Well I did start to drink when I was about 12.We had an old shed & a couple friends n me would take stuff from our parents,grandparents...etc N go drink um.
I started to really get "into the party thing"when my parents split when I was 13.
But
One last post on this thread and maybe this board.
I apologize for the graphic descriptions of my above post, they were inapropriate.
I think Alice got it right, "spare us the details Mark."
However, I stand behind the thrust of the post and the subject matter. I also think it is pertinent to the thread title, "Childhood Pre-addiction behavior."
I only post here again due to the lengthy diatribes directed against me I've read here. Particularly the comment "you disgust me." Is it my childhood behavior that disgusts you, or the description of it? Or both?
I wonder how pervasive that sentiment is? Is there wide agreement with that? Do I disgust you?
I'd like to know.
A simple yes or no will do.

At age 14 I came up with a unique high (Skin Pop-Adrenalin) A Bong hit or two and a few beers,
I as severely depressed and Binge ate. I put on 50+ pounds in a year14-15 and another 20 by age 16 as they were shooting me with so much prednisone. I was pyscotic etc--Kinda messed up as a adolescent.

Todd don't leave the board, your presence here has helped many people, including me as the recent ex fiance of a heroin addict. Your story has been inspiring and has given me hope for my ex. Part of what has made you a special addition to the board has been your rigorous honesty and although clearly your post has offended twilight (perhaps a little TOO rigorous with the honesty) she/he doesn't have to read it and although does have the right to protest, i don't think that one post outweighs the benefits of your other posts. There are MANY more offensive things on the internet....you do not disgust me but as alice said maybe a little less detail next time for the more easily offended! I do believe this board is big enough for everyone and the more people here sharing their stories, the better for all of us...
We are never all going to agree on everything and what a boring place it would be if we did....the board wouldn't work/help anyone at all if we all just agreed with each other. FREE speech and free to not read it if you don't like it.

Mark, sometimes a simple yes or no doesn't cut it...but no, you do not disgust me...people who live with addicts and have their own addictive behaviors ought to have developed a pretty high threshhold for disgust IMO. I've got skin like an elephant as far as being grossed out goes. Twilight, have you never done anything gross...ever? Gosh, I sure have.
That said, you seem to enjoy war-storying more than most here and this thread touched that nerve in you. Sometimes I feel like you are going for 'shock-and-awe' and I've already been so shocked and awed throughout my life that it seems like attention-seeking behavior.
That's my rigorous honesty for the day...if people had not been equally rigorous with me I would still be doing the crazy things I was doing two years ago.
Don't go anywhere, Mark...you belong here with the rest of us who put the 'fun' back in dysfunctional =)
Peace ~ M&M

No Mark you don't discust me. You can't let one persons opinion throw you for such a loop that you would leave the board (or use). These are the kinds of things that we need to learn to deal with sober. I don't think that any of us presents as prudes but TMI is TMI. Keep coming back.
A bit of TMI, not sure cause the truth is the truth...
Well last I heard anyway.
I would imagine you would not be to alone in the truth you shared Mark, and I would go one up and say that this could be something a woman might go through as well...actually I would bet big many have, either in a healthy and or unhealthy way.
I am not sure what the trigger was for the disgust comment. If it was the masturbation in itself, or if it was the details...But it definitely fit into the nature of this thread.

I AM MISSING SOMETHING HERE.
Tod simply made a statement- there was nothing graphic about it, unless the use of a word instead of a euphemism for it, is in itself graphic.
Many moons ago, when I taught English, if I had assigned someone to write a graphic report about something, that would have been a failure.
This is a drug recovery chat room. SOmetimes serious, sometimes funny, sometimes both.
IF SOMEONE HAS THERE OWN UNFORTUNATE ISSUES WITH SOMETHING, that is said, but it is no reason for them to restrict what we can say within the context of this board.
There is also no reason to offend the poster with implications that he's talking like "Chester the molestor."
THE MAN HAD THE GUTS TO SAY WHAT EVERY BOY GOES THRU - BUT even as an adult is sometimes reluctant to admit it.
GOOD FOR YOU TODD, (find any naked ladies in your backyard yet?"
