January 23rd, 2009
I didn’t want to go to a meeting last night but I ended up going anyway. I saw Tim there; he’s got 23 days clean. Apparently Anderson is getting everyone to shoot up. He and Tim started slamming together. No one talks to Stoop anymore, he’s robbed too many people… no one fucks with him at all. Last Tim heard, his dad was buying drugs for him, trying to keep him under control.
Britney came over last night, I was half expecting to fuck but we just chilled and watched Billy Madison. She’s cool, I really like her a lot.
Anderson is going to a Methadone clinic, that’s just as bad as shooting dope. It’s so sad seeing people on methadone and suboxone. Crazy how that used to be my dream.
I remember the first time I did methadone, I was laying in bed dope sick as fuck on a school night. I would sit in my bathtub in warm water and when that got annoying, I’d run to my bed wrapped up in towels with the fan on full blast, trying to counteract the cold sweats. Shivering and half crying, running to the toilet to shit, going through my phone trying to find drugs. I finally got a hold of Amir and he said he had methadone. It was only $20 and that’s all I had. He was 40 minutes north of me at his college dorm in Boca Raton. I couldn’t think of anything else, so I said fuck it, took the keys to my dad’s truck and drove there. When I got there, it was about 3am. Amir opened the door shirtless, his little gold chain, slicked back hair, pale skin. Amir is Turkish. We had known each other since we were kids. He came from money but he didn’t act like it. He was probably just as fucked up as me, he had taught me everything I knew about drugs when I was younger. We would make gravity bongs at my house and smoke bud at the park, sell weed, go to parties, take turns fucking girls. He’s four years older.
He opened the door half asleep, he looked at me, “Damn nigga, you drove far as fuck. Who’s truck is that?” I rush inside…
“It’s my dad’s,” I tell him.
“Damn, that nigga didn’t hold back, huh? That shit’s nice as fuck.. yo, check out my place, so many bitches here, bro, my bitch just left, she was sucking my dick for like 2 hours, haha, but I couldn’t nut cause I was on pills and I just made her feel like it was cause she wasn’t doing it right. That bitch is dumb as fuck. I made her feel so bad, I kept saying, ‘Bitch you can’t even make me cum’ hahaha.”
“That’s crazy, so what's up with the shit?”
“Ohh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I got you.”
He pulls out this thick weird round orange pill that’s split into four — way bigger than any pill I’ve ever seen. I looked at Amir skeptically.
“Is this shit gonna work? What the fuck is this?”
“Yeah dawg, it’s METHADONE… it’s a wafer, you mix it with OJ.”
He takes me into his kitchen, crushes up the wafer on the counter, swipes it into an empty glass, pours some orange juice in it, then stirs and hands it to me. Didn’t taste half bad. We smoke a cigarette outside.
Amir pulls out a piece and asks if I want to smoke weed.
I decline, “Nah man, I don’t smoke.”
“Oh yeah, why nigga? Smoking helps with the withdrawals.”
I shake my head…
“I just don’t like that shit, but ight, I gotta ride. I got school in like two hours.”
We give each other daps.
“Haha, oh yeah, HIGH SCHOOL, I always forget how young you are. Be careful driving little nigga.”
I drive home, feeling okay. I closed my eyes for a second. God, I hope this shit works.
A few hours later I get dressed and go to school, put my iPod on and I was feeling fucking awesome, not only was I not dope sick, but I was feeling nice, huge smile on my face, skipping to class. I remember sitting down in the courtyard outside, the sun on my face, eating a pizza with some hot sauce, looking up at the sky and I thought, “you’re going to be okay, you’re gonna be okay.” I figured if methadone felt like this, then when I turn 18 I can get my own script and be on it for the rest of my life.
That was my dream... to be on methadone for the rest of my life.
I was a sophomore in high school.
