I closed my Myspace blog because Myspace sucks at life now...so I had to move all my blogs here...this one was written for a particular person, thus the ferocity. Glad I got that out of my system.
The word "addict" is such a broad term. It's used to describe so many things. The most common use for the word addict comes to mind regarding substance abuse...It's funny how much the word itself is abused! Sometimes, people will be on their 5th overdose, their 3rd trip to the hospital and their fourth trip to a rehabilitation center, and they still don't see that they are addicted. They say they have control, when really, they don't.
Then there are the others. For some reason or another, they think that addiction is glamorous or honorable. They think that it's something to define whom they are. Rather or not they take their definition to the next level and actually become the helpless, sick addict is another story entirely. Nonetheless, they like the image, they like the way addiction makes them feel...Personally, I believe such illogical opinions can only be caused by one underlying source: A desperate need for attention.
Dabbling in drugs a few times DOES NOT MAKE YOU AN ADDICT! And I would certainly hope that this would reassure and comfort you. Occasional drug use is simply that: Occasional drug use!
I am so fucking sick of people acting like they were once helpless drug addicts until they were awaken by the graces of God and....Lo and Behold; I'm cured!!!!!!!....sometimes, it DOES take the graces of God (or what's otherwise known as the power of your own consciousness) to cure a helpless human. But in the case of experimental drug use, it simply takes GROWING UP and re-prioritizing. No miracle was performed, just the simple brain mechanisms that evolve, thus causing mental maturity. The need to be high is an adolescent outlook. One of adventure, escapism, euphoria, whatever it is you're looking for. And IT IS tempting and alluring, even when you're trying to quit....THAT'S WHY IT'S CALLED A DRUG!!! But just because you've craved an illegal substance a few times and decided to say NO to your id, doesn't mean that you're having some amazing fucking breakthrough, that you just went through such HARD times and came out a winner....Fuck that! You simply said NO to a craving, just like when you turn down a hamburger when you're watching your diet!
I have lost a good friend and a step-brother to full-blown addiction. Both of these people were hurting. They were living in their own private, permanent hell, and medicating the pain with powerful street drugs....and it was working just fine...until they ODed. They both knew that this would be their demise. They were intelligent, quiet, intellectual, intriguing people...with too much helpless pain to prevail....That's an addict!
Drug abuse is obviously NOT a good thing, and if you beg to differ, come work in the ER for a night and see what a little overdose can really do! Real life shines a different light on the fairy tales! I didn't even need to get this job to know how fucking shitty drugs are...I've witnessed it in my own life. However, I would never judge an occasional drug user...if you aren't putting others in danger, I don't give a fuck. But if you plan on prancing around a few days later, telling a sob story to anyone who will listen about your triumphant return to sobriety, then perhaps you should check yourself in...not to rehab, but into psychiatric evaluation...fucking crybabies!
Next time all you wannabe addicts are looking for attention, try to fucking EARN it!
