Devil At The Door

there are drugs involved here

1. THIS IS YOUR BRAIN OFF DRUGS-TWENTY years later

at one time there was in the house:
(I didn't cheat with none of these boys)
(hope the kids didn't play with these buddies)

-morphine
-attivan
-oxycottin
-demoral
-tramadol
-loritabs
-kadion?
-darvacetts
-valium
-zanax

in any way shape or form-shots, pills, syrup, i.v's
the best money could buy but we weren't having a party here
they just couldn't take away the pain that was so real
or give any peace or good feeling to a life that was already lost

we tried so hard to have a drug free home

And that's the only reason why I am PROUD to say I DID drugs at one time
not even the best at my hands would make me fall
because I knew they would not take away the pain or fill the emptiness
with any feeling of happiness in the life ahead of me

(well its still one of my favorite songs) STRAIGHT UP MAN
(cheated and about fell off the wagon a few times, but refused to get on "prescription drugs")
How did I not fall-T'S MAGIC-
STRAIGHT means refusing to let addiction take over even when you are on the edge.




like that bonus song - i do too ROCK ON STRAIGHT UP

For your listening pleasure while you read on:


Now knowing that smoking cigarettes done all of this
with all the tar and chemicals in them
he wanted me to quit smoking when he found out he had cancer
I found a way possible to quit and it worked well enough for about 6 months

I got serious enough to look up the drug nicotine and how to beat it and found out I might not better quit so soon-but he wanted me to:
Nicotine-the drug in cigarettes

So I found nicotine inhalers-Aeros Smokeless
Aeros Nicotine Inhalers-smokeless cigarettes
One inhaler equals a pack of cigarettes and a pack contains 20
One pack with shipping costs $32.00 and when ordered, they come in the mail in a week.

He had told me candy would help
so I killed two birds with one stone
and used some Commit lozenges
I still smoked outside at the house
but if someone is serious about quitting, these will work.

Unfortunately in the end I got discouraged and started back because I felt like dying myself.
When cigarette prices got outrageous, I found a mail order site that sells real cheap Native American cigarettes with paper filters and not all the chemicals in store bought cigarettes.

Safer, affordable Tobacco Products

I still use the inhalers in my office because I don't want to smoke around all that new computer stuff I got.

1. Cigarette filters contain fiberglass so they don't catch on fire if you forget one in the ashtray-they don't want you to go down in flames
   
2. fire retardant is added to the paper in cigarettes
3. Chemicals are added to tobacco to preserve it, keep out bugs, mold, etc
4. chemicals are added to tobacco to make it give you as much nicotine as it can
5. there are theories that some other addictive thing is added to make it so hard for nicotine patches, gums and other aids to work well enough to quit.
6. I support the public bans on smoking because the habit is very imposing on those who don't smoke and cigarettes are messy. Inconsiderate people who don't respect the comfort of nonsmokers and don't clean up their mess are taking away the freedom of those who choose to smoke or well have to because they are addicted.
7. I'll never understand how people managed to sue cigarette companies for their health problems when the warning labels are as clear as day. As for all the added chemicals the cigarette companies had to somehow make their product not be a fire hazard.

The chemicals added to cigarettes will make you go:
Up In Smoke-and how you get there

The only thing cool about playing around smoking is you get addicted then end up going up in smoke and down in cold blood.

My newest attempt to quit that has the best potential:
