If you'll allow to quibble, however, I can't quite agree with the no-regrets sentiment often expressed in this thread. I think it's hugely misguided to say that you don't regret having done something because it made you who are today; it implies not only that your time couldn't have been better spent, but that you couldn't possibly be a better person. Of course, it's only healthy to like yourself, but this takes it too far. Just because I learned a thing or two during the five years I spent of drugs doesn't mean I couldn't have learned a lot more doing something else -- something that didn't involve hurting a lot of people, including myself. Hell, I could have learned how to cook! Thanks to everybody for the warm comments — and to Robin for the wonderful life we now share.

I don't even like hearing MYSELF chewing. it's why I hate eating cereal. I too have done many a drug, though not the ones you refer to. but I don't regret it in the least, to be honest. I just look back and think I wouldn't give up those experiences for anything, and I obviously don't have to explain to you why. and also, ummm, jimmy's really cute. ;P awww robin you gave me a shout out! *upper lip trembling* seriously, you’re the best and a blogger I admire, so thanks. :)

He was only recovered for 6 months when we started dating, but I've only known him as I know him now. It's still hard for me to believe he was that same person. And yes, I agree with you on the large metal bat! My husband is a recovered heroine addict, so I kind of know what you are talking about.

It isn't easy dealing with all of what someone else has in their lunch pail. It wasn't but just about 3 years ago that I was sitting in a stall in a club/bar/gas station with the Bolivian marching powder looking for an edge to, I dunno what. I could talk to my dealer for hours though. I couls have talked to most anyone for hours. I feel ya, 100%. What's in the past, is indeed, in the past. Sometimes, us "men folk" wake up and smell, LIFE. Keep your passion, keep your drive, and keep us reading. And above all, I wish you the very best! Thanks for sharing!
