Good luck Nash, you are gonna need it.
Though I think posting your admission here was probably a fairly big step to take, these guys are right, we arent 'real'.
When you are lying in a pool of your own vomit in the corner, shivering, sweating, and hoping your heart keeps on ticking, none of us are any good to you at all, all the best wishes and prayers in the world are no good to you in that situation, you need a real live person who cares, close by.
Talk to your family, friends, GP....whoever, just talk to them, let them know what is going on in your world, maybe they can then help out in some way.

Having said that, I too wish you the best.
Junkies discust me, ( reminds me too much of how weak and pathetic I once was too) , but ex-junkies have nothing but my respect. Its a long, hard road, and only you can walk it, there are no shortcuts, and no one will pick you up and give you a lift, but if you have what it takes to get past the **** sandwich turnoff, ham and cheese will be waiting when you reach the end.
Once again, good luck my friend, hope to see you at the other end of your road.

Wouldn't it be nice if there was someplace you could deal with your personal shortcomings online? Problem is, it would be a screw job. These things are done face to face.

Nuke, with all due respect, pull your head out of your anus. Cyber hugs and three cheers are nice when someone stumbles and needs a pick me up, but that is not what this is. We are talking about someone with a heroin addiction that is avoiding getting real, serious help for it. Moral support for Nash's chosen course will not help him kick heroin, it will help him to stay addicted.

CyranoAH · « **Reply #213 on:** October 31, 2003, 05:20:34 PM »

My take on all this:

Fact 1: He needs REAL WORLD, REAL LIFE HELP to survive this condition

Fact 2: The AH BBS is in no way a substitute for Fact 1

Fact 3: Good wishes and knowing people care for Nash don't do him any wrong. No one told him this would cure him, we are just saying that he better get help, and that he has our full support.

Fact 4: It'll take less than 3 replies to read something that questions the intentions or validity of this post.

Carry on...

For all you people know, Nash could be sitting at home right now with a needle in his arm. Telling him he is a good guy and **** ain't going to help him do anyhting but continue his present course of action. He needs help.

Do I hope he is able to beat the habit? Of course, I wouldn't wish what my brother went through on anyone. Do I think he is doing the right thing? Hell no.

He is destined to fail unless he gets some help. I won't be one to tell him that he is doing well. I think he is ****ing stupid. Hopefully he proves me wrong and he is smart and gets help.

Seems like most people here arrive at the same conclusion.

Does anyone think it would be a good idea to send this thread to Nash's parents?

BTW I played your track for some guys at work today. They couldnt beleive that this wasnt some million dollar recording by some big shot band.

I don't need anyone's permission to wish someone well. I don't appreciate the contention it is insincere, and I highly suspect the people saying such are overcompensating for some perceived shortcoming.

Hey! I'm an amatuer psychologist now, too!

Here's a hearty STFU to the FDB's.

Kieran,

We already know that you are morally superior. You don't have to try to prove it anymore.

What you have done is far worse.

of course that's just something someone posted on the internet, so it means nothing

I remember saying something to that effect about someones dog dying - didnt get probation though - maybe because I apologized three posts later. Forget who is was but I seem to recall there being a reason I was an ass.

I won't get into my background, but I think I'm probably more qualified in this area than 99% of the posters on this BBS. This guy needs to get REAL help. The best thing you can do is push him towards that. Heroin addiction is serious watermelon and going cold turkey outside of a structured program is not the smartest course of action.

That's my 2 cents, carry on.

I have limited experience with this sort of stuff, I've only had to bury one friend from drug abuse. He was only 19 and one of the most intelligent and happy people I knew. Almost 3 years ago to the day as chance would have it. He ended up hanging himself presumably because it all became too much.

The worst thing was sitting through the coroners inquest with his parents and family listening to all the **** that was floating around in his blood. I never ever ever want to have to do that again.

To be honest think your a complete avacado for even considering doing the evil H in the first place. But you've admitted you have a problem and I suppose that’s a good first step and worthy of some praise. So now that’s out of the way the next step of telling a real person, like a doctor, shouldn't be too hard. Stop pissing about and go and do it.

btw. The song you linked is very good.

I suggest anyone who knows Nash, where he lives, and his phone number, notify someone at the nearest rehab clinic, let them know what's going on, and have them contact Nash in person. Invading Nash's privacy is something I would normally never want to do, but his well being is the top priority now, and he needs someone who can help him. I am a Grandfather, and I want Nash to enjoy the rest of his life, and don't really care if I upset his feelings at this point. It's time for the real people to step up now. I hope all agree to the point someone will have the brains to make the call.

Respectfully,
Thorns
