SHIT AND THE SPOON - Short Thread

Working on this story about a guy I knew in prison named Pete.

White boy from OC, played in rock bands, in for assault. Was my bunkie for years.

Used to slam heroin; first time I ever actually saw the drug was him using it.
He’d get so excited when he was about to use, he’d have to take a shit.

Seriously; he’d draw the stuff up from the spoon, quickly put the needle down, grab a roll of toilet paper, and run to the bathroom.

Used to trip me out.
Pete would literally do this every time he’d score. It was ridiculous.

Once he would finally get a vein and send in the junk, Pete would throw up.

He’d go back to the bathroom, and puke his brains out.

Then it was back to the bunk, and nodding out for a couple hours.
Imagine, there was something you liked and craved so much, that when you finally got your hands on it, you had to defecate.

So much time and energy into something that makes you shit, then barf.

Crazy, Pete and others will do this to themselves for dope.
What if that energy was directed into something productive?

Harnessing their will so good materializes, instead of sickness and trouble.

I saw so many in prison who were trapped in the snares of addiction, it was mind-boggling.

Incarcerating yourself over and over for dope.
The good news is, it’s not that bad for you.

You aren’t stuck in prison.

You’re free.

If you buckle down, and really work towards something, it’ll happen.

Straight up.

You can have whatever you want.

Just go after it with intensity.

And don’t shit yourself.
