reprinted from Sept 2003
This is my personal little concept of my addiction to opiates....
When I was young and used to watch cartoons, there was this character called the Tasmanian devil. He traveled like a little tornado, a little whirlwind thing everywhere he went.
He lives in a little room inside my brain. I have my own belief that we addicts may be born with him already there while those without addictive tendencies don't.
The first time I used heroin the door to his room opened just a crack. He was sound asleep to the point of being almost comatose.
Every time I used the drug the door would open just a little wider.
A few years of steadily using heroin finally made that door swing wide open. That was enough to stir him a little.
A little more steady drug use and he moved a little like he was going to wake up.
First a little movement, then a yawn and maybe a stretch...a little more arousement every time I shot some dope.
It took a few years of using to finally wake him up fully.
Once he had been fed enough to be fully awake was when he really started to get an appetite.
The more I fed him, the stronger he got and the bigger he got.
It got to the point that he had to shove things out of his way to make more room for himself.
He shoved it all to the back of my brain. Those things that were my morals, my values, my self-esteem(there wasn't much of that to begin with anyway), my motivation to pursue any goals I had, and pretty much anything else that might stand in his way of getting fed.
The more I fed him.....the bigger his appetite got.
The stronger he got....the weaker I got.
He made sure not to mess with the part of my brain that allowed me to be resourceful and manipulative though. He was a pretty smart little guy. He knew how to keep the "food" coming.
Once he was wide awake and fully grown, he moved powerfully like that little whirlwind tornado all around my brain. His movements were so powerful that my life started going the same way, a whirlwind life, chaos, an obsession with feeding that powerful beast.
One day circumstances came knocking on my door. The lifestyle and the means to make drug money all caught up with me. Well, Hey! I had to find a way to keep that little guy fed!
Talk about starvation diets! I couldn't feed him anymore. Not even a snack and he made my life hell for about a week because of it.
He kept screaming at me 24/7 for his food. All I could think of was how badly I was wanting to feed him to quiet him down. He was really messing with my whole body by then, not with just my brain!
I was looking at a life situation that I had no control over by being under the thumb of the law and it meant that I would no longer have a way to feed him!
But as I soon found out, the longer he went without his "food", the weaker he got.
First he started to leave my bodily functions alone and continued to get weaker and weaker til he finally ran out of strength to mess with my brain.
The weaker he got, the sleepier he got until one day he finally fell back asleep.
As his sleep got deeper, the door to his room slowly started to close.
There came a day when he finally went comatose and the door slammed shut tight.
All those things that he had moved to the back of my brain slowly began to make their way back to their rightful places.
....And then it was time to go around and pick up the broken things caused by the tornado. Some things I could fix, some couldn't be replaced, and some of the wreckage is still being repaired to this day almost 10 years later.
I was able to keep that sucker in a coma for a few years until one day I ran into an old friend who was also in recovery. He soon relapsed but I did not.
I thought I could help him get back on track but I stuck around just a little too long with an active user. The rest is history.
I really thought I could do just a taste without waking the beast. It worked!
I told myself that as long as I didn't do "a whole bag at a time" and "never two days in a row" then I would be okay.
So a week later I did another taste. Then a few days later I did a whole bag. The next day I did another bag.
It didn't take much to fully wake up the monster! He had been comatose for years until I woke him up again.
Here I am today, almost 3 years later after that first "taste just one more time"....I'm still working to put that little sucker back to sleep.
It's too bad I can't totally and completely kill him.
We addicts are always going to have that monster in our head but whether we feed him or put him into a coma is all up to us.
Peace and God bless us all....
Dcainedwr 3/22/07;
I was a using addict for 15 years - IV heroin & cocaine, and eventually methadone.
I went from being a professional musicians to being a street person, living in cars and jailhouses up and down the state of California.
It has been almost 8 years since I have had a drink or a drug, and life is MUCH better than I expected. I hope every addict gets the same second second chance that I did. Take it easy.

My monster is more like a demon.. I see these ghostly white faces with eyes so sunken and dark that you can't see the eyeballs. Long, distorted, oversized faces with mouths always open and screaming. During my first week, I swear I could feel hands with claws tearing at the meat in my back. The scary part is how sweet it looks when it's asleep....

bless you spring, and to those of your sharing your honesty. It isn't always easy seeing on paper (or online, here) just where we go and what we have done, and continue to do.
I can't stop crying tonight-again!
I am so afraid of making the change and stopping. Afraid of failure of removing myself from life as I know it now. I have been trying to add some healthy points back into my life-like a bit of exercise, eating better, stuff like that. Doesn't last.Somewhere along the way I must have felt that I did not deserve a clean/content life-can't figure that one at all!
I feel ...well I am not sure-right now it is immense sorrow.

