Opinions - Getting Back on Hoffman's Bike

[beatnickmanduder]

Right, this is not so much a story and search for recovery from addiction, rather, an open discussion on knowing when to get back into drugs. Around this time a year ago, Swim had a steady stream of marijuana, lsd, psilocybin, alcohol, mdma and cocaine (though that was rather sporadic) flowing into his head. Swim thought the idea of being a soul sailor was really where everything was at. Good trip friends, good drugs - good times. Of course, yin and yang kicked in and Swim went through several really hard trips including one of those when you think you're gonna die. To put this really in perspective though, Swim transfered schools over last summer, so those last few rides that kinda shook his foundations came at a time when Swim was alone a lot of the time in his dorm. Kinda depressing, but now Swim has met some cool people at his new school and began to carve his own niche. He has just been wondering if any other trippers have had similar experiences. Swim kinda feels that those lasting effects have begun to fade and his ability to get a grip on things has come back to him. If anyone has any comments and/or advice, please indulge. Gracias.
