Becoming introduction

Almost 15 years ago I began becoming; becoming free from drugs, becoming concerned with the world around me, becoming aware of the problems "normal" people faced every day. Up until that time my only concern had been where the next party was and where the next dope bag was coming from. My only "worry" in life was the cops; everything else was taken care of by dope. Methamphetamine was the thing that ruled my life, it was all I ever thought I'd need to get through life. It governed every second of my existance and I was never very far from a bag of dope and a tooter. After running myself into the gutter twice and having nothing more than a pile of junk, an old Harley, a rusted out Dodge van {that I lived in} and a pitbull dog, at 39 years old I finally decided enough was too much and walked away {drove actually} from all of it. 23oo miles later I landed in the only safe place I knew and began the process of becoming clean from meth for the first time in 25 years. It was the most difficult thing I'd done to date and probably would have never made it if it hadn't been for my ex-wife. 11 years later she'd had enough and left for greener pastures, can't say as I blame her either, recovering junkies aren't easy to deal with and I was no exception. Before she left she inspired me to put the story of my life in a book, but we couldn't even work on that together without a fight. More about the book at www.meth-monster.com; once the book was published I thought my work would be done till I started doing radio interviews and found out how little people knew about the subject and true scope of the national and international pandemic that is meth addiction. The key to overcoming any addiction is knowing the personal issues it addresses and working through that to the addiction itself. The problem with that, is most of people's issues are caused by the world around them and this has to change. Becoming refers to becoming free. The only way to become truly free is through education {knowing your enemy} and using it the best way we can. That is the goal of this blog; educating us all on who our real enemy is and how to overcome the growing tyrany of the bankers that are ruinning our lives, country and world. Stay tuned.
