Never had I heard that term before, and I was just reading a post from someone asking about it, and then the replies.
Tracie, oh hi Tracie we haven't met. I am a knit wit clean two years, and residential weirdo. Anyway, reading Tracie's explanation it made me think of two things. I was never a coke girl. NEVER. I'm already speedy in my brain.
Anyway, here goes. This lady I was in rehab with was telling me how she hadn't started out a crack addict. She was speed balling. So, she said the due she picked up and used with got all paranoid. Like BAD. Like Tracies Ex.
Lady says knock it off messing my blinds up and calm down. Dude says "The FBI and CIA are at your door". She's like "Yo, man you're tripping". This guy now they are on the second floor she says he just freaking jumps out the window. Just like Superman or something. Hit the ground, got up and kept running.
Then I remember once I was copping. Place here called the badlands. It was open air, and man you better hand the money quick, and get your chit quick and be on your way.
So of course the freaking guys say "It's on the way it'll be five minutes". Translated means ya may be here a few hours. Anyway, this chick is in her bare feet in all this dog crap, blood, broken glass. Looked like Janis Joplin a bit only minus teeth.
She says to herself or all of us or nobody "Ain't it funny I been smoking the crack and doing my dope, but my body needs the dope physically, but I am jonesing for the crack".
Phewwwwwwwwwwww, and I thought i had problems. So she's saying she only has suck and such amount of loot, and blah, blah. What should I do? We all go in unison "Use it all on the dope and forget that crack".
Never seen her again, but rmemeber thinking, man she ain't got shoes. Like she was at Woodstock or something only in a drug alley.
Dearest Bryn:
Crack,Freebase,and shooting cocaine can realy F!%^K Up the brain.
I remember times that I say the Swat Team on the top of the 10 to 15 rooftops in front of my apartment,they were coming in with ropes,jumping on the walls and crashing in my window,how F^%!ED UP is that.
Another time there were NINJAS in my staircase,when I looked through my pephole(this little eye thing that you can see who is knocking on your door),and they were in position to kick the crap out of anyone who opened that door,another time I saw a cut off head with a knife going through it inside my toilet looking at me.The thing is it looks so damn real at the time that it scares the SH$!T out of your hole,no joking.
I can go on and on for hours telling you about the S$%T I use to see while doing coke,WOW,I'm lucky I'm not F%$!ED UP in the head cause of all that using.
There are days that I'll be washing dishes or washing cloths or simply just sitting on the toilet and I'll think of things like this and crack up laughing on my own,thank god no ones around to see me cause they would think I've totaly have lost it,loll,loll,loll.
Lots of love always a friend Teena

Yeh...the cracks great,us Micks used to love that one.The smell,cooking up,ammonia,coke.Darkened rooms for 4/5 days on a trot,having a white knucle ride thru parnoia,pulling blades on mates&vicaversa,the sound of a fight in the kitchen coz we got no ammonia left only bicarb....oh yeh the cracks great?its the worst...Davey
hi bryn, just wanted to say that what my ex was doing was only half of it..... one night i came home from shopping and caught him on his hands and knees looking for bits of crack that he dropped, he started patting me down telling me that i had nicked his gear, god i had only just walked through the front door... ive had the one were he swore the old bill were outside the house watching us, another night we had to go out on the street just to make sure that they werent hiding behind the trees.i can laugh about it now but at the time it really wasnt funny..when he got put in jail he done abit of snowballing in his cell on night, he told me baracaded himself in he thought the screws were plotting to spin his cell, ha ha i had to laugh about that one.. he was forever looking over his sholder, thats why i could never understand why he would do it, his lucky he never had a heartattack! tracie x
snowballing is nothing..its me that got the term confused with speedballing!
my boyfriend mentioned shooting heroin and cocaine together i remembered the name as snowballing..but i remembered wrong!
i think my boyfriend nearly always used to take the two together and then if there was no heroin just inject cocaine, but he says its the heroin he is properly addicted to..dont know if this makes his recovery any different from someone who normally only does heroin???

O.k,i get ya Tracie,but a mix of gear&coke usually banged up was always called speedballing,the name originated in the U.S.But as we all know names/slang etc,can be distorted over time&borders.So i dont think Sashb will be giving any lessons on the Alps in the near future..All the very best ...Davey
when you think about it things are termed different everywhere, maybe its just the slang for it around this area, and it could be speadballing in another... before i went out with my ex i had never heard of snowballing it was all new to me, up untill yesterday i had never heard of speadballing, so every day i am learning something new.. whatever its called it all means the same thing, one thing is for sure tho, its one thing i wont be again.. i'll leave all that para madness s*** to the ex, he can snowball (speadball) all he wants.. i dont fancy watching him spying out of the cracks of windows telling me there comming to get him, ha ha ha tracie x
Sashab, I think we all agree. We like the term "snowballing" better than the alternative. But... a rose by any other name.... I had a friend who used to turn the lights out on me just at the crucial time.(like as soon as I drew blood) I used to get so mad. He'd say," It's for your own good! They're coming in! (whoever they are) As Some of you have read, My husband geeked out on coke and jumped off the balcony and broke both his feet. Lucky you didn't know him back in the day, Teena. You might have jumped right behind him.lol! What happened was, he was peeking through the blinds and a green SUV pulled into our parking lot. Evidently his cocaine addled brain saw a carload of DEA agents. I hope those days are gone forever. He's going to be paying for it for a long time. It's been 6 months and he's still in a wheelchair. You can bet he hasn't done any coke, though. peace, Shirley
