Lets back up just a little, I started on my downward spiral (from my recollection) sometime in the spring / summer of 1996. After the end of a long term relationship with a woman I had spent 4 years with I moved back in with my parent’s home at the ripe old age of 25. My younger brother had shortly before this graduated high school; let’s just say a huge party was in the making. Fueled by overindulgence in Alcohol and Cocaine amongst other substances. Usually being up for three - four days at a time. These long cocaine and alcohol binges really started to take a toll on my physical and mental health. I was typically an embarrassment to be around, one night during another of many spells of cocaine induced psychosis I was given a light grey colored powder to snort. This was my first taste of Lady Heroin and it certainly would not be my last! She and I had a 14 year love affair that spanned 3 states, many disastrous relationships, 30+ trips to detox facilities, 20 or so trips to the county jail and beyond, 7 felony convictions..... Let’s just say I have lain a path of waste and destruction damn near everywhere I have been, as my mother once stated to me "You Have Become A Plague to Every Life You Have Touched" and she wasn't very far off base......
