Nope… Are you a little story about how I ended up quitting doing drugs… It happened several months before the bitch at Dunkin Donuts tried to steal my phone and broke the screen in the process…
24 years ago, I was doing murals for a client who owned a chain of computer repair stores. There was an employee who worked for my client named Thomas O'Keefe.
I was married to Anti back then, and we both thought Thomas was really cool. It was funny, and he was super super smart. Unlike most people, Thomas understood dark humor and had the ability to read between the lines…
I could joke around with Thomas and make ethereal comments, and he understood exactly what I was talking about, always getting the joke, and being right on point regarding a humorous come back, or developing a double entendre as a secondary punchline…
Thomas and I used to get high as shit together all the time, tweaking, doing opiates, whatever. (anything but cocaine) This misbehavior continued for years. A few years ago, Thomas was over at our house getting high with Wendy and I, and he started talking about his two daughters who had become estranged from him because of his drug-addicted behavior..
That night, Thomas got really quiet, and he told us, "that's it! I've had it! I'm done with this! I'm quitting."
Wendy and I thought he was just venting, never thinking Thomas would be able to demonstrate the willpower necessary to quit getting high at the level we were all doing…
Guess what ?… HE DID IT…
As months began to go past, I was absolutely amazed that Thomas had somehow managed to grab the bull by the horns and self-destructing.
His daughters were so proud of him, that day brought him back into the circle and he was able to reunite with his family. He became incredibly happy and fulfilled.
I was inspired by Thomas.
In fact, he's the reason why I decided I was also going to quit. I started going to Narcotics Anonymous meetings with Thomas, and I am proud to say that I was also able to demonstrate The Willpower necessary two completely cessate my drug usage…
Tuesday, May 8th 2018, and I am texting Thomas, waiting for him to return my text messages and give me an answer how about a meeting we were supposed to go to together. Thomas did not text back, and I was actually irritated at him for not responding…
Little did I realize Thomas had died of a heart attack about an hour earlier.
Thomas O'Keefe was an exceptional man, and I know his daughters are going to miss him terribly. He was an inspiration to a lot of people involved in the recovery movement, and he was continually being asked to sponsor people, because everybody looked up to Thomas….
Court-ordered?…. Lol
No courtroom could possibly inspire me to quit the way Thomas O'Keefe did when I saw him get his life together…
Fuck now. When I was arrested I had already been off drugs for several months…