I have heard so many times and have said myself the same when a person is ready a person will change.
So what happens when we (I) want to change, however am not prepared and fearful of making those changes.
How many times can I come online here and cry and anger myself and maybe many of you out there, too.
I know I am just venting here, I need to though. So please allow me that respect-It looks like I'm taking it anyway!
I am so excited about yet another job interview on Monday, and in the next breath question myself -why bother? After all if I am going to go into rehab sooner than later-when that is I am not sure-why go for a new job?
I've got answers to this and other questions coming out my elbowhole!
love to you all, and thanks for your patience

hey you, you know funnily enough, although I am miles away from USA, I am in Spain, I can most definately say, this little monster, I have a little room inside my head too, and his brother must live there!!!!!!
I have just found this site, and read your post and in all the12 years of my addicted life I have tried to find a simple way that people would understand to explain the"adventure" from beggining to{on rare occasions} end and here it is, brought tears to my eyes as I read, I wasnt expecting to read "the rest is history" I was gutted.
At the moment my monster is sleeping and the door is shut, but very occasionally the wind blows it open. I have used maybe3 times in last18months. Before that I was spending about 50 euros a day plus the 80ml methadone. So Im pretty thankfull I suppose, although I put myself in a situation that would make it very difficult to score.
Here in Spain the places you need to go to score are very dangerouse, and I would never go there at night on my own if I wasnt desperate and turkying so after detoxing I moved to another area and started working during the day changed my phone number, cut off from all fellow users. Now it would take me over an hour to get to where I used to score, and I just wouldnt take the risk.
Now if I only needed to go round the corner I recon things would be significantly different, but I preffer them as they are and the door is slowly but surely loocking I dont know if I would ever be able to kill him completely but hopefully I can put him in a comer and eventually switch off the life support machine. Good luck taming yours.
I just love your post so much I want to have it on paper and maybe make it into a poster to put in my room, its a work of art, Im serious. Im not very experienced with computers can you give me any idea how I can save it as my printer isnt working at the moment.
Reply from Spring;
Hi exuser, Thanks for all the warm compliments. You brought tears to my eyes as well.
The only way I can think of to save it is to copy it onto a floppy disk. Then when you can get to a computer with a printer, insert the floppy and print it out from there.

hey there,
Cheers for that Spring, recon Ill be able to do it in Internet cafe.
Ashley I agree with you 100 percent, firstly to Riwm, curiousity killed the cat as they very rightly say, I am 100 percent sure that if you new properly where that s??t would land you after a week of using it then you wouldnt even touch it, It is big time addictive, and not only will it crush your health, self respect, morals and family and people close to you but it will suck your wallet and bank account completely dry, believe me.!!!
As for it still being in your system now, like Ashley said you can relax. Here in Spain the heroin is mixed with crack, and I tested it out once with home drug tests that I managed to aquire at the time when I was "occasionally" using, and after 3 to 4 days both the heroin and the crack where out of my system. Although everybody is different and we all eliminate toxins at a different rate, we are still only talking about a matter of days.
So take heed, drugs only take you "up" the first few timesyou use them, then they grab you by your soul and rip you to shreds, and turn the lives of people round about you upside down, I myself have 2 beautifull children of 9 and 6 and it kills me when I think back that it was in my hands to do things differently to give them the better life that they deserve but I chose the drug, it didnt choose me!!! The guilt is unbearable at times... Not worth it my friends.......Not worth it.

I'm living it everyday, fighting that demon, the devil, I just want him to give me some peace, to leave me alone just for a day would be nice but no, he seems to be there the min I wake-up to the min I fall asleep at night. I wonder if he'll ever really go away?

