"you can shine against all odds" but...

...there is a caveat...you must not be into drugs, (ex. crystal meth or shabu, cocaine or the cheap version of it called crack, or marijuana which is the starter of it all) you must not be in the grip of alcohol, plus the lure of the smokey tobacco...if one is in a drug binge and they add alcohol such as beer, whiskey, vodka, johnny walker, red horse or san miguels, the combination of these is devastating and life threatening for alcohol in any form enhances the effects of these drugs to the roof plus it will also make one not fully in charge of their faculties or can't think straight as they will be stoned. you wonder why so many young adults are into drugs, maybe because of peer pressures and the desire to experiment or as a means to escape life but sadly they really do not fully comprehend the dire consequences of this illicit drug use and also the use of some prescription ones. once you're hooked it is like a prison cell. you did the deeds and you suffer the consequences plus causing heart aches for your families. i am a nurse so i am very familiar to such lives lived by drug addicts. they tend and try to be normal and live normally but you could always tell...one day their secrets will be out and i will just say to myself, you're right, very right...this reminds me of a great actress and a singer that i like. rumored to be in this habit which is probably so...and somebody else...just sad...now how would you offer help to these individuals? first they needed to be made aware that there is help out there, rehab but in the true sense of that word and they need to take charge of their own recovery first hand. they need to realize that drugs and alcohol plus tobacco is or are the devil in disguise, the demon that is dressed up as a pleasant helper of making them cope with whatever nerves they think they can't control. but sadly the usage of such is the start of a spiral to the great abyss of a life that is dark and destined to fail at the end, just watch...although it can be stopped and the solution is per the former first lady, mrs. reagan's slogan then in her efforts to fight drug abuse here in the U.S. is..."JUST SAY NO TO DRUGS" plus saying no to etoh aka alcohol and tobacco use as well...life lived free of these is life lived longer, happier and in you totally in control of your life and your destiny, good luck :)  ...maybe now i can stay away from blogging for awhile, maybe, (^&*)...
