It starts with the opiates pushed by Big Pharma and the addiction that zoomed once the Chinese started pumping out Fentanyl...Then giving it to the Mexican Cartels etc etc.

Nothing we all don't know about, seen a show, read a book, have a cousin/brother/friend or even have suffered through addiction ourselves. 

Now Noodles will tell you Noodles can't stand Drug Addicts...Having seen all the people they've hurt, used, lied to etc Noodles pretty much thinks they're all pieces of shit until they clean up...Which honestly they rarely do.

But that's because I don't have an Addictive Personality...That and it drugs have never interested me except psychedelics.

I mean I can sort of understand having such a shitty life that you do drugs to forget...I can see that.

But I've also known plenty of people quite happy to stay in that state because it gives them an excuse to drink, smoke, do pot and party...It pretty much becomes a way of life and I see a lot more Frank Gallaghers nowadays:

That's what ALWAYS gets me...I see so much potential in a lot of people and I don't understand...I know...But I don't understand.

Everyone is just a small degree away from happiness or a better life...All you have to do is take a risk.

Try something new.

It may NOT work out...But if you don't make a change, get rid of the Toxic Friends and Family, move out of the area, make an effort then you'll just be another statistic.

2022 is approaching quickly...Make a move...If you hate your life make a fucking move.

Change your job, go on a diet, exercise, slow down on drinking and smoking, read, meditate...Focus on yourself.

ODs are spreading nationwide like a plague...Everywhere I go there's that hungry, drug, sad addicted face.

In the cities, rural areas, in the suburbs...All I see is this:

Don't be a dumbass change your life.
