I do heroin, open Ableton, pick up my Martin and get lost in the infinite world of modern music creation.
If that was a joke, it is in very poor taste.
If that was not a joke, I hope you get help.
Edit: I guess as a disclaimer, seeing as I'm being downvoted too, I should mention I was addicted to opiates for many years
he said, nope - they can only help themselves.
she OD'd and died. that sucked.
however, unrelated to the sad story of ex's friend...
we are pranksters (our dads owned two competing companies and forbade us from being friends, thus we became good friends)
I took a pic of a sign from Alameda, Ca along Clement street...
The sign said:
"Tracks no longer in service"
(I SENT THIS BEFORE THE FRIEND STORY HAPPENED, just FYI)
A sign of heroin use is "tracks" (needle puncture marks on ones arrm or body where they mainlined heroin injections)
So I sent him the pic of the sign as an acknowledgement that he succeeded in kicking the habit of heroin use...

A band we listened to growing up, Skinny Puppy, their lead singer Ogre, wasa heroin addict... he kicked the habit, and when my friend got married, Skinny Puppy played at their wedding.
My buddy actually works for another band person we grew up listening to, from Ministry....
2. Going through a harrowing experience usually toughens one up to the causing elements, sure. Being tough about X doesn't mean you should see every reference to X as a joke; quite the opposite, in fact.
