I feel for you man. I come from a long line of alcoholics/drug addicts. The shit we've lived, you couldn't write. On a lighter note, I like the term " failure to launch funding", although it is a very common scenario I've seen play out on multiple families. My old timer auto body mentor just lost a nephew to suicide due to the exact same thing. Opiates/Suicides took 80% of my friends an family. I'm happy you're here CC!It’s actually the only drug that can do chromosome damage that is heritable. As I’m sure you’re aware it hits the same neural receptors as opiates as well. I agree, I can’t believe it’s legal either. By little bro has Barrett’s esophagus as well now, not to mention the kidney and liver problems starting. My older bro still has relapses, he called me from a bus stop just before Christmas outside OKC loosing his mind on PCP. I mean his stepson just blew his brains out because he and his wife just cut the 27 year old off from failure to launch funding and he was feeling responsible, but still. He does the whole na cycle too, he’s been doing this since we were kids and he’s 52 now.
Man it sucks he couldn't have taken a heroic dose of them boomers and made a few mental adjustments though....My brothers in prison right now for crimes supporting his addiction...saving his life at the moment...he'll parole out n within a week be bk on the street until his PO catches up with him then he'll go bk...n get out n do it again...n again...etc...the only time his mind is right is when he's locked up...
Not to get all AA'ish but the book says that those with mental illness or who are not capable of being honest with themselves "there is little hope"...i think my brother falls into that category...I never let him know where I live bc B n E's are his thing but abt a year ago he was out for a week n in the car with my mom when she swung by for something...I knew then it was comin...bc I work outta town regularly n he knows it...ole lady came home from work one day n bk door was popped...Sour Desiel m Chemical Fire rdy for harvest chopped n gone(I was sick abt that)... tools cash tvs shroom stash odds n ends gone...
It was all replaceable expect the plants
I dont think too many families out there have escaped having an addict of some sort in the family.
Hopefully they'll get it together one day
I bet those stats would outweigh a bunch of other "hot" issues but that wouldn't look too good for the medical mafia system. They just see us as a bunch of drooling customers....... addicted to the idiot box and sold a buncha cures for fake diseases. I try my best to ignore all the madness and enjoy the small beautiful things around me every day. Green vibes your way my friend!Shit I knew that the US has its problems with Hard drugs epidemics, but, realizing how many people in this here thread are or were effected by it in this way or another really gives a clear perspective on the statistics...that shit is straight depressing. Its really something i know nothing about, and hope to never learn. Stay strong out there, grow the flower, love and enjoy life , it is great, for the most part.
