no shame in that, getting well is a process.
just know that anyone who actually respects you and is intelligent enough to have business that would be of mutual benefit knows that as well, and would be crazy to work with you until you have your issues under control.
you can't build a business or recover from what you've lost tangibly when you revert back to chemicals any time things get rough. when you don't spend a good stint focusing on kicking the ish that brought you to this point in the first place.
get your life together. fuck that, create a new life as you move beyond the crutches you've relied upon thus far. make that your first priority.
'bad luck' is going to follow you until you get the addictions beat. you can do that, just don't see how pretending that you being in a new location with new blog posts furthers that.
stop fucking around. get clean. get control of your life. it's hard but far easier than uh, all this
wish you all the best, but for real, stop fucking around and pretending one good day/good week is going to fix your life. it won't. until you rewire your brain through a really tough stint of non-chemical living it will be rough, but worth it in the long run. or you can be dead in 5-10 years, if you're lucky. seen enough peeps go down this round, we all know how it ends up.
yo choice son.

See, that is the kind of thing I wish I had heard from my (friends / partners) before everything came to a head like this. I don't care if anyone believes this but around six years ago I contracted tuberculosis somehow. For those of you who don't know, it's not some kind of disease you get from sharing needles, it's airborne. I was on a hard-core regimen of medication to get rid of it for eight months and the drugs were so toxic to my liver I was completely straight for eight months.
During that time, I started to enjoy not waking up with a headache or throwing up. So even after I got off my medication outside of smoking pot I stayed sober for probably another six months. That was up until I met my ex-girlfriend who was a complete alcoholic. I started drinking again and went for it pretty hard for the eight months or whatever we were together.
The difference between her and I were was: I worked for a living, but she would start pounding the Jaeger as soon as she woke up. One day I asked, "isn't it annoying when you go to bars and you haven't been drinking and everyone else's drunk?"
She said "yes"
Then I told her that's what she was making every day of my life like. She said she would chill out, but she never did so we broke up. By that point I was sick and tired of even being around alcohol.
While all that was going on, my business partners I Had been on a campaign telling everyone in the industry how much of an addict I was, even though at the time I was basically sober.
Once everything had gone down and I had nothing to do. I decided if they wanted to paint a picture of me as being some kind of alcoholic and drug addict, I might as well be an alcoholic and drug addict and that was the period of maybe a year you would see the erratic posts etc.
Fact is, I have two speeds I am either completely sober or I drink one beer and then I will keep drinking till I blackout.
Now, I realize that, so for the most part (outside of special occasions) I don't even drink. Now that I don't live in LA, I don't have quack doctors to prescribe me Xanax and I'm totally off of that as well.
The only thing I really do smoke pot. If that makes me an addict then guilty as charged.
