So.

i did have a friend who couldn't even smell opium fucking incense without getting a craving, though. i used to help him shoot up.

How did you help him shoot up? Did you hold the needle or the little rubberband thingy? Shooting up drugs is one thing I'm grateful for never having been witness to.

 

[richard_daily]

Good luck. Don't beat yourself up if you relapse... Just do it day by day.

i tied him off. there was no belt. we used to smoke a lot before he'd shoot up, so we were usually pretty fucked by then. really, it was all because of the way his room was set up. it may it hard for him to hold the string tight while shooting, so i just pulled it tight for him.

then i'd roll another joint and wait for him to rejoin the land of the living enough to make conversation.

you make a noose and pull it with your teeth.

duh!

 

[John Doe]

does this mean you will act like less of a jerk?

I hope not.

 

[killallhippies]

duh!

yeah, he wasn't coordinated enough for that. also, i doubt he knew how to tie a noose. most people don't know how to do that..

One foot in front of the other.

Good luck with this....

Only one piece of advice I'll offer: be totally honest with yourself. The second you start lying to yourself is the second you have lost it.

That sounds like good advice. When one side of your brain say's, "It's only this once." or "No one will know." or "Today was a really bad day and I can always start again tomorrow." make sure that the other side of your brain beats the crap out of that side of your brain and sticks with the program.

We're rooting for you, SeanH. Best of luck.

Congratulations on taking the first step. You of all people are stubborn enough to beat it. Stay strong.

Ahh, I see. I'm reminded of the Angelina Jolie flick 'Gia' where some guy offered to help her character shoot up.

When things got down to the nitty gritty (i.e. ppl in my circle and one very close to me smoking crack, etc), I'd drive looking straight ahead using only my perepheral vision. Cola was my limit and my limit was Cola.

SeanH, yer a dick but best of luck to ya.

That's good to hear.

Keep us posted on your progress.

Good luck to you.

One day at a time my friend. One day at a time.

I wish you the best. It's a courageous step to take, but once you climb out of the downward spiral, it's well worth the struggle.

 

[fluttertongue]

Good luck. Be as strong as you can be. And be kind to yourself.

 

[kotori]

Best of luck.

 

[IndieSnob]

Good luck to you sir.

I know you can get rid of those demons, even though it's going to be a real pisser.

 

[Beco]

As more than a few of you know, for some time now I've had something of a problem with, shall we say, non prescription opiates.

I've decided on the course of action you recommended.

I just wanted to say thank you, you know who you are.

Why do you think they call it dope?

You think it's only 50% that are pill poppers? Seems like more sometimes.

Judging by the flame wars and arguments I get into here, I can solidly prove 50% to any licensed and currently practicing doctor, toxicologist (after a blood test), or psychiatrist.

I'm thinking a good 30% of the rest are just alts of the first 50%.

So many shitty minutes will happen, those sixty second intervals which seem to drag on for an eternity. Revel in them: each one is proof you are doing the right thing. Just remember, that every shitty minute need only be lived once.

This is actually rather poetic in a way... just had to quote it especially after Drown's sage.

Ah Funk beat me for having such posts back-to-back...
