WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A MAN? It was a terrible feeling,
addiction. The pull was so strong. The feeling, so sublime. I tried
to resist it but I knew that it had the best of me. I was its
slave. At first I was just doing it once a weekend, but then I
started doing it twice per weekend, and then I started doing it
every other day, and pretty soon I was doing it every day. I would
tell myself, "I'm never going to do this again, this is the last
time," but then I'd find myself scoring from some dealer, sneaking
into some back alley, squatting down and shooting that amazing
elixir into my arm. I had lost complete control of myself. There
was an impulsive urge within me that I could not resist. I would
try to fight it but then all of a sudden, in a rush, I'd just give
into it. In an impulse, I'd rush into the garage, get on my bike,
then ride furiously across town into the ghetto, to the places
where I knew I could score. Things stopped mattering. I'd stopped
going to school. At the end of it all, I'd even stopped going home.
I was on the streets, destitute, driven by one thing and one thing
only: my next fix. It was better than sex, better than
masturbating, better than anything I'd ever experienced. It was
pure bliss, the greatest feeling of peace and contentment. When I
was high, I was completely at ease and without a single concern in
the world: all of that from a little vile of that magic clear
fluid. Vile - it was vile, all right. To pay for it all, I started
doing crime, and that's how it all came to an end, the life I'd
been living. That's how my new life began. That's how I met my
uncle. That's how I learned the greatest lessons that life has to
offer: how to find true peace for my body, my mind, and my spirit.
