A couple of days ago, I wrote about my experiences with mushrooms.
For a few months during my college days (~1975) I sniffed aerosols.
I am not proud of this, but I can't change the past.
I would get a spray can of Bactine First Aid spray (not sure if they still make this product). Then it was just a matter of spraying some into a plastic baggie and puting the baggie to my face, covering the nose and inhaling. The high was immediate and lasted only a few seconds. So,of course, it had to be done several times.
This was always done in conjunction with drinking beer and smoking a few bong hits.
I still find it absolutely amazing that I ever graduated.
todAAy i AAm grAAteful & thAAnkful
that I am very protective of the few brain cells remaining above my neck
for an easy-does-it Monday, my first day to really relax in about 10 days
for a very powerful AA meeting this morning at 6:30 in which a good friend shared about real, tangible growth he experienced yesterday as a result of 1) not giving in to the obsession he felt to reward himself wih a drink 2) getting to a meeting / working the program
that we have a good lineup of contestants for this weekend's Lambda fundraiser - The Gaylywed Game
that I can pay my bills, especially Bill W.
that I was in someone's dream -- in this dream, I was leading an AA meeting -- LOL
that I got my 50,000th blog-hit yesterday - it took about 18 months to achieve

I remember the first time I tried Coke. I was NEVER going to do that, that was for addicts and junkies... I remember my dad telling me the Pot was a "gateway drug." Whatever dad... have another manahattan! Well, it seems to me that I was stoned when I first tried Coke, I was stoned when I started buying Crack from some very unsavory strangers on the street corners of Houston. I was stoned when I first tripped on 4 hits of acid, I was stoned when I first dropped X...
I did a lot of stuff I would "never do" under the influence of drugs and alcohol. It's stuff I am not proud of but it's part of who I am today and it got me where I am today. So, in that regard, I am grateful.
Congrats on the Mega Blog Hits!!!
If I know anything about you, it's that you have LOTS of functioning brain cells. Your advice and insight is astounding.
And thank you for the Bactine, Beer & Bong recipe. Sounds delicious. (Yuck... you KNOW I'm kidding about that!)
Guess I will be the one to spill the beans, Dave has ghost writers!
Giggling at the Bactine First Aid spray. I got carded buying spray paint in Home Depot the other day. Things have not changed much I guess.
G~
OMG, anything we will do (or in this case did) to get ourselves out of ourselves in a non-spiritual way.
Congrats on the blog hits!
I thought you got a cat when I saw the title. I inhaled anything.
dAAve, "gaylyweds"? Boy I have to see that..AnywAAy, I hope you have a grand time and get some rest in between....
How do you get so many hits? I am happy because I am only a few thousand away from ten thousand. sheesh.
My fave was Pam and Arid Extra Dry. Don't know what I was thinking, but I huffed mass quantities of both. Can't believe I am even alive let alone functioning at all.
I had a bad scrape on the back of my leg not long ago -- you know, a hard to reach place requiring a spray. I tried to buy Bactine at Wal-Mart, and I couldn't find it. It may still exist, but I'd say it's not a good sign when The Great Store of Satan doesn't have it.
And I am # 50,178 & 50,179 because my memory stinks and I forgot the number and had to go back and look again.
I see you,
JJ
