A token of my infection part 6
If you have never been committed to a mental institution... well people, you don't know what you're missing. Ask insanethemind he can put you in the know.
For me, being committed wasn't forced on me there were no burly men in white uniforms hog tying me to a gurney and putting me in the back of a van I caused it. Intentionally. I had to.
I have to stop here and let you know before you read further that the following account has a positive ending. however, after close to 4 years of being drug free, recently I have replaced dope with booze. I am a success at recovery from drugs which is rare especially when the drugs are opiates. I may not be snorting and chewing oxy contins and sticking my arms with syringes full of heroin but I am drinking a pint of whiskey on ice after work. I am losing.
If there ever was a junkies paradise I lived within its borders for a short time. I had access to milk crates full of 500 count bottles of oxy contins. Obscene amounts of money flowed through my hands. If I felt like blowing 3 or 4k on coke in one night I could make it happen. I partied in hotels for weeks at a time that offered 24 hour room service and bidet's to wash it all away. With drugs and money comes lots of beautiful women, But I did not succumb to those particular availabilities. I remained devoted to my wife throughout my wicked ways. I love her .
But all good things come to an end.
The following is a partial list of how things went wrong fast.
The pharmacist got indicted on several counts one being a hybrid murder charge because some junkie overdosed on the dope he was selling him.
My "doctor" got scared because I was shaking down the pharmacist while he was vulnerable and the pharmacist told him about my extortion attempts. He would not write me anymore scripts.
Tommy went to jail for extortion.
Wayne disappeared into ghetto New Jersey.
The pharmacists dope and my shotgun protection services I provided to Tommy were my only source of income.
Anne was dead and her brother moved to Portland.
I was forced to buy 40 mg Oxy's on the street for $20 bucks per pill. My habit was up to 10 40mg oxy's per day just to prevent myself from getting dopesick. When I couldn't find oxy's I was forced to take runs to the Philly badlands for heroin. Ask rizzo about the badlands.
So I went through several different rehabs. They didn't take. In fact I would smuggle in dope to get me through the cold turkey withdrawal programs they offered.
I deteriorated to the point of getting myself committed as a last resort to get clean from drugs. One method of having our insurance pay for a trip to the nut house was to claim I was suicidal so I had my wife drive ne to the hospital one night and I told them I was sucking on my revolver. That earned me an all expense paid trip to the nut house.
The people and the bizarre situations that I encountered during my commitment are the things that butter cream birthday cake dreams are made of.

nope. not good enough mick. this installment does not do justice to the truly wonderful previous installments. i see a lot of story going on between those few lines you provided us with, and its a story you can tell well, and you SHOULD tell well.
i hope to see more.
drop me a line sometime. (though i wont be back online for about a week or so)

Judoka-
I wouldn't wish an alcoholic death on my worst enemy, even if I HAD a terrible enemy. FOR FUCKING SHAME! That really makes you sound, unsavory judoka.
Like I have never thrown a stone though, so nevermind it i suppose
Actually Mickginny I've never been to a mental institution, per se. But crisis units, yes. They are for more short term stays (up to 30 days usually) than 'nut houses.'
13 times since '96 actually.

The badlands is bad. My roommate used to run drugs and he'd get held at gunpoint once a week.
I was in the nuthouse too. It's not that fun.

Mick did your wife have any idea this was going on?
for years i was a functioning junkie. she never did drugs so she didnt know the signs. so no she was not aware.
towards the end, when my addiction became completely unmanageable she knew. however she never knew to what degree i was involved in this lifestyle.

I just typed in to what sites are similar to my website on Google.
Mick's Uber catalogue of posts came up along with some other peculiar sites.
How bizarre (do do doo do do doo...)

Okay, Mick, as enthralling as this is - and I am being sincere - can you please sort out the layout next time? I keep having to scroll over to the right handside!
Seriously though, this is captivating stuff.
