Just reading an extract from a new amy winehouse book (tyler - a '"friend" of amys since she was 12). Says she hadnt touched crack or the old tutsarut in 3 years but was binging on alcohol maybe once every 3 weeks, her dad had an "intervention" for her and tyler said "im not watching you kill yourself with alcohol" to which amy replied "well fuck off then".
Reminded me of some of my "difficult" behaviour when i was running on speed. Lost a friend with my behaviour - still bitterly regret it, but what the fuck - " it is only through its imperfections that you recognise it is a real diamond"

). If I was an adult and took MDMA I would have developed a different "relationship" with MDMA, I believe. But being a kid who felt ok with himself and the world around him I thought I have found a panacea. It lead me down the very dark road, which could have been avoided if MDMA type therapy was legal then. It still isn't legal now but it will be soon. If someone back then told me "how dangerous MDMA/amps can be if severely abused and that I need to stop (ab)using them, my response would be: "Fuck off!". It would be a wrong answer but I have even given it to few people. Very understandable.
