...Past Revisited..Harold 1 Streets 0!!!

..well in a good store in a normal part of the neighborhood I ran into my main crack dealer with one of my smoking buddies taggin behind him. They say make a geographical change but it really doesn't matter..life shows up and when i turned and saw him i was not surprised..anxious or nervous about the encounter I knew i was about to have. I was asked to come by..he had something for me in the same sentence he complimented me on how well i was looking because see..drug dealers don't really want to let you go..and for a split second the contemplation of what if????..occurred but someone in this fellowship sent me some information about just how long a feeling lasts..seconds..so i squared up and told him no..not with arrogance or indifference as if i was some new transformed individual but simply no..and for the first time at any point in my 25 year bout with this disease was I more sure of my no than i have ever been..and i noticed when i looked him dead in his eyes he realized it was a non-starter with me and wished me well and walked off...tomorrow is just 2 weeks clean but i feel like its been a year trying to get here and just so much father to go but i feel like ive gotten something from this fellowship and im grateful...

So proud of you. Nobody want\'s to be addicted to crack and I can think back of all the stupid things I did on it. It\'s a blessing I am still alive. I\'m happy to hear he thinks you are looking better. Everyone want\'s to be clean. Keep up the good work and keep thinking the way you are. You are doing great.
