Feelin’ like Lindsay Lohan (Yes, I’m talking about REHAB…)

As of now, I’ve been two weeks as an inpatient in a rather-expensive [by my standards] holistic rehab (can’t really say much because of some stupid confidentiality agreement…but fuck that! It doesn’t cover my thoughts about it…).

Anyways, I have to say this detox phase really sucks…like REALLY SUCKS! It’s horrible and don’t let anybody fool you into thinking it’s the “most comfortable part of it“ like they told me. Even though I’ve been on some medicine it still feels like i’m doing this cold turkey… and somehow makes me realize it would have been almost the same doing it by me onesie in my home.

I’ve got to say:  Quitting drugs ain’t that fucking hard, it’s the staying clean part of it that fucks you up and messes up with your mind.

Anyways, I’m still supposedly “detoxing”, so I can’t say I’m some sort of expert on this shit. Just makes me feel a bit more experienced than before. And, yes, go ahead and ask me: WHAT THE FUCK WAS I THINKING??! (It’s what I’m thinking right now…)

I’ve got two more weeks coming up. The question is: will I stay here or sign myself out before it’s time?

Note to Self #3: REHAB!

Right now, I’m doing one of my “NOT new year’s resolutions”: getting the hell outta here for my own fucking sanity! I need to do this and I plan to keep posting while I’m there… that way I’m gonna give all of you an inside perspective on drug rehabs and hopefully help someone somewhere decide if that is something they could consider to better their own life. And NO, I’m not gonna preach about the good things that can come out of stopping drug use/addiction because I’m the first one that hates people telling me that.

Almost Everyone’s a Fucking Drug-addict!

There’s one thing (almost) everyone agrees upon and that is that the WAR ON DRUGS is a complete and utter failure! In my opinion, it is useless. Tell a kid to not do something and the next second that all he or she is thinking about doing. And what does that lead to? To doing the fucking drug!

Now, i’ve seen all these new “wonderful” ads for the campaign “Above the Influence”. Really? Like that’s gonna help. Why not instead of spending thousands or millions of dollars on this crap, spend it better in trying to help those who want to quit using. There’s all this talk about how people should quit drugs but there’s no actual help for those who need it, for those who don’t even have a dime to pay for real treatment. The government should focus instead on treating addicts as patients not as criminals.

If people want to use all kinds of shit, let them by all means! It’s their own bodies they’re damaging. Just like with the damn birth control pill, any kind of drug is a choice an individual makes. Legalize the damn stuff and drug users and addicts will get clean drugs that won’t be cut with even more dangerous shit.

The world is fucked up and will continue to be fucked up until people in general accept that everyone is entitled to have the freedom to make their own choices as long as they don’t infringe on other’s rights!

Anyway, enough about my ranting about the government and drugs.

 On a side note, people should start realizing that those pills that they shove down their throats whether for psychiatric or physical conditions are DRUGS. That alcohol and nicotine are DRUGS. Why treat cocaine, heroin, MDMA, LSD and other drugs differently??!

tons of reasons to think the way that I do...not that I will explain them in this brief note...]]]
