I tried the magic methamphetamine 2 months before this entry - not long after I turned 15
it seemed so new and cool even tho I'd used it evry day since I tried it!
i pulled the wool over Mum's eyes till oneday she walked in on me shooting up
Dad was a stoner and a tripper, but many of his mates went further
I was scared of Dad - the guy beat me daily - but P mattered more
looking back I was an addict from day 1
26/7/99 (AGE 15) - AN ADDICT DOESNT FOOL AN EX-DRUGGIE
Still feeling good - Valium-induced good but what the hell! I seem to swing a bit these days - I'm either very stoned and sleepy and mellow (well-enhanced by the crash) or I'm up in the land of crystal meth where I'm actually happy for the first time in my life. Right now I'm just tweaking a bit but this batch is disappointingly short-acting. I had a boring day - I wish Jay was still in Mt Roskill, then I wouldn't have to spend all my time smoking alone! When I got home after a visit to Joe's when he got home from karate, I rang Laura, Christiana, Alisha and the Shack.
Laura seems cool except she's worried because her Tae Kwon Do instructor knows now that she has a crush on him (ahhh GHB). Christi was watching the soccer and Alisha was coming down from the meth she buys in point bags at Papakura tinniehouses. Dodgy yellowy powder. Makes me shudder. So those were short convos.
As for the people at the Stoner Shack - Adrienne's had an asthma attack and Rasty's got the flu so I just chatted to Herbs and Jayson. Then Dad took me out to dinner at a Thai restaurant with his new girlfriend and her son.
I picked at my food and he said snidely something about how I never seemed to eat anymore then he asked 'which drug it was' on the way to drop me home.
I said 'WHAAAAT!?'
How do you fool him though? He was a drug user!
NB - FIRSTLY THESE NAMES COULD BE ALIASES
Jayson (Jay) - a friend I had a major crush on
Mt Roskill - a suburb near where I live, and of course, a mountain in the middle of it
Joe - a mate born into the gang I used to cook for
Laura - probably my oldest friend who's still a friend, even though now she's clean
Christiana - my girlfriend at the time
Alisha - my ex, though we were friends for years before having a relationship
Stoner Shack ('the Shack') - basically where Rasty's whanau lived out west Auckland and theyd take in any stoner who wanted to doss down and live off the dole there (whanau is Maori for family)
Papakura - the southernmost suburb of Auckland, where I lived for about a year once
tinniehouse - where anyone can go to buy foil packages (20$ 'bullets' called tinnies) of weed; run by gangs usually, and heard of by word of mouth (some sell points of meth too but its never good stuff)
Adrienne - my first 'best friend' at intermediate school, who got into drugs with me; now totally clean, going to NA after a 5yr jail sentence (shortened majorly) and working on a sheep station in the wops
Rasty - real name need not b mentioned; Adriennes ex-husband who told me he was Jamaican when I first met him (he is clearly Maori) and loves weed but hates other drugs (trouble is he smoked weed from age 6 onwards)
Herbs - another ex of mine and once Rasty's best friend, now another victim of P and a violent paranoid guy