The Monster Inside my Head
Your story made me realize what is going on inside my son's head. He started H a year ago, it took me a whole summer, and thousands of dollars to just get an idea of how powerful this devil is. When you first find out a loved one is using, you get mad and think they can just stop out of shame, but it's beyond that. There is no shame. My mother was addicted to gum and black licorish. Whatever the addiction, it's not easy to stop, but H changes the personality. I need help to figure out how to help him.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad marked his regime's annual anti-Israel rallies by saying that the only path for the Palestinians is resistance, not peace talks.
In his speech for Al Quds day, the last Friday in Ramadan launched by the late Ayatollah Khomeini in the 1980s as an anti-Israel rallying day, Ahmadinejad also said Israel was too "weak" to strike Iran.
Speculation has increased in recent weeks that Israel will strike Iran within a year to keep it from achieving a nuclear weapons capability.
A range of Iranian officials said renewed Palestinian-Israeli peace talks launched this week in Washington would come to naught.
Manouchehr Mottaki, the foreign minister, accused the Egyptian and Jordanian leaders of "betraying" their people by attending and sanctioning the talks. In retaliation, Egypt withdrew an invitation to Mottaki to attend a meeting of members of the non-aligned movement next week.
Iranian media predicted millions of Iranians would rally on Al-Quds day, named for the Arab term for Jerusalem.
"Today millions of people will shout out their will for liberation of the holy Quds from the devil's claw of Zionists," the Associated Press quoted the Fars news agency as saying.

Oil prices and the economy
Crashing oil prices have hit Alaska's political establishment like an early frost that halts the growth of a garden. But what will be the impact on the real economy here in Anchorage, where we live? We'll look at how lower oil prices and government spending could affect jobs and housing prices in our neighborhoods. The legendary crash of the '80s started this way — how do we avoid a repeat?

Muscle Mustangs & Fast FordsHow To Engine
Ford Mustang Stroker Engine Build - Superstar Stroker Part 2 - Tech
Adding airflow to the giant 445ci engine buildup.
Last month, we started on an unusually large small-block Ford engine. The short-block was built in collaboration with Rich Groh Racing and Pro Power Performance Parts, and the massive Windsor is being constructed with complete street worthiness in mind.
To accomplish the goal, the parties involved came up with a 445ci solution to our problem. They took a World Products Man O' War block and bored the cylinders to 4.155 inches. The Man O' War block is one of the few on the Ford market capable of handling a huge bore without filling in the cooling passages with concrete or block fill for added strength.
They also stuffed a Prime One 4.100-inch crankshaft into the crankcase to jump the cubes even more. The short-block is sure to handle almost anything we throw at it-within reason, of course. The short-block is the foundation on which we will build a street beast that will hang with even the most hard-core '03-'04 Cobras and other nasty street machines lurking around our neighborhood. This mill will also benefit from a Vortech YSi-Trim supercharger that will breathe 12-14 psi of boost into the Edelbrock Super Victor intake manifold.
Some may argue that running such a long stroke puts undue stress on the piston skirts due to side load. Side load can come from a short connecting rod coupled with a long-stroke crankshaft. There is an angle that pushes excessively on one side of the piston. With those theories out and about in the engine-building community, why would anyone want to build an engine with such a big stroker crankshaft? It is easily explained: "Side load comes from poor rod-to-stroke ratios. What is an acceptable ratio before there is a problem? The rod-to-stroke ratio of this combination is 1.51:1. To put that into perspective, there are OE engines that have worse rod-to-stroke ratios than the one in this engine," says Dale Metlika of Pro Power. He discussed with us the finer points of side loading and explained that our engine buildup was not excessive.
Metlika also brought up the importance of oiling and how it helps prevent excessive wear in a short rod, long-stroke engine. For those who read Part 1, you may remember us discussing the finer points of oiling with this engine. One of the features Groh incorporated was a medium plateau hone. It was meant to promote better oil retention on the cylinder walls. The bore surface was flat, but there are microscopic grooves to help retain oil on the walls. A piston does not rub against the wall. Rather, it glides on a film of oil, so the piston is technically not smashing into the side of the bore with every up and down motion. The Prime One/Pro Power pistons also have provisions for oil retention on the skirts, so there is no shortage of oil as the pistons move up and down. Another hot topic is ring wear because of side load. Pro Power includes rings in its stroker kits that are beefy and long lasting.

