Yeah, after I graduated MIU, I went to law school for a year and then dropped out due to low grades and lack of funds. Then I started waiting tables at a famous New Orleans restaurant notorious for drug use, where I started merely by experimenting with all the substances I hadn't used during college, and then before I knew it I was seriously addicted.  It took me about three years to give up crack, and I still did powder socially for another ten more years, and then gave that up. I still smoke weed, though not the last week or two, and yada yada. During these 18 years since I graduated MIU I have been clean on and off about a full half of the time staying clean for a few years then not, and then cleaning up again. By not clean, I don't mean going back to crack addiction, but drinking, smoking, powder, pills, that shit. I am not one to be sanctimonious at this point. The crack years were a time of great depression for me where I found that nature didn't support just because I thought it should. It was a time for me to learn that I had merely been vainglorious about my spritual state, but not truthfully grounded in it.  I don't regret the experience, though the idea of ever doing crack again gives me shivers of illness and makes me want to puke just thinking about it. Those were hard times. They also showed me the fallacy of magical thinking. ----- Original Message ----- From: off_world_beings To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, May 05, 2005 6:18 PM Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: TM in Malls So what the hell happened? You're always talking about taking crack and stuff.
