My health, my brain, and being high.
mobrien_12:
Your story reminded me of a passage I read in a brain book (Change your brain, change your life, by Amen). I thought it was pretty interesting when I read it.
This guy was abusing amphetamines, badly. He had ADD, and was using them to fight it, but was taking way too many of them. The doctor (who wrote this book), took a SPECT scan of his brain, then showed him that his brain literally had holes of activity eaten in it due to the drug abuse. The doctor said "Look at the brain damage you've caused! From now on, let me handle your drugs for you. I know better than you how to handle them."

wow, that's a fucked up story...only illegal drug I've done was marijuana.
Orethrius:
X, what else can I say? The fact that you acknowledge the problem is the first step to recovery. As far as I can tell, you're perfectly lucid about what can happen, so I don't think you'll wind up in the loony bin any time soon (though I hear from a fellah that got himself sent to Bellevue for a week away from the Navy that the service is quite excellent - bowling, pudding, a hot bath and decent reading materielle every day ;)). Good to know there are others who can cope with worse problems than money for a change.
Kintaro:
Its ironic that the most harmless, and legal substance I do is the first one that nearly kills me.

My new hitline:
(20:01:17) The topic for #melbourne is: JUST LAY DOWN WITH ME, NAKED FOR YOU TO SEE; ITS JUST ONE KISS UNTIL ALL IS RIVEN
(20:01:32) KintaroX: Hey, any pretty girls from Melbourne wanna hot guy?
(20:01:43) KintaroX: I have an infection in my testicles!
