I dont know anyone but have a gang of family who are 'livin the life' which is why I dont smoke nothing and drink every now and again.

Almost everybody I know is on meth or coke or pills or crack. It's fucking stupid. I have my studio people who are clean and really set up with their situations, but damn near everyone else is on some shit and wasting away. It's fucking stupid. Every damn friend I've ever had growing up is addicted to something. I have like 3 addicted to Oxys I have one that smoked himself retarded and quite a few who are Meth Montsters.

After a while, you lose sympathy. I still love those people, but I can't hang with them... they don't wanna do what I wanna do and I can't do what they do... it's fucked up.

Going through the same exact shit w/ my x bf. Fuck that Oxy Contin man, I wish I could kill the motherfucker(s) who put that shit out on tha market.

Reading everyone's stories up on this thread is crazy, damn near everyone of them I can relate to. What's this world coming to? Maybe an end?

I agree! I've been out of HS since '93 and back than I used to have a friend who I believed had polio and walked with 2 forearm crutches...I saw him a few years back ago near the 3com park, I was on my way to work..he was laying on the floor next to other homeless..it hit me hard. I didn't have the guts to talk to him, although I wanted to, I just didn't want to embarrase him so I just walked away. I still think about what could of happened to him. Now I regret it I should of went back and gave him food or something. Although I do think drugs had something to do with it.
That shit was fucked up!