The sweet-smelling tobacco smoke wafts dreamily into the relaxed atmosphere of the hookah bar. Customers draw heavily from the water pipes in front of them, calm expressions on their faces, making easy conversation with friends.
Sound romantic?
It's anything but.
In the most recent issue of the medical journal Nicotine and Tobacco Research, a study led by Dr. Stephanie Smith-Simone and colleagues at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond documents attitudes and behaviors of water pipe users — and makes some disturbing findings.
Water pipe use, also known as hookah or hukka, is becoming increasingly popular among American youth, particularly college students. Smoking in this way involves heating the tobacco to form smoke that then bubbles through water and into tubes from which one inhales the smoke.
It is estimated that more than 100 million people worldwide smoke tobacco using a water pipe, with use most common in the Middle East.
While the exact number of users of water pipe tobacco is not known in the United States, dozens of water pipe bars have opened in college towns and large metropolitan areas nationally. Most tobacco experts believe that this phenomenon is on the increase, but no national surveys have been done.
Water pipe tobacco comes in many varieties, with fruit flavors among the most popular. Unlike other forms of tobacco use, it appears that women are equally as likely to smoke hookah as men.
Water pipe smoking is by no means safe. Use of this product exposes the smoker to twice the amount of poisonous gas, carbon monoxide, and three times the amount of nicotine compared with one cigarette.
Water pipe smoke also contains more tar — the component of tobacco smoke that contains the cancer-causing chemicals — than cigarette smoke, although some experts argue that hookah smoke tar is less harmful than cigarette tar because it is not heated to the same degree.
There is no disagreement, however, that the worst cancer-causing chemicals — the so-called tobacco specific nitrosamines — are present in water pipe smoke. In addition, particles within the smoke irritate the lungs, causing inflammation that in turn can lead to bronchitis and emphysema. In fact, some evidence suggests that airflow rates among regular hookah smokers are reduced more frequently than among cigarette smokers.
And that is not the end of the story. According to the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention, the length of hookah smoking sessions combined with the depth of inhalation expose smokers to 100 to 200 times the volume of a single cigarette. Moreover, hookah smokers can develop the same diseases as cigarette smokers, including heart disease and cancers of the mouth, lung and bladder.
Cancer development is not surprising because water pipe smoking causes DNA changes in the cells of these smokers compared to nonsmokers.
Despite these scary risks, Smith-Simone and colleagues document relatively favorable attitudes toward water pipe smoking compared with cigarette smoking.
Their study surveyed customers from a water pipe café in Richmond as well as Internet users who logged on to HookahForum.com.

At Score we send our kids home with the sense of accomplishment that can only come as a result of working hard to earn something.
- At Score Tulsa Basketball Camps we are focused on improving our players game and that comes through in everything we do. We coach each player about the nuances of the game, we instruct, and mentor each player throughout our camps.
- If a player is struggling in an area we assist them and we build up their self-esteem and their skill level simultaneously. And although we are known as being the best basketball camp in Tulsa we are focused on being known as a place where players became better people.

Bioelectricity Offers More Miles and Fewer Emissions Than Ethanol: Study
Bioelectricity Offers More Miles and Fewer Emissions Than Ethanol: Study
A new study suggests converting biomass to electricity rather than ethanol for transportation produces fewer greenhouse gas emissions and offers more "miles per acre."
Researchers from Stanford University and the University of California, Merced, studied the lifecycle of plant-based electricity, or "bioelectricity," and ethanol technologies to determine which delivered more miles of transportation with fewer environmental impacts. They concluded battery-powered vehicles that used electricity derived from biomass provided an average of 80 percent more miles of transportation per crop acre than internal combustion engine vehicles running on ethanol made from corn or switchgrass.
"The internal combustion engine just isn't very efficient, especially when compared to electric vehicles," Co-author Eliott Campbell of U.C. Merced said in a statement last week. "Even the best ethanol-producing technologies with hybrid vehicles aren't enough to overcome this."
A small SUV with an internal combustion engine can travel roughly 9,000 highway miles on the net energy produced from an acre of switchgrass, compared to nearly 14,000 highway miles for a small SUV powered by bioelectricity.
Electric cars fueled by bioelectricity avoid twice as many greenhouse gas emissions as ethanol-powered internal combustion engine vehicles, according to the study.
"We found that converting biomass to electricity rather than ethanol makes the most sense for two policy-relevant issues: transportation and climate," Co-author David Lobell of Stanford's Program on Food Security and the Environment said in a statement. "But we also need to compare these options for other issues like water consumption, air pollution, and economic costs."
In addition to Lobell and Campbell, the research team included Chris Field, a Stanford professor and director of the department of global ecology at the Carnegie Institution. The trio's study appeared in the May 8 issue of the journal Science.

