I'm dating a cop and taking helicopter lessons

Piller, never met you before, but welcome back and congrats on staying clean (for today). I've got several really close friends that have waged their own battles with the chiva, so I've seen through them just what a fight it is. Stay strong, man.

there we go........
all is normal again

Do you men normal, or "same old piller"? I'd prefer normal, but I'll take what I can get.

Congrats Pillar on your recovery.

Not many heroin addicts make it back to a clean life.

wow, everyone is here. Mother, Herm, IZ, Howie, Mitt. It's like the motorcycle gang afterlife, and I've passed the final test.

Honestly speaking I did go through alot of crazy shit, but even so I can't say I regret it. It's who I am. I'll never do it again God willing, but it's made my life so interesting - I'd feel like it was way too boring otherwise.

I remember reading some of my old posts, and in a way I'm glad the old forum is gone with all those posts. My life is pleasantly tame now, but I still do crazy shit all the time.

My boss and I went bowling with his girlfriend last night. We made up rules like we had to do a crazy dance or fall down every time we bowled. It got really crazy, and I think they were ready to kick us out. I haven't laughed this much in years. Maybe my father pulled alot of strings up there for me or something.

Piller!

Damn you been gone a while.

Hope everything is good with you. Are you still in NY?

" For those who don't know, my father convinced me to marry this ex nun so she wouldn't have to go back to Tanzania. I agreed because I thought God was talking to me in license plate numbers due to the ibogaine treatment that got me clean. She was looking for an anchor baby and a green card. My father died in May......"

It's all true, and I do love writing it all in soap opera narritive form.

I just wanna say that I love all of you guys, and I'll never leave you again. Just please... don't do that crazy shit you did before that make the beast with two backsed up the DML. Hmm, I feel like I may have just hit a hot button - if so, please don't post anything argumentative.

RIP.

I knew he was sick. He was in Rye or close wasn't he?

His home was in Rye, but he passed away in the Bronx. It was a very, very tough time. Imagine saying your goodbyes and I love you's for months in all kinds of ups and downs - your own father. I'm still very numb to most of it. I loved my father very much. I feel like I grew up way too much and got way too older after that.

I left NY as soon as I could after all that stuff. I'm in Illinois now.

Got Duc · February 15, 2009, 05:46:50 AM

Was in Illinois a few years ago on a trip.

Beautiful country.

i meant the same old crazy stories

Oldfisti · February 15, 2009, 02:13:44 PM

Nice to have you back.

is my drug of choice.

Two of my crazy uncles partied as hard as you did. They've been clean, successful and happy for years. Longevity is attainable.

Good wishes to you and may you continue to flourish!

I'm sorry to hear about your pops man. I know how tough it can be. My dad spent 4 months in the hospital and 3 of those were in the ICU with a 5-15% chance of pulling through. You begin to see who the people who really care are. My brother and I spent about 12 hours a day there with him and my step brother was a HUGE help keeping his and my younger brother's business running while he was there.
But my sister and 2 step sisters were constantly talking about an inheritance and who would get what and all of that shit. I haven't talked to any of the 3 since.

It's good to see you turn your life around. To be honest, you inspired me to be more involved in my friend, John's fight to get clean. So far it has been 8 months of clean living and his wife has said alot lately that he is more the man she fell in love with now than he has ever been.

Keep fighting the good fight bro. And forget normal. You can be clean and be as abnormal as you want to be. I do it every day and have a job that I love, friends that I would go to jail for, and it gets better every day.

+1

I feel like I have had a very sedate life when I read Pillar's stories. That may be a good thing or a bad thing though

Glad to hear you're keeping it clean, man!
