Ohyep.

Oh right - you can draw things.

No, just watching Murphy. Jer can relate 100%.

Mississippi Murphy (Eshu Grump): Nodding That's what I want to believe..what I keep tellin' myself. But ya know, Addiction is an exceptionally insidious beast. There was times when she woulda cut out my eyeballs and fed them to the dog if that's what it would take to get out of detoxing. looking over to his guitar case, opening it

Jeff knows ALL about it. Too bad he isn't there to kvetch with him.

😞 Yeah. Jeff was TOTALLY addicted for like a week, but he quit.

He knows JUST how they feel./

And he has no idea what all Z is dealing with right now

HAH

not addiction, but...

Jeff knows addiction, living with an addict.

It's been hell for them both.

They can't move to Tasmania because of it.

He spent 6 months weaning Jer down, and there was a lot of shaking next to the toilet, puking and crying to get the dosage right.

And then after one fight, it was all for nothing.

Kel is addicted to cigarettes, and it's not NEARLY as bad.

His willpower is pretty intense.

Yeah.

I really want badly to buy off Jer's Opiate addiction, but so far, it hasn't happened ICly and after the last two withdrawals, I think Jer would rather die.

Literally. Given the option of withdrawals and a bullet in the brain.

Yeah. Jeff realized that, so he's just... well.

Trying to spread out the use.

He was willing to give Jeff the Methadone back. And try again. But then the Varich happened, and he needs them now.

He takes enough morphine and codeine to kill 4 opiate-naive people.

oof

So now it's just a matter of cutting back. Not taking them away entirely. Distraction.

Probably not the best time, while he's rehabbing.

Addicts don't make their own endorphins anymore, so pain is amplified when it's taken away and causes a deep depression.

I mean, just distracting him so he doesn't take it DAILY.

Ah. Eventually?

He's not looking to cut him off. He's looking to wean him down a bit.

no wonder he has such a low wits, though

Yeah.

Part of it, probably.

Made his WP roll

Jupiter would like to know what y'all are doing.

Nothing? Ooookay then.

Kitty!

cooking

Well not cooking kitties. Of course. Steaks. -nod- Cause that is what a normal person does at almost midnight.

Midnight Steak is the best.
