: This is how remember Tony Curtis – To a Tee

I had heard Tony Curtis was recovering when I was still partying hard — and then he came into Bar One with two gorgeous blondes on his arm one night. We partied together for a bit, but what was kind of funny, as I had never met him before that, Jamie Lee was the first girl I ever held hands with –for two hours straight. … Read More

Don’t Die Crying — When the moment arrives, how will YOU feel?

Michael Jackson: Addiction Killed Him, and He Knew He Was Close to Death

Tom Rees — Fri, 11 Feb 2011 19:13:33 +0000

Personally, I am sick and damned tired of hearing about how Michael Jackson’s doctor killed him. There is a really good reason why the charges against Dr. Conrad written about today on April 5th (link below) are manslaughter — NOT homicide charges. The prosecution would LOSE a murder trial!

: Suboxone is a tiny pill

You read this headline right. Your brain makes actual opiates that are almost identical to the pills and synthetic opiates made by the drug manufacturers. The syndrome in your brain — if you are LACKING in these natural opiates, would then produce a significant, prolonged, stubborn, unbroken depression that you’d get pretty tired of fast.It is called endogenous opioid deficiency. I have just finished reading about 100 posts from … Read More

A Brilliant Writer Describes Depression in Such a Way it is a “Must Read”.

Tom Rees — Wed, 02 Feb 2011 09:05:04 +0000

I just read several of the most inspiring posts by another writer yet since having been introduced to this whole blogging thing. The blog is called “Drunk in Cardiff”, authored by “The Drinker”, and subtitled “The long walk to recovery from alcoholism and depression”. Just the subtitle makes one who has been through this whole journey want to jump on his work, I believe. So at the risk of losing the 3 people who may … Read More
