Perils of Crystal Meth

[cany10011]

I should have continued the post (see, Ask an Escort, sugar daddy vs regular in response to TygerScent) that was already started but I think this topic merits a separate discussion.

 

9 years ago, I had met a very nice hot lawyer that developed into an intense friendship/hookup situation. He was a successful, smart, beautiful blonde jock boy with a pedigreed education. After 3 years of pseudo dating, he started to behave bizarrely: not keeping appointments, not answering phone calls or messages, asking me for help with rent, etc.. When we had trips together, he would show up late at the airport missing the flight and having to rebook. When we made a date for a restaurant meal, I would sometimes end up eating alone. When we went to concerts, he would be busy texting his drug dealers and leaving earlier. At the time, I didn’t know he was on crystal. I believed what he wanted me to believe in: busy working, GI upset, family emergency, etc...

 

Blindly, during his bizarre phase, I had helped him by paying rent for his apartment in the west village, along with his expenses: bills, vet fees, etc.. he even had access to my freshdirect account and credit card. I don’t know what I was thinking. I thought I was helping out a good friend.

 

When he finally opened up to me saying that he was blowing his entire paycheck on crystal, lost his job, and was turning “tricks” for money (aka rentboy), I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. Sadly, he also contracted HIV. I felt sad, betrayed and deceived for trusting in him. I contacted a few friends of mine who are psychiatrists and they recommended some excellent substance abuse centers. I even called some experts to help me in choosing a good detox program. I made the arrangements for him but he never showed up. This story doesn't have a good ending and I won’t bore the lurkers/posters/readers on the board with it however, suffice to say, he is no longer part of my life. My friend had a very promising life and career ahead of him and now, he's living the life of the someone without any prospects (unless he's found someone in the gay mafia to take care of him) in a dark cold basement somewhere in nyc.

 

The life lesson i gleaned from this is to believe in your instincts, don't listen to honeyed words from cute boys wanting $ from you, and although some people like to play/take drugs don't let the drugs take you.

Thanks for sharing...a very sad story..which occurs all too often. Yout instinct to want to help your friend was laudable and something I think you needed to go through....sadly, with many things in life, each person has to want to change and needs to come to their own low point to turn around...

I lost friends because of drugs. It's unfortunate and sad. There is nothing you can do and watch them perish. Don't do drugs.

My brother is a doctor and he said that with crystal, all it takes is ofter just ONE time and the person

is hooked. Scary !!!!!

It's disturbing to watch. There are several gay events I simply avoid completely due to the heavy meth, special K and X use. You can't kiss anyone without getting their "bump", (as in dose), on your lips from theirs or from their tongue. I've seen way too many tragedies. I'm definitely a 'No PNP" kind of guy. Im fine with an adult frosty vodka, wine, sake beverage but have no interest in anything beyond that.

Yeah, crystal use is pernicious and prevalent in the gay community. So many potentially great lives wasted. Very sad.

For so long, crystal meth built this reputation as being glamorous and fun. Anyone who's edgy was doing meth, and if you weren't, you weren't cool - you weren't part of the 'in' crowd. But, that is bullshit! There is no such thing as recreational use of crystal meth. People hooked on it cannot limit their use voluntarily. That's why we all need to speak out to our gay brethren against partying with crystal, no matter how unpopular we think our opinion is gonna be. When you tell someone that it's uncool to do crystal you're not being some judgmental, anti-drug zealot, you're being a friend.
