This is a song that has special meaning to me. I'm not sure which drug they're talking about I think either coke or heroin, and I'm an opiate user, but I think it really applies to all drugs/alcohol. MASTER OF PUPPETS by Metallica End of passion play, crumbling away I'm your source of self-destruction Veins that pump with fear, sucking dark is clear Leading on your deaths construction Taste me you will see More is all you need Dedicated to How I'm killing you Come crawling faster Obey your Master Your life burns faster Obey your Master Master Master of Puppets I'm pulling your strings Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams Blinded by me, you can't see a thing Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream Master Master Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream Master Master Needlework the way, never you betray Life of death becoming clearer Pain monopoly, ritual misery Chop your breakfast on a mirror Taste me you will see More is all you need Dedicated to How I'm killing you Come crawling faster Obey your Master Your life burns faster Obey your Master Master Master of Puppets I'm pulling your strings Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams Blinded by me, you can't see a thing Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream Master Master Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream Master Master Master, Master, where's the dreams that I've been after? Master, Master, you promised only lies Laughter, Laughter, all I hear or see is laughter Laughter, Laughter, laughing at my cries Hell is worth all that, natural habitat Just a rhyme without a reason Neverending maze, drift on numbered days now your life is out of season I will occupy I will help you die I will run through you Now I rule you too Come crawling faster Obey your Master Your life burns faster Obey your Master Master Master of Puppets I'm pulling your strings Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams Blinded by me, you can't see a thing Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream Master Master Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream Master Master

Grim truth is no matter what face of the disease we have to deal with, booze, drugs, self-abuse, food, reltionships... we eventually become the servant of our addiction. What we thought of as our servant becomes our master. hobie

I have been a drug addict for more than 21 years. For a majority for those years I used absurd amounts of cocaine every night. And drank vodka and smoke weed heavily in between. By the time in reached 32, I was 300 lbs and at deaths door. I went to the best rehabs on the east coast and struggled with the 12 steps to no avail since a teenager. All the rehabs I went to were based on the 12 steps program. It made sense to me but it never addressed the core of why I continued to use, which was that I never felt “good” sober so I got high to escape my discomfort and feel artificially “good” for a brief time. As long as the chemicals remained in my body I always resorted to relapsing. Even If I was sober for 3 months I would get the nausea when I thought of doing coke. And this nausea would lead to a relapse. This nausea I believe was caused by the traces of cocaine’s chemicals remaining in my body. I always knew that the answer was to fully cleanse the toxins from my system so that I didn’t have the urge to use but I never knew how to do this on my own. I searched the web and found the Mind Your Body Retreat on the big island of Hawaii. It was the miracle I was looking for. Thank God that I actually packed a bag, got off the couch and flew from NYC to Hawaii. I spent several weeks there juice fasting and eating a cleansing diet of mostly raw vegan foods. For the first time in my life I felt healthy and happy enough to resist the urge to use drugs. Dr Maya Baylac is a superb naturopathic physician and psychotherapist. It has been 3 years since my stay at Dr Baylac’s retreat and I have maintained my sobriety and lost 85lbs. I strongly recommend her approach to anyone struggling with addiction of any sort or dieting issues. I have listed their contact info below.

Sam I totally agree with the need of the body to purge itself of the toxins and when needed, medical detox. But for this alkie/addie it was the toxins between my ears and the lies I chained myself to in my heart that I needed to clean out. For me it took applying the full measure of those 12 steps, taking an honest and in depth look at my self, my fears, my shame, my beliefs, and remove those toxic lies and heal the real wounds, in my life and when possible in the lives of those I hurt. I needed to do what was necessary to make a change from the core of my being. It was the internal journey, the evolution of my spirit, which has allowed me to enjoy 18+ years free of heavy drugs and alcohol. It is that same ongoing process that allowed me to put down tobacco 15 years ago and is enabling me to adjust to a healthy way of eating and exercising. I know folks who have gone to fancy rehabs with no success and others who cleaned up in some of the roughest places. It is more about the choice you make, no matter where you are, that makes the difference between growing sober or going back to the same old insanity. But, that's all just this alkie's opinion. If it works for you, God Bless. hobie DOS 9/22/90

Wow...great lyrics, very, very knowing on the part of the writer. I was a consumer of that breakfast on a mirror too many times and honestly, I was sure, so sure, that I had absolutely NO choice. "A Life of death" you say? When friends and loved ones told me I would die if I didnt change, I replied "I'm already dead, I just havent fallen over yet." But you're right Hobie, regardless of where or how we recover, it all pivots upon our choice. We do have a choice, it's our birthright as human beings to have a good Life, we just have to make the decision to do so. Thanks Guys....lala
