A person loses purity, identity and becomes a person which he is not. Controlled drug intake? it doesnt matter. Even a Micro gram of these drugs like cocaine disables a person’s ability to do even the basic of things. That includes personal hygiene too!
Religion is the biggest enemy? Yes there are cults, so what the heck? The fact that people make religion a source of enemy is a sign that evil is taking over the world. I might have to agree with hard headed religious people on this one.

Just say no… to money? Perhaps that should be the new anti-drug slogan. A new report showed that “90 percent of paper money circulating in U.S. cities contains traces of cocaine.” When I first heard this, I thought, “no way!” Of course, now that I think about it, it makes complete sense.

First of all, today very little is done with cash. Drug deals, last I heard, still used cash. So it makes sense that there would be a higher count of cocaine than other germs on money. But lest you think cocaine is the only thing found on bills, think again. The average bill has many different types of debris on it, including dirt, food, or germs.
Incidentally, the average bill stays in circulation for 20 months. The most bills with cocaine on them included the $5, $10, $20, … Continue reading →

My dad used to be a violent alcoholic; I’m talking emotional and verbal abuse, breaking things, being VERY angry and frightening. He went to rehab more than once. He also was a cocaine addict. He finally became clean and sober when I was 12. I am now almost 25. My parents finally divorced a few years ago and my dad remarried. As far as I knew, he had not had a sip for 13 years. Well, his birthday party was yesterday in the early afternoon. He drank STIFF screwdrivers all day and he got absolutely trashed. He was “life of the party” drunk, telling stories, being ridiculous. He slurred his words and often misspoke (he called his mother his grandmother and he called her my great-grandmother and was like “Wait!! Wait… that’s not right! She’s…yeah she’s my grandmother.”) It was the elephant in the room for those of us who knew about his past, but many people (including his new wife) have NO idea. Should I be worried about this? Is he spiraling back into this addiction? Or do recovered alcoholics have the ability to drink again without relapsing?

I caught her after she forgot that she invited me over the other day… Her parents let me in the house, I knocked on her door but the music was way up, so I walked in slowly on her…

She didn’t notice that I saw her… she was to busy. As soon as I realized what she was doing I just turned around and left immediately!

But what can I do, who in the Hell has a crack-cocaine addiction these days anyways? And masturbating to the Tele-tubbies!?

Should I be worried about her?

I don’t want to rat to her parents, but crack kills… and so do the Tele-tubbies.
And why in the Hell didn’t she lock her door while she was doing that?

Maybe she actually wanted me to find her like that… I’ve never thought about that, creepy
