In the eighties I went to a party where there was cocaine. I was invited to try some. But I had been lectured my whole life on the evils of alcohol because of an alcoholic mother. And I knew how easily and how strongly I became hooked on cigarettes. So cocaine scared me. I felt I would be an addict after one dose. <BR/><BR/>I will continue reading tomorrow. It is very late here.<BR/><BR/>You are a brave man.Andreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08159511912645034019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8092261346236962635.post-28027191603935052142007-06-28T19:27:00.000+01:002007-06-28T19:27:00.000+01:00I look forward to hearing these mysterious things,...I look forward to hearing these mysterious things, Debs.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8092261346236962635.post-77662663803014664462007-06-27T16:39:00.000+01:002007-06-27T16:39:00.000+01:00holy moly gled...I've missed some great stuff here...holy moly gled...I've missed some great stuff here.

And theres a big market for confessional lit. There is a book called the Writers Directory 2007 which would help you. You might get it from your local library. You know your rehab could be part of your book! Also when you're clean you could get some income in being a drugs expert and be paid to talk to young people about it all to dissuade them from starting stuff. Just afew ideas. Oh and i did a degree in English and read all sorts of stuff. Theres a bit of magic in your style Gledwood so don't stop writing whatever!<BR/><BR/>all the best<BR/>sad xThe onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00277822928900774623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8092261346236962635.post-44967445412311931202007-06-27T14:43:00.000+01:002007-06-27T14:43:00.000+01:00Perhaps, Gleds to its full potential, but its ther...Perhaps, Gleds to its full potential, but its there and it belongs with you, that gift, right now, alive and well in spite of the addiction.

Your writing could do more to dissuade people from taking "drugs" [I use the term loosely because of course alcohol and other "legal" substances are also drugs] than anything else I have read - and, as a child of the 60s, I have read, and seen, a lot! You pull no punches - you say it was good where it was good - and I admire you, Gledwood.Welshcakes Limoncellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209759237794290941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8092261346236962635.post-65483071414816969512007-06-26T22:39:00.000+01:002007-06-26T22:39:00.000+01:00You are incredibly honest and you have real talent...You are incredibly honest and you have real talent for making people understand how things were for you.
