I hate to try to take the limelight from where it belongs tonight (way to go, apple!), but I had to share this with someone.

As far as I can pinpoint it, it was one year ago today that I had my last encounter with "white stuff". I went to a hockey game, got wasted, ended up losing several hundred dollars and my shoes. Now that it's been 12 months, I can donate blood again. Up with hope, down with dope!

Keep up the good work! :thumb:
Civilisation, I vaguely realized then - and subsequent observation has confirmed the view - could not progress that way. It must have a greater guiding principle to survive. To treat it as a carcase off which each man tears as much as he can for himself, is to stand convicted a brute, fit for nothing better than a jungle existence, which is a death-struggle, leading nowhither. I did not believe that was the human destiny, for Man individually was sane and reasonable, only collectively a fool.

I hope the gunner of that Hun two-seater shot him clean, bullet to heart, and that his plane, on fire, fell like a meteor through the sky he loved. Since he had to end, I hope he ended so. But, oh, the waste! The loss!

Sounds great, NAK!

One request for clarification, though: What kind of dope are you talking about? Cannabis? Cocaine? Heroin? Methamphetamine?

I believe the "white stuff" would be coke.

The founding of the bulk of the world's nation states post 1914 is based on self-defined nationalisms. The bulk of those national movements involve territory that was ethnically mixed. The foundation of many of those nation states involved population movements in the aftermath. When the only one that is repeatedly held up as unjust and unjustifiable is the Zionist project, the term anti-semitism may very well be appropriate. - P*D

My congratulations as well. These things grab you and won't let go. You sound like you've broken the grip. Keep it up, NAK. Keep it up.

I'm glad to hear you're clean. Stay that way. That stuff will wreck your life. My wife provides education to criminals and she sees a lot of the wreckage.

NAK, I spent several years teaching at a federal prison. Don't go there. You don't want ANY part of that.

Stay clean and stay clear. If you think DivaDeb is tough, wait 'til she and I tag team you.

Love,
Mom

Well done, NAK. I'm really, really glad you've pulled your socks up (and found your shoes, presumably :) )
So don't screw up again; you'll have a whole pack of mums on your case. :tongue:

NAK, way to go, bro'. I've seen the stuff wreck the lives of a few (former) friends of mine. Everyday, commit to that one day. The next day, commit to it. And so forth and so on. You're doing it, and I'm so glad for you.

I donate every 16 weeks since I started doing the double red cell donations. I like it because I'm still doing my duty as I see it, but only have to go in half as often as I did when donating whole blood.

I know I've already posted, but I really am SO proud of you, NAK. I can't even express how much.

Thanks, fellas. The positive reinforcement just gives me more reason to keep off the stuff. Though I have to say, it's pretty well out of my system. Even the temptation has almost completely disappeared.

Klaus, Phlebas had it. Cocaine it was.

I'm setting up an appointment at the next donor's clinic. Got some catching up to do...
