Big Long Now- from junkyard to landfill (my war)
Okay so I highly doubt anyone views this blog independently, regularly, or really at all. Maybe a couple of stray clicks out of curiousity but probably nothing too intense.
I made my last post around the end of my 2018 rehab tour, which was filled with misery, suicidal thoughts, severe pain, changes, fleeting euphoria, acceptance, survival, homelessness, violence, injury and huge changes to the way I think.
It all started in late march 2018. I had grown tired of waking up each morning to schlep all the way to the methadone clinic and not be able to urinate due to stress, have to meet with a therapist, or just out of plain sickness of life. My weight had dropped from a healthy 220 to 140 in a little less than a year. This started, along with so many changes in my thinking and inhibition, when I was hit over the head with a drinking glass on July 7 2017 by a friend. an insane, flipped out, drugged out friend. And I was in the same condition.
Long story short, the head injury was located around the area of the left frontal lobe. As soon as I got home on the train I rushed home, took all the opioids I had and scrounged the floor for spice with a vengence. This is how the next.. long time would look. Combined with the feeling of my favorite stimulant, dexmethylphenidate starting to shit the bed after 3 solid years of service.
I spent alot of 2017 and early 2018 just drugged out of my mind on speed, coke, weed ,spice,adderall,benzos,opiates,ritalin.. Just everything, And my selfishness came to a head in early April 2018 when I got in a fight over my parents after they ruined an LSD+coke high and made me extremely agitated. Well this isnt due to selfishness per se just the addictive void my selfishness led me to. I wasn’t trying to bother anyone, just to enjoy some chemicals without the bruhaha of being yelled at, insulted and intruded upon by my father.
In a nutshell, I slashed my stomach with a rusty machete, threw a buddha statue through a window, ran off into a creek and started to build myself a hut with reeds and leaves.
Yeah. Thats how 5 years of addiction end. Psychwarded for a month against my will. My memory of that place wasn’t that bad, as I was still being given the 90mg of methadone daily, along with some other comfort meds. I did have a lot of interesting conversations there and overall it wasn;t that bad.
The next place, and the dozens following that, for the most part, have been some of the worst months I’ve had in my entire life. Next time I will share with you the entirety of the 2018 fiasco and my return to grace but with a new found bitterness.
Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy the blog
