This is so sad.  Alcohol is the drug of choice for most pilots.  I have always been afraid of trying coke because I assumed that I would love it.  Perhaps the same could be said of meth.

Knowing you somewhat personally, I think you would find the effects of meth, and the other opioids, very unpleasant and annoying (as I also strongly do). That of course is not a moralistic thing, just a psychophysiological one.

Believe me, I have tried them all.

Coke though as a stimulant might be a very different story. I for a time found it very — too — attractive, before managing to cut it off.

(As it were. ^_^ )

I am sure that Meth would make me its bitch in a new york minute, so I have stayed well away.

I'm not sure we're not talking about it though, because this topic is hardly new. It's been a scourge on our community for a long time now.

I have long written about the effects of addiction on life. Sex addiction in escorting is also a serious issue. I am extremely grateful the addiction gene is dormant within me, however, its tentacles constantly pick at my nerves.

There was a time in my life when I did certain recreational drugs, but I always had limits and no-go's; meth, crack, and heroin being among the no-go's. I've never been interested in changing the chemical composition of my brain cells.

Then things changed. I grew up. I no longer had any interest in non-organic highs, and I ended all contact with user friends. I don't have any drug users near me now, and I have the ability to spot a chronic user a mile away.

The gay author of this article speaks of "struggle with acceptance in ways straight men don’t have to." I can't relate to that because I haven't endured any acceptance struggle.

Yes, there were certain members of my family who struggled more than I did with the news of my coming out, but I always felt that was their struggle. Not mine. Once I crossed the line of publicly stating that I was gay, there was no stopping me from accomplishing my goals, which had nothing to do with being gay. I felt lucky to possess talent, courage, and confidence in the face of normal insecurities that everyone experiences.

I have come to learn that many gay men are lost. Some are so far down the rabbit hole, they can never be saved. The fight lives on.
