The Intervention
Chapter One of my upcoming Memoir
It’s the awesome and awful part of drugs at the same time. Expansion then contraction. The cruelty of it. At first, it’s everything. Booze gives you courage. Gives you...fearlessness. Drugs expand your mind in ways that won’t ever happen organically. Mushrooms, coke, LSD, peyote, weed. They all thrill and scare the shit out of you at the same time. You see things. Possibilities. Angles. Challenges. Solutions.
For normal people, that’s maybe where it stops? I wouldn’t know. Because I didn’t stop. I couldn’t.
In the middle of it, a tipping point occurs. Like a rocket shot vertically into the air that tops out and turns over and starts down, accelerating, closing in on the ground, eliminating all possibilities except for the coming crash. Shutting down. Going too fast to see. Still accelerating. Oh fuck, this is gonna leave a mark.
