I do not focus with all my willpower, I will answer with weird response. It has happened, more times than I can remember, but like every dope fiend I am quick on my feet and the comeback.
I relate and understand where your coming from, I have been playing the pill chasing game for the last year, I am so sick of it. I will close with this, I have detoxed off of many pain pills, however, this time has been almost as bad as when I went cold turkey in 88 from methadone. I have gone back to NA, because it has been the only thing to work for me. In my absece in the last 5 years alot of people have died that I knew.
But their are many who are staying clean one day at a time. This world is insane in the first place, whoever can get through a day without hurting themselves, abusing drugs or hurting some one else, God Bless them.
Oh, I am increasing the L ty and b6, I found out I was only taking 500 mgd a day. I let you know the result. Thanks for answering my post, and please relize I have no pity for you, only respect and empathy for your own path of life. Keep the faith and keep posting.
Strength and Honor
Greg
OKAY...... WHO'S GOT THE BIG MOUTH........??
