Whatever you do, don't ever start.


And having worked at a few fast food places in my teenage days, the only fast food that's worth a damn anyways is Taco Bell.

Yeah Taco Bell is certainly the best Serge.

And I'm not planning to use coke. One kid I know who was gonna come to Penn State got busted a week before orientation, and now his entire college education is ruined. Smart move. :undecide:

You have no idea what that shit can do to you long-term, even 18 years after you've stopped. I certainly didn't know back then, because if I did, I would have said "no thanks" the first time it was offered.

Thanks, man.


Much appreciated for your kind words.

It will actually be 18 years in july.


July 17, 1987, was the day I decided to quit. had too many things going on in my life back then that were fuvking me up (Athletic career de-railed by numerous injuries, pressure to maintain high grades, girls, peer pressure) and I took the chicken-shit way out and delved into narcotics extremely heavily. It took a dear friend of mine to help me get out of the 4 year stranglehold it hand on me, but she kept me locked up in her room for 2 months that summer while I cleaned myself up.


Brenda, thank you. Wherever you are.

I still have no idea how I survived, and that my parents didn't (and still don't) know. The only one in my family who knows now is my sister.

Coke probably saved my life. Sure I wouldnt recommend it and dont start just for fun. But it was a great escape, infact the best escape ever. I kicked it together with a friend. The comedown was hard but I never had a problem stopping, i know my limits and have control.

Everyone say that...but supposed control is always kind of tricky. BTW, i know a superb Clinic in London that can help you out with this.....

i dont need help. Im clean for a few years And I never would have needed help. Anyone who becomes an addict is weak I think. Its not THAT hard to recognise your are becoming dependant and make some changes. IMO.

Thats good to hear Sergio and I'm glad you were able to stop. Its too bad not enough kids can hear your words, as some desparetly need them. I know of people who don't care to stop because they think they can't live without it. It sad really.

I think if some other kids were in the same position as me, they wouldn't be able to to resist it. Thats not very reassuring though. :down:

 

[Eaglesnake_1]

Sometimes it depends on the personality and character of the user. I know some people that will not quit until dying...but im shure you probably knows what youre doing...

Well, to each their own, I guess.

Why were you using? Experimenting? Escape? If someone cant deal with what they have without then i could understand why they couldnt kick it. But if someone really hates using and wants to stop and cant. I think thats a weakness in that person.

I mentioned the reasons why in my previous post. What got me started was I was 13 years old, and had just moved to a new city with no friends, and I ended up getting caught up in the wrong crowd, and the drugs, in turn, played a part in the injuries that I suffered in sports, and that depressed me, so I, in turn, turned to more drugs, which led to other problems, which, again, just created a vicious cycle for me. It took me going to a party in one town here in Rhode Island on a Friday night, and waking up in a neighboring state (Connecticut) on a Sunday afternoon in the bed of a girl I didn't even know, and not remembering how I got there and what happened during those 2 1/2 days, that made me decide to quit.

About 2 years later, I decided to volunteer some time at a rehab center to talk to some kids and just basically listen to them. I didn't realize until that moment how lucky I had it. To look in their faces and have them tell me stories that mirrored mine on how they got started, and how they pissed all their money away and would have to steal things like jewelry and car radios to pay for their habit, or do things that were even worse in some cases, well, it gives me a little different perspective than some people, because I can see it through their eyes, and what addicition can do to you.

And I'm still paying for my sins to this day, and will do so for the rest of my life. Nerve damage that causes my hands to tremble very slightly, to the point where I can't even notice it, but other people do. An immune system that is virtually non-existent any longer, headaches that can last for 4 days, so on and so forth.

I'm a little more leninet than most people when it comes to drug addiction, because if you can control it and truly stop whenever you want, then you were never an addict to begin with.

I wish I could tell you how good it was

I knew this guy in Lithuania, and he smoked some crack, just one time, and like his pen*s fell off. Man, it was cool.

That's true, but most people figure that you did take the decision to start with drugs, which you did, and thus chose for the consequences as well. And with most drugs you don't really have the choice to just stop, now do you? It phyiscally hurts to stop. I do agree that if you started with drugs knowing what the possible consequences were you chose for those consequences as well.

Question remains if you really do know what the consequences might be if you start taking drugs at a young age. IMO the main problem is this, and I'm taking myself as an example: with a normal product, say chocolat, I would never let myself become addicted. Though if I like chocolat I would eat it a lot. Still I could quit whenever I want, because I wouldn't let myself reach that point of addiction. But if you do drugs a lot because you obviously like them, you can't really control yourself and you can't stop yourself of reaching that point of addiction.

It depends IMO. If it physically hurts to stop you really do have to show a lot of character.

The way they prepare the food may be the better than the rest, but their meat is one of the worst. Supposedly, it's grade D meat... which means their semi-food is more to the "semi" than to the "food."
