Well family, another day is coming to a close. I am sitting on my bed in a t-shirt and boxer shorts figuring out how to inspire the world. In today's edition, I really want to discuss how the media portrays us. Pretty much on a daily basis, a journalist of one type of another want to get the "inside story" by interviewing current and former opioid "addicts". While some may be kind hearted and many are sympathetic, they aren't us. I look at the books coming out about the "epidemic". They aren't US either. I want to hear stories written by us.What constitutes US:- Have you used toilet water to fix?- Have you gone to work dopesick?- Have you had to drive you kid to school holding your cheeks sick?- Have you traded a family heirloom for some pills?- Have you washed the dope man's dishes? Watched their kids?- Have you cried over a lost bag?- Have you burned out all forms of credit?- Are you on house arrest? Do you have to pee in a cup- Have you thought subs taste like defeat at least once?- Have you had to put your legs against the wall and pushed to poop?- Have you nodded out on top of food?- Have you used a syringe with the numbers worn off?- Have you been called in on a pill count?- Do you know what "BLOW, BLOW!!!" means- Has anyone ever walked off with your last money?- Do you know what squat and cough means? Or spread your cheeks?- Have you had your dose held for a UA?- Have you been narcaned?I want to hear THOSE stories from US. We don't need all those to qualify. That is just a start. I want to hear about your first day at the sub clinic. I want to hear about the time you bought baking soda. I want to hear about your first week back at college. Our stories are being taken away. We need our voices heard. I am not sure how I am doing this yet. I am on the case. Nothing about US with out US.I love you all. Fentanyl is in pretty much every part of the US drug supply. Please get naloxone.
