All my good stories are 30 years old and probably can be found in my prior entries. BBT, come at us if you've got sumpthin.
BL ... is such a trigger for me as well ... I got on the juice. Immediately I got my shit right again within 2-3 months. My health, strength, weight, mind clear. ... I gradually pulled myself away from all this shit.. I got a job, No legal issues -- all cleared up. Not on paper. Getting my license back in mere weeks... Methadone saved my fucking ass... I'm happier than I was during when I was running hard for sure.
just think about it real good before you go down that route man
I dont really have an opinion on homosexuality, not for or against it. I just dont want you to exacerbate an already dark period in your life by finding out that you aren't even remotely bi-curious halfway through your experiment and who knows what that would lead to
but if its something you feel comfortable with, who am I to say its right or wrong. Ive always felt that people who use illegal drugs really cant have an agenda on anything relating to morality because that would be hypocritical.
everyone should just do whatever they want, so long as it excludes murder, rape, violence, thievery, you know all the usual frowned upon stuff

You say that people who use illegal drugs can't take moral positions (why that is doesn't make sense to me, but whatever...), but then you take a moral position in that last sentence.
theres been no good dope discussion on here in a bit.
anyone got any good stories? I've got shit myself.
This website really amazes me when it becomes more than a website. And I know most of the users on BL dont care about open air drug markets, but I have a lot of respect for the few good people you can meet throughout your time getting high.
Id like to think im a good person. If a homeless guy asks me for change, and I have some to spare, I give it to him. If someone asks to buy a cig off me and I have enough left, I just give em one. If I see an old black guy hobbling his way toward the subway with a look of desperation on his face, I stick my ass in the doorway and give him those extra 5 seconds to get in. And ill probably never see these people again, but I just try and act how I was raised regardless of the set or setting im in. I dont see junkies as junkies, I see them as people. Obviously, a lot of them are shysters who will turn on you in a second but that's why you never let them know that you have anything of value for them to try and take from you. But when you meet those few good people caught up in the same lifestyle you are in, there's a weird camaraderie that exists amongst users. Junkies are actually some of the most generous and kind hearted people you will ever meet, so long as they have their fix. But at the end of the day, there's just too many shysters to outweigh the good people so most of us walk this path alone, save for the occasional small talk while waiting for a fix or something. I dont know how long im going to go down this path or how what I could have done with my life by now if I never got started, but at least I can say I walked it as a decent human being.
That was refreshing to read. This is exactly how I feel. But I really have yet to meet another user who has that kind of moral integrity... Not that I don't understand where they're coming from; I know how it feels to be so desperate. So I try not to judge where people are at. Still, since entering the world of IV heroin use 8 years ago, there are lines that I haven't crossed simply because I have maintained my sense of empathy for others. There are worse things than being dopesick, even if it may not feel like it at the time.
