You know what? I wanted to post it as a warning about the dangers of drug and alcohol abuse. I have been drinking tonight, otherwise I wouildn't have posted it. Alcohol removes inhibitions, like your ability to keep things private. Fuckit, here goes:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So the thread is now talking about rock bottom. I think I still have a way to go yet because I still have a roof over my head. For now.

I got invovled with a very bad crowd of people. Long story short, I tried to beat alcoholism but stressful circumstances made me tempted. I found out about a local guy who was growing weed so I tried that instead. It was not a good idea because when the supply dried up I went back to alcohol.

Weed is illegal here and the biggest dealers are criminal gangs who deal in everything, they maybe even buy and sell people.

My weed dealing friend got in too deep. He has ripped off dangerous people. A few days ago a van pulled up outside my home and two guys came out of it looking for him. He was hiding in the bathroom. I told them he wasn't there. When I walked back into the living room one of them had his arm through the window and was pulling the curtain back. He spotted my friend and immediately rushed to the door. I got there first and closed the deadbolt.

Several days later two other guys came. My door was unlocked and they just walked in. They were masked and armed. I'm not sure what they were armed with but it was thicker and heavier than a brush shaft but not as thick/heavy as a baseball bat.

"Where is the boy? He owes us money."
"He's not here." - that was all I could say before I was whacked in the face twice or maybe three times. It was all a blur. I shoved them out and bolted the door again.

It's true, he was not there but my almost 70 year old aunt and sister had come to visit and were sitting in the kitchen. I dread to think what could have happened to them if I wasn't there.

My weed dealing former friend couldn't stop with weed. He was selling pills next, things I've never heard of like pregabalin and lyrica. He started dabbling with crystal meth and selling it. He even had me snorting meth for a while. I let him and his girlfriend stay with me for a month. I sheltered him when even his own brother and father wouldn't - they had armed men appearing at their homes looking for him too. I have since learned that he may have informed people he was staying at my place again to try and give the slip to the people looking for him.

All this has given me a lot to think about. What sort of 'friend' would let someone with a history of substance abuse try crystal meth? All the warning signs were there, people tried to tell me and I didn't listen. I'm not the first person he has done this to. The last guy who sheltered him had pipe bombs left outside his house.

I figured my downward spiral was only hurting myself. Bystanders could be getting hurt too.

I remember him showing up here so drunk he was barely fit to stand, with his screaming girlfriend and her meth addicted schizophrenic friend in tow. I took him to the spare room to try and get him to sleep. He was crying, put his head on my lap and told me I was his only friend.

Yeah, I was.

I never want to see him again.

It was supposed to be my warning about how cannabis is dangerous because of what it can lead you into. I know most people on these forums are all 'Yay, weed is legal now!!!'. So is alcohol but some people are just using mind altering substances to escape. You can overindulge in anything too much. Especially if you are using it too escape from reality.

I grew up in a bar and liqour store run by a by my dry drunk physically abusive dad.

I don't want to say any more.

If you can drink 2 glasses of wine and forget about it for week, fine. If you find yourself opening a bottle and drinking it in the space of an hour and go looking for more? - stay the gently caress away from any recreational substances.

My guy, shouldn't apologize for reaching out for a human connection. These dead forums may not have your solution, but at least we can listen. Maybe someone here is nearby and might help, maybe you just get roasted, maybe you just get to vent, but heavy poo poo always takes precedent over light poo poo. Worrying about imposing negativity will just keep you from seeking help.

Also, you gotta lose that "friend." Friends don't send armed drug dealers to their friend's house. May not be melee weapons next time.
