Nevermind the naysayers--do it! Heroin is awesome!!!!!!! LMAO!!!!!!!!

Seriously though, there's no downside; everyone wins!

Nice, Newberry. Real nice. I'm sure everyone will take comfort in your delicious irony and not see you for the asshole you are working hard at being.

Second that one. Where does it end Boom? You may always want to get high, but you can overcome the desire.

All the good things that you are doing with your life are undermined by junk. It's too fucking dangerous to mess with. Find somebody else in your shoes that you can talk to, I'm not anti-drug in all cases and with all people by any means but addiction is such a prison, you're free right now, don't go back to that place.

Send a PM if you need to talk to someone.

Boombaticus, you mother fucker. I can not believe that you are going to force me to come to your home, drag you outside and kick your motherfucking ass in front of all of your neighbors....


..again.

Remember how you cried when they were calling you a girlie-boy because little white girl beat you down??

Okay, well perhaps you have blocked that incident out of your memory because of the "trauma" it caused you, but I want you to remember that I know where you live, and believe me, if you are all strung out, I WILL take you down, J.

Boom, you know I'm only saying this because I love ya. I know where you came from, so I understand why your mom moved your ass across the country as well as you do. You would be dead by now if you would have stayed there, agreed?

There is a reason that your life has unfolded the way that it has instead of the inevitable blood-stained fucking scummy sidewalk of Pomona. It is a gift, my friend. Consider it your one "get out of ghetto alive" card, Boom. Tis very easy to go down, but you know how difficult the climb back up was. Remind yourself of that fucking climb out of the Seventh Circle...it's all the motivation you need, J.

I will let you in on a little know cheat.. call it a "distraction" from your wandering thoughts and cravings. I swear by it myself, gets you through the never-ending deluge of hazards that one's mind can conjure...


OTTER*POPS.



The frozen novelty sugar nectar squeezed from the tit of a Goddess and packaged in convenient plastic portable pouches, for the "On-The-Go" lifestyle that you may find yourself living, Boom.

I am known to have one dangling from my mouth from time to time as I navigate through traffic.

Salut, OTTER*POP! I will never grow old of your goodness.

Suck on the tit nectar, Boom. Guaranteed.. no collapsed veins.

Do it.

Boombats, why would you post a thread like this on the EA forums, seriously?
I don't think this is really the best place to discuss matters like this.

From what you said, I am assuming you've had some experience with opiates and have struggled with an addiction problem. I think you know very well what kind of advice we're all going to give you... do whatever you have to to keep from using dope again.

Think about all the people you know whose lives have been ruined by that crap. Think about how bad your life can possibly be, and then feel certain that if you continue to use it will most likely get much, much worse.

If you're really having cravings to use, you'd better get into some kind of treatment, or else start talking to somebody close to you who has experience with a significant heroin problem, has dealt with relapse more than once, and has been clean for at least several years. If you don't have any friends like that, then visit your local methadone clinic (they usually have counseling services available, even for people who aren't currently on "the stuff") or go to an NA meeting or some damn thing. Even if you don't buy into all the NA bullshit (I certainly don't), there are people there with valuable experience who can most likely help you, if even just by being there, hearing your concerns and giving their attention and advice.

Whatever you do, brother, don't start taking heroin again.

When I was younger, I have had to tell several of my friends that I will personally kick their asses if I ever catch them fucking around with this shit.

My older sister has been battling heroin for half of her life. I haven't seen her in nearly two years, and while she was doing better the last time I saw her, I still dread getting that phone call. I miss her, almost as much as her three sons do.

Drink until you puke. Take massive bong hits before breakfast. Pop two or three vicodin. I really don't give a shit. Hell, you can snort a line of coke, and two out of three times I'll look the other way. It's not like I'm straight edge or anything. But seriously, if I catch any of my friends doing this crap, they're going to be in a lot of trouble with me.

JESUS! You folks should just buy a van, paint it like the A-Team, and drive up on motherfuckers that need an intervention beatdown!

I never said I was going to use. I clearly stated that I am not nor have not been an addict. I just wanted to talk about it with people who understand, because talking's better than doing the shit. Anyone who's really been down the road must understand that. I appreciate the concern, but everyone can calm down. Newberry can go fuck himself, everyone else have a beer on me and chillax.

ColPan, I know you mean well but from your statements it's clear you don't understand the situation. Please, NEVER tell someone they shouldn't talk about their feelings, even on a forum like this. You ask why I would post such a thread here? Because the underground rock scene knows a thing or two about junk, that's why. I know somebody can back me up on this.

Again- thanks all, but take a deep breath and repeat: "Boombats is gonna be O.K."

I must say I'm glad I got Nina out of the woodwork though.

An old bass player, and a damn good friend of mine, had your issue. I figured it out pretty quick, and only lost the bass distortion pedal I pretty much bought for him anyway. All of our other friends lost all kinds of stuff. I told him I knew he knew he was being an asshole. Then I stopped talking to him.

He went through the typical crap...pistolwhipped in the projects really bad, set some sort of record at the clinic for a $200.00 shot he did before he walked in...god knows what else. I don't know.

Now, he has a gorgeous wife, a good-looking, smart kid, and manages some restaurant operation. He's doing great. And he is the guy I knew before the bullshit started. It took a few years, granted...

I have another friend who drank like you wouldn't believe. Every weekend, he would drink for 3 days straight. He'd hallucinate, and I would inevitably end up watching him thrash around on the floor, sweating, for a good day. Completely fucked. He did it for, like, 25 years, or more, for chrissakes.

His parents' health started failing. He came to some sort of realization...finished college, payed rent, started producing films and writing again, etc. He pulled it together...and he's over 40.

Apologies for my retarded joke. I meant it as an absurd, brief comical diversion from a heavy topic. My intention was not to insult anyone or belittle the situation.

boombats, you never clearly stated anything. your first post very much insinuates that you're an ex junkie. when you say something like "I'm still clean", that sounds like you kicked a while ago, maybe even recently, but you haven't started using again.

and yeah, Col Panic's post is hilarious. how he of all people could suggest not talking about something here... with the world record for inane posts in the shortest time... I got a super laugh outta that one.

talking about something serious? that somebody out there might benefit from reading? EGAD!!!

I know people who destroyed their lives with heroin but survived, people who didn't survive, people that stole and stole and stole to pay for habits that they may or may not still have (i cut people off *real* easy-like when it's not my place to tell them to fucking straighten up) and just a couple people who cleaned up and are doing great for themselves. so if you're looking for about an 80 to 90% success rate at either killing yourself or just destroying your life, hey, heroin, there ya go.
