Yep, yep

You're not going to get clean because,
you want to get off the crazy ride you've been on...
you'll only get and stay clean when you are willing to quit.

I'm sorry, but, you're not there.

I'm reading a lot of agony and anguish already,
in the few, short posts you've left thus far.

It is highly likely, that my senses are correct,
and that you are in a bad way & in a bad place,
in your addiction, and for that, I'm sorry.

I've been there and back,
and I wouldn't wish it on anyone...
not even if I considered them my enemy!

Please keep coming back! Console

Peace, Love & Strength Rose

Lynn,

Thank you for your post, i have to admit i have to hold back the tears reading your words. You may be right but just when will I be ready...my crack addicted just recent ex conned me out of all my savings to "help pay his rent" a couple of times and i wasn't completely blind but then the latest turn of events i discovered I was paying his rent and he was making money and buying crack driving my car while smoking it. All of a sudden it really hit me and my eyes opened wide. All the signs were there all the stories i read never helped until i finally got it. I know that is about him but i am dealing with having to let go as he is still trying to get me to help him. I use cocaine/snort it and i kept telling him that i really thought i needed help and now I know why he always down played it and told me i was ok... a casual user, for fun. I haven't been having fun for a very long time. All his lying to me etc... hurting me and loved ones... and now i realize i'm doing exactly the same thing. I finally asked a friend for help but thats no good because now i feel like she is babysitting me and i am lying to her and hurting her. How in the world do you know when you are ready?

If he has his own place, why in the world,
is he out driving around and smoking the sh-t.

cokehead..."I really think I need help"
crackhead..."Your o.k., it's just for fun"
Darling, what did you expect to hear?...Me too Rolling Eyes

And, whatever you do, for the Love of G0D,
DO NOT NEVER, NEVER, NEVER TRY CRACK...EVER

Lynn ... I'm diggin' the "BUSH SUCKS". I mean, that's entirely accurate. His own damn party doesn't even like him. Come to think of it ... wasn't he booted out of the Texas Air National Guard for testing positive for cocaine after returning from some jackass Yale Alumni gang bang? The gang bang is all speculation of course but, I digress.

I love you! You're hilarious! Not that what you say is a big joke. It's just the snappy delivery. Your words read like a character in a script and not like a letter.

On crack ... I'm in a band out here in CA and my former bass player was a big stimulant enthusiast, and we would do blow together quite a bit. He once asked me if I had ever tried crack and I said no. He essentially said the same thing you did.

He says: "OOOHHHHH! Don't."
I ask: "How come?"
He responds: "Because if you like cocaine, you will FU&*ING LOVE CRACK!"

Not long after that he left the band. He just quit showing up and moved to his dealers place to play with rocks. I've seen the guy one time in the 5 years he's been gone. My brother smokes Meth all the time and I think watching him do that turns me off the crack deal. I'm just not a smoker.

Well, actually....
I don't view "Bush Sucks" as being accurate.....just nice!
Coming from me anyway!

ROFLMFAO....A fan I see.

Yea, there seems to be no middle ground for me.
I'm either loved or hated.
You either love to hate me or hate loving me.
