When I was getting high everybody loved cocaine. Many years and drugs later the cool kids get high on heroin. Here’s a few women you might know who got high and got sober.
Angelina Jolie told 60 Minutes TV Show in 2011, “’I took just every drug possible – coke, ecstacy, heroin, everything,’ In 1996, Angelina told the UK’s Mirror: “I have done just about every drug possible: cocaine, ecstasy, LSD and, my favorite, heroin.”
Nicole Richie on CNN in 2005 stated, “By 18 I had stopped using cocaine and that’s when I got — got into pills a little bit and then — and then I got into heroin.”
Rock star P!nk “I overdosed in ’95, and then I never took drugs again, ever.” “Heroin is a horrible thing. I’ve seen first hand what it can do to people and it’s not pretty. I was never that much into it to need treatment. “But you name it, I took it. I buried three friends from heroin overdoses.She recently told Britain’s The New Review (speaking about her daughter), “No, she (is) never gonna f**king touch heroin. I’m gonna make sure of it. And if she wants to f**king hate me for it, that’s fine.”
Tatum O’Neil describes her heroin use in her memoir, Found: “I had started craving [heroin] psychologically, longing to sink into oblivion. Then without it, I began to experience frighteningly dark depressions, with fierce anger as their flip side.”

Who would have guessed the album “Closing Time” was written by an alcoholic. Tom Waits has accepted his powerlessness over alcohol and hasn’t had a drink in over 20 years.
A friend who has recently changed jobs shared how the insecurity that came with the new position made her fat, stupid and ugly.
Now that is definitely insanity if I heard it.
Came to believe a power greater than myself
Our ego’s tell us we are what we do, we are what we have and we are what others think of me. Our spirit knows we are perfect, exactly as we are meant to be at this moment in time. To get away from the man-made thinking and align ourselves with the all is the solution.
Step 12 – Service to Others
Find a way to give of yourself however small.
25 smiles at strangers
Buy a family size packet of snacks, peanut butter crackers, chocolate covered raisins, chewy vitamin C snacks…. something with nutrition and give one to every street-corner panhandler.
Sneak a dollar under a strangers windshield wiper.
Buy the guy behind you coffee
To me the real kicker is NOT to tell anybody what you’ve done. Break the “I am what others think about me” binding of the ego. I think you will be shocked how strong the pull is to brag how altruistic you are.
“When we retire at night, we constructively review our day. Were we resentful, selfish, dishonest or afraid? Do we owe an apology? Have we kept something to ourselves which should be discussed with another person at once? Were we kind and loving toward all? What could we have done better? Were we thinking of ourselves most of the time? Or were we thinking of what we could do for others, of what we could pack into the stream oflife? But we must be careful not to drift into worry, remorse or morbid reflection, for that would diminish our usefulness to others. After making our review we ask God’s forgiveness and inquire what corrective measures should be taken.”
My Creator, I am now willing that you should have all of me, good & bad. I pray that you now remove from me every single defect of character which stands in the way of my usefulness to you & my fellows. Grant me strength, as I go out from here to do Your bidding.
