    Default My old party buddy is dead.

    Wow. In the last couple days, one of my friends emailed me to say that a friend of mine who I used to party with back in my horrible cocaine fueled days had died. I put an add on craigslist in the missed connections to ask what he was up to...(used to be my fuck buddy)....Somebody responded with this:

    Hey. My friend #(*#% is dead.

    The thing is, the person he mentioned was not my former fuck buddy, but another old party friend of mine. They have similar names and we used to all work together....I think the person who told me originally that my fuck buddy was dead got mixed up, or mixed up grape vine information. Still. It just really saddens me to know that he died, and I can probably guess what caused it.

    I used to run with such an amazing crew of kids from the time I was 18-22. Yes, we were bad, yes we took a TON of drugs but these people were wonderful and amazing. I got out of "the scene." It saddens me to think how somebody I was so close to at one point lost their life because of it. And to think how easily I could have been in his place.

    I'm sorry. it seems the people who fly the highest and the fastest tend to end a lot sooner than they should.

    which is a pity, because the world needs a lot more creative, adventurous, outside-the-box thinkers which I'm assuming your friend was.

    Thanks girl. He really was. I just clicked over to my gmail account and got the news..he was so much fun to be around, very kind, owned a local nightclub...

    I have been sober from cocaine (except for maybe one relapse a year, which for me is quite good) for four years. I understand how addictive and powerful it can be. Just soo sad that this happened. I personally got introduced to coke at my first real job ever bartending literally two weeks after I turned 18 at a huge nightclub. I had never drank before, and I really thought that this was just what people did...coke I mean...so I got sucked into it and it took me years to realize wait a minute, this is wrong. Most of the people I started with had been doing it long before me and apparently continued long after...sad is what it is. Dying to get high? Ugh.

    But for the grace of God.....

    There must be a Plan in the Universe because my half-brother has been drugging hardcore since he was 14 and he's still alive (late-thirties.) I always think he was born to suffer and cause pain because all of his druggie escapades never killed or injured him. We're talking car wrecks, overdoses, gastrointestinal bleeds, fights, getting shot at, shooting at others......Seriously. So not all druggies die young or glorious, some live on as a warning to others.....

    Too bad though.....

    Exactly, but for the grace of God.

    Not to be a weirdo, but the reason I finally quit doing drugs like that was because once I was doing coke in this bar that was being built. My nose started gushing blood and everybody started laughing and saying "use the other side of your nose. rusty pipes!" I remember being way too high and just praying "please God don't let my mom find out I died on the floor of this disgusting bar bathroom." That was it for me.

    I feel blessed that I had that experience and was okay. I'm so sad for people like your bro, and I can relate to that as well because my step brother is now in jail for possession.

    Yeah that's sad. Another great young person gone to the world.

    I recently heard a dancer friend of mine who was heavy into coke passed away.

    Too many tragedies for me to name, sad to hear of another one.

    Let's consider ourselves fortunate and hope we can learn from these people who are no longer with us.

    I'm so sorry to hear of your loss, VP. Especially when you hear about such things through the grapevine, it's a weird feeling of... having to hear about it from 4 degrees away, instead of having been able to have Been There.

    Cocaine addiction is a deep pain... when I was deeply into the throes of mine I understood on some level that it was a symptom of something bigger. But it's easy to have those flashes of understanding... and then cover it up with being high.

    Luckily I was fortunate enough to be able to go to Guam, which completely took me out of my element and got me out cold turkey. I've done it 2x since then (in 6 months). I hit bottom right before I went, though... someone sold me some methadone for the plane ride but I was on such a drug bender that I took it the night I was supposed to pack. Instead I collapsed outside of a convenience store, puking... but that also meant I had to face the plane ride sober.

    ...by the way, thanks to everyone on SW who called me, texted me, PMed me and walked me through that period. With the exception of one IRL friend (former heroin addict who'd been through NA and channelled her energies into becoming an amazing fire performer -- of The Year in fact) I felt too ashamed to reach out in person and I'm grateful that there's such a kind of beautiful network of people out there. Taking those first steps is so fucking hard.

    I look back on my period of being a Drug Addict with a sense of just distance. Yeah, sometimes I was one of those girls who left with $20 because I spent $50 on house fee and $40 on blow and didn't want to hustle. I guess part of my shame was not wanting to ... be that Girl ... but sometimes I was.

    Shit.

    Thanks, everyone. And VP, you and your friend will be in my thoughts today.
