Anyone who follows me tonight where the skies are blue, I will follow you back -- and make sure we can all find one another.
I am continuing the fight here -- but an escape pod is always a good idea.
RT and help me spread the word?

I’m 850 days sober today. Some days have been great, some days have sucked. But every one of these 850 days has been better than the 850+ before that 😊💚

I admitted myself to the emergency room for a trauma still affecting me today. After the specialist worked on me a while, surgery was deemed necessary. This had two effects on my life: first, the trauma became a life long struggle and for six years I became one of many Americans dependent on pain medication. Some of you reading may think I wear a scarlet letter diminishing my value and worth as a human being. I understand, anyone that doesn’t experience opiate addiction can’t possibly empathize completely, if you haven’t, please be grateful being spared.
This affliction, some look upon with severe judgement, is capable of rendering all similar fates. It’s a non discriminatory employer: all genders, ages, racial groups and socioeconomic backgrounds are potential victims. I was a good boy, raised well by loving parents. I had friends, hobbies, romantic and athletic pursuits. I was kind, considerate and caring. None of it mattered under the spell of pills rendering me helpless, hopeless, and haunted after six years of use.
What I’m leaving out are reasons I wanted escape during that time (fall of 05): I felt lonely and anxious about my future and a pill made it disappear for duration of its effect. As time progressed, I needed more to keep those feelings at bay, including symptoms of physical and psychological withdrawal: a hell I don’t wish on my worst enemy. I’m fortunate telling this story while others became casualties.
Like any bad habit, it took time to cement into daily life. When it did I became a functioning addict. I attended college (making deans list most semesters), and worked in food and beverage. But I became more and more concerned with acquiring the drugs to maintain functionality and feel the effects.
I’ve cognitively distanced myself from the experience by viewing it as when I treated my body like a chemistry set. When first taking them I would usually throw up but it didn’t bother me because of disconnection from body. As my addiction progressed, I’d combat constipation with stimulant laxatives. My endocrine system shut down resulting in various problems including inability to build muscle mass.
I can’t overstate the horror of physical withdrawals. If you want minutes to feel like hours, hours feel like days, this is how. Suddenly constipation becomes the extreme opposite. Your feet and head are heavy and the only thought is getting more to feel ok. Fortunately I never stole to support my habit, but it doesn’t diminish being controlled and hurting my ability to live normally.
After so many experiences of going through withdrawals, and devastating realization of money wasted, I finally had enough. I went to a doctor and was prescribed Suboxone which weans people off opiates. I was ready for change and desired freedom from the rat pellet existence I lived. In 2013 I took my last suboxone and haven’t touched it since.
Although one time in 2015, I almost relapsed. It was February and an awful cold brought me to my primary physician. He didn’t know about my problems with opiates and prescribed liquid codeine. I began taking it and felt the familiar rush. The last day was a Saturday, I looked up at the sky and a ray of sunlight hit me and I knew I was going to be ok. I haven’t touched an opiate since.
Thank you for reading friends, always be kind and appreciate you always! -NR

@NancySinatra Absolutely one of my favorite songs! It always makes me feel happy 💕 and now I know why

“Sugar Town” isn’t one of my favorites of my records, but it hit the top 5 and became one of my biggest hits. Putting together an album around it proved to be quite the challenge. “Sugar Town” was basically LSD, but wasn’t publicized as such. It was Lee’s “Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds.” The song went against my image, which made it tough to choose songs for the same collection. In the end we decided to go with Dixieland Jazz standards standards and called the album Sugar.
My friend, Ron Joy, shot the cover photo. I thought wearing a bikini by the beach was kind of commonplace, but a bikini in ugly weeds, a little kookie. I wanted something that was different because I knew the idea of a bikini on an album cover would be shocking in the first place. A screen was placed over the photo because it was way too graphic for the day. It was pretty much the first of its kind and the label was afraid of it. The bikini is tame by today’s standards, but when the album came out it was quite provocative. In fact, it was banned in Boston!
A newly remastered Sugar joins @lightintheattic’s Nancy Sinatra Archival Series on November 29.
