- a little truth:
-
- anything can be addictive; masturbation can be addictive, eating, etc. and most
- of it is only partially physical. the mind is grasping for anything it can
- find in these roughstomach nietzschean days...love addiction, sex addiction,
- food addiction...strange...
-
- alcoholism, is, i believe a physical disease. i have more reason to know than
- most of you, given the usual profile of people on here (much more into the
- so-called illicit drugs than alcohol). alcohol is dangerous shit, and
- alcoholism is a slippery term -- you can be an alcoholic on two beers a year.
- very few people understand it or want to; alcohol's legal, so no one's gonna
- say it's that unsafe. it's not. it's an extremely predictable drug, so you
- can tell when to avoid it, but like anything else it is best in moderation.
- i'm sure you can fry your brain on LSD; I'm sure you can fry your brain on
- water. debating the extremes is solipsistic.
-
- i'd try heroin before i'd try cocaine. some drugs strike me as really bad for
- my personality. i bet if i took coke i'd end up like my father, an asshole
- (some of course are saying at this point that i am an asshole, which is
- simple-minded, not unlike the music of the red hot chilipeppers or, say, the
- riffs of ministry or the lyrics of stevie ray vaughan). i bet if i took heroin
- i'd resemble my dead relatives.
-
- so sure, you can burn out on anything. even the masturbator addicted will rub
- himself raw. lsd, mdma, whatever. alcohol included -- you can bottom out, and
- then go beyond, where you don't want to do anything but want to be in motion.
- it's horrible (of course, this is only what i hear).
-
- ever come out of a three day blackout? (i hear) it's completely disorienting
- and horrible. ever drink something disgusting because you needed it (medicine
- not included)? i'm told it's just rank, yet satisfying. i'm told, i'm told.
-
- so yeah, addiction is part of any drug, even the ones your body produces. ask
- the marathon runner. id oubt anyone will ever face this, beccause we're all
- looking for easy answers like "LSD is safe" or "LSD is evil" or "if you just
- give someone this magic pink pill/tab/shot, they'll be just fine and see how
- great life is."
-
- i think we are all liars.
-
- and i'm told alcoholics are liars, but i see too many who have seen the abyss,
- recognized it, and then headed for the bottle -- who admit it, know it as
- religion, and sing their own kind of blues. i've heard so, anyway.
