About this user

Life is pretty hard when you already got what you need, ya know? Don't need to pay rent, don't pay for my own car, but also a veteran with sickness and sadness and bullshit and drugs. I started taking Suboxone after I was trying to detox off of Oxycontin and Methadone in 2005, which were my drugs of choice and desireable because they are opiates! Prior to that I had taken those drugs with marijuana and alcohol on a regular basis since about 2003. It is now to the point where I want to be sober and find my potential if any. I have waited around for days and days of my life thinking, learning techniques, singing, playing games, having sex, eating, and DOING DRUGS. The latter activity hindered my excellence in the other areas.

Physical scars and deformities are due to a disease I overcame when I was around 13 years old. A type of cancer, Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, was found by accident after a traumatic fall into the icy waters of Lake Michigan. It has a strong survival rate if treated. Anyhow, ever since beating the illness (Stage III-B Cell) I have seen the world as somewhat of a probability game and knowing my statistical chances of survival have always caused me to want to destruct or limit my chances with drugs and alcohol. The reason is that I can never actually know if I am truly healthy or if the doctors absolutely knew their process or whether nature just has it out for some of us.

Now I am pondering the reason for our existence and what have you. Honestly, why is there such necessity in knowing one's destiny or powers for personal success without actually naturally representing ones' self. By this, I feel it is essential now to focus on seeing myself through eyes that are fueled by natural goods and not unnaturally and chemically as through altered states of conciousness, which occur when influenced by drugs and alcohol.

I hope that this video and others like it will propogate a new string of folks that have struggled to be sober for long periods of time (forever) and who may actually enjoy seeing things from a new perspective. At least for a while...