The FW1 WATERLESS WASH & WAX is a high performance cleaning wax in an aerosol can. Clean and wax an average sized vehicle in under 30 minutes. One can of FW1 Waterless Wash and Wax will do that same car 3-4 times. On average, full service car washes use 37 gallons of water per wash, while washing a car at home can use well over 100 gallons. Both methods send detergents, grease and oils down the storm drains and eventually to the oceans. When you consider that each can of FW1 Waterless Wash and Wax can wash the average size car up to four (maybe five) times which means a savings of TWO BILLION gallons of water per year is not only possible, it WILL happen! Save water with us by trying FW1 Waterless Wash and Wax. The spray-on, wipe-off cleaning wax saves water, time and energy. A showroom shine is just minutes away.
FW1 Waterless Wash and Wax is a superior product which can be used on cars, RVs, boats, personal watercraft, motorcycles, airplanes, trucks, bicycles and even the kitchen sink...

Baltimore Orioles catcher Matt Wieters missed Friday night's game against the visiting Boston Red Sox after his wife gave birth to the couple's first child earlier in the day, according to MLB.com. It is not known if Wieters will miss any other games. His wife Maria delivered the couple's son, Maverick Luther, at 5:11 a.m. ET. "He's got his priorities where they need to be," manager Buck Showalter said before the game. "He is still at the hospital. ... He has been there obviously for quite awhile without sleep, so we'll see what tomorrow brings. He is where he should be. One thing experience allows you to do as you get older is you try to keep people from making the mistakes you made. So that's about the only advice I've given him." Taylor Teagarden got the start behind home plate and batted ninth. Wieters is batting .252 with 22 homers and 82 RBI in 139 games.

November 9th, 2012 #51It is unfortunate, however, that the community thinks dramatic lighting of a highly detailed closeup shot is patented by Dave Rapoza
Had to get that off my chest. Now I'll offer some crits. I really like your stuff, but I think overall everything feels a bit too smooth. Even the textured surfaces feel like smooth with an overlay. I wanna feel like that texture is truly integrated with the forms, penetrating it, lifting it up and moving with the contours. Also breaking up your specular hits a little would help combat that soft look. Same with your backgrounds, try to a little more visual noise in there, some sharper edges (tone em' down with close values), more value shifts in general.
Anyway, great stuff, lots of impact. Kudos for handling peoples probing inquiries with decorum as well. Keep it up!

Got Questions? We've got answers from experts and parents who've been there.
My 3 1/2-year-old son has been happily potty trained since 1 years old. However, about eight months to one year ago, he decided that he did not "know" how to wipe his bottom. He refuses to try. We've tried every trick that many publications give sbout potty training help, but I haven't seen any information on how to handle this particular issue and I can't seem to find a solution. Any suggestions?
Toddlers and preschoolers may not be the best at wiping, and they may leave some soiled areas that get itchy and uncomfortable. I am a big fan of disposable "diaper" wipes--wet, soapy cloths that help make wiping a bit more successful for a young child. It's ok for your 3 year old to feel like he needs help, so after he finishes going to the potty, encourage him to participate in the experience of wiping himself and then check to see if he does ok. Eventually, after some praise from you, he will graduate to wiping on his own going forward.
The answers from our experts are for educational purposes only. Please always refer to your child's pediatrician and mental health expert for more in-depth advice.

The best is yet to come.
I am an honest, respectful, moral, and a youthful looking 47 year old , single lady. I enjoy music of various genres, movies and live entertainment, museums, concerts, malls, parks, people watching, and sharing a long walk with good company. I enjoy dining out at a restaurant or experimenting with new recipes and preparing a simple meal at home. Shopping for anything gives me pleasure. I enjoy a quiet night at home lying on the couch watching a good movie or an evening out. I like to laugh, but I am also reliable and responsible when time and circumstance require. Traveling and discovering new places and new adventures is an awesome feeling, ( I have a valid passport) I try to keep an open mind about trying new things at least once; within reason of course. I strive to maintain a healthy lifestyle, balancing healthy eating, (I still must have a treat of comfort foods occasionally) exercise and limiting the stressors in my life (a little indulgence is always a great way to relax and unwind once in a while). I am in search of one special single man with compatibility to share conversation, laughter, companionship, intimacy, the highs and lows of life, and eventually embark on a journey through life together. My Ultimate goal is to terminate my subscription and join the Match success story alumni. The match that I envision is an assertive, ambitious, single man with integrity, self-respecting with strong moral character and who knows how to treat a lady. A thoughtful, honest and assertive gentleman who looks good, smells good and doesn't sweat the small stuff. Definitely a plus if you can cook. If you share common interest, and have similar goals; if my profile sparks an interest or curiosity, feel free to reach out. I am not perfect and don't expect to find perfection. Please don't wink if your profile does not include "self portraits". Thanks for reading my profile, and good luck with your search. Nes,
