Sweat Pea On Coke?

[tracylee]

Sugar Ray leonard never did ******* in his prime, he turn to coke after he retired, guess what happen to Ray after he came back from his retirement as a super middleweight. He stopped drinking & stopped taking coke. You can not be a good boxer if you are on coke. I personally had this problem for 2 years of my life & I know what I'm talking about. I've been clean for 6 years now, I'm older, I'm stronger & I'm faster without coke. Maybe I'm right, we do have many crackheads on this board.

I agree...theres NO way a man can fight 12 rds on the ****, period. Coke drains a person..it makes you thirsty as hell, so youre gonna drink, and then it makes you piss all that out, therefore losing alot of vital nutrients, etc. Besides, when youre that strung out, you'd HAVE TO HAVE a line, bump, whatever inbetween rds, just to keep going. I dont think thats a possibility, so by rd. 5 AT BEST you'd be out on your ass. And, that not taking into consideration that if he did enough (I mean a ****load) to get thru an entire fight, he'd get dizzy headed from the heat (crap makes you sweat liters too in the heat) and one good punch and he'd be down. Coke give you alot of 'zazz' and energy, FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME...after that, you have to keep feeding on it just to try and keep that buzz. After that, peeps use the **** just to feel human again, cause getting that buzz gets harder and harder, the more you do.

Saddest day of my life was witnessing Trinidad beat up on Pernell. I think that single handedly made me dislike Felix. I missed FNF's last night though cause im violently ill, was Pea talking about a comeback?

My kid was watching with me (which automatically means I couldnt hear it all..she's a talker ) but I do think I heard the usual "name dropping" from him and kenny. anybody else got more solid info?

Did you also had this problem, like me??? Because your sure know your stuff. That was the worst 2 years of my life. I remember not sleeping for 7 to 10 days.

oh yes, you could say that....back when I was 17. I did the crap for 5 days straight, eating (actually, forcing food down really) a bite of food, literally a bite, once a day. I woke up one day right before Christmas when I blacked out (passed out or fainted, the only time I've ever done that in my life) in the middle of WalMart. I remember that clearly even though it was yr's ago. First, I started feeling a little dizzy and all the heat in my body felt like it rushed straight to my head! That alone was freaky, but then I was literally blind and all I could see was black dots in front of my eyes. Next thing I know, people are bent down around me, asking me if I was alright. I told my friend I needed to sit down and she kept saying "youre alright, just hang on a min"...oh well. She later told me next time she'd find me a chair IMMEDIATELY. That was when I knew I had to do something..so I went thru about 3-4 days of utter hell, but never touched it since.

I couldnt help but notice the sniffles he had going on myself, but maybe its because he was talking about it. When you've been addicted to something like that for a while, even when youre clean, just talking about the **** can get the juices flowing and signs of withdrawal can show. In a booklet from NA it tells you that regardless of how long you've been clean, you can still suffer the symptoms if and when you get it on your mind..something about a psychological reaction. Matter of fact, it said you can go into complete withdrawal just by driving by your ex-dealers house. Who knows if thats true or just bull**** to keep you away from the dealers house to begin with. The one thing that did make me really suspect him was when he said he never "hunted it down" (bull****) but just did it when he was around it. Sorry, once youre hooked on that **** you'll go out of your way to find a fix....thats just the way it is. I hope he's really clean and will stop fooling himself and stop tellign himself that he was never actually ADDICTED to the crap, cause he definately was.
Anyway, if he is serious about making a comeback, coke is out regardless cause of the required tests. With the stink they make over steroids, I'm sure ******* will cause one hell of a stir.

sounds like this is coming from a former drug-user themself..hmm

I'm happy to hear that you never touched that crap again. My problem went for 2 years, until my girlfriend left me for good. She never took me back, but if she didn't leave, I might of never been cleaned. I lost the love of my life, thanks to coke.

sorry you lost the love of your life, but try and love the life you didnt lose. I have to think that she would have stuck by you, unless you beat on her and ****, if she really, REALLY cared. But, I dont know you so I wont presume to know her either, or the situation/relationship. Glad your clean now!
I'm not proud of having used the crap, but I'm not too embarrassed to admit it since it was over 15 yr's ago, and I learned from it. and I only did tell it to prove the pt. that you were right..theres no way a man can box while being a user. Of course, he could do a big, fat line and come out and kick ass for a round, but after that the gas runs out.

No I'm happy she never took me back, because I was bad. I never hit her or any other girl in my life, I have beaten some guys on the street for hitting a girl. Any man hits a girl, is not man. I cheated on her like 10 different times when I was high on coke. So I don't blame her not taking me back. A part of me will always love her, because she saved my life. I guess love was more stronger then coke. I became clean because of it. ******* doesn't make you a better boxer, it's scary to see some young idiot trying coke thinking it will make him or her a better boxer.

damn, 10 times?!? Now I undestand. Once is enough to break a heart, but 10 times is enough to make a person hate you (hope she doesnt) but all that really matters is you did get clean because of it. I dont think the reason a person quits matters in the least...just quit!

That about boxing reminds me of a news story I saw the other night where some girl supposedly used it to lose wt. Crazy!
