You can use my name city or anything I have to say. I own the gym your latest casualty, Mike Scarcella worked out at and am a recovering GHB addict. (Four Months) As we all know body builders and pro athletes are the number one g-aholics. Why? We were sold a bill of goods on health food store shelves. This will help you sleep, get lean, promote muscle and feel good. Who would not want to take a health supplement like that. Soon after the FDA banned it and all the drug store cowboys started mixing it. I wonder if they had printed on the label, Danger: Harder to get off than heroin how many of us would have ingested it. I like Mike was a 24/7 user.

Reading how one gets addicted is like reading my life story. One cap at bed time to sleep to start out. Then a little pick me up in the morning. After a while how about a midday pick me up? Then the anxiety sets in. I started using more and more. A cap every hour. Every time I woke up. I broke 2 toes, ran a car into a wall and had a concussion, had a knee injury and had to have surgery. I am 39 and had never had a broken bone in my life. I lost who would have been my future wife to GHB. Her love got me off it, but the detox and all the water under the bridge from the condescending attitudes, smart ass remarks as she cared for me after surgery was the final straw. She had tried to get me off for 2 years. I was off. I had detoxed myself. I had no idea how dangerous that was, but she was not ready or did not understand my attitude in detox. It is four months and I am still detoxing. I have anxiety, claustrophobia, and the black hole feeling all the time. Mike was bigger and stronger than probably anyone reading this. He was Mr. America. He He put body through more pain and past limits that probably surprised him. I have a masters degree, Mike was Mr. America and Mr. USA. There is a lot of strength and intelligence there. Not enough to stop the demon. If you use you will lose. I lost a friend, a woman with a beautiful soul, and myself. I can see it clearly now. I am fining Randy again. I never knew he left, but he did. Mike lost his life and hours and hours with his beautiful son Brock, 5 years old. I spoke to Mike about this 3 days before he went into the hospital. He asked how I was doing. I told him I had not used since the last time he and I did. He said GOD bless you. I have to get in a hospital that knows something about this. Mike did not want to be on it it or his friends.

You reading this: Mike was stronger than you. He lost and you will too. Why was I spared? "If not for the grace of God, there goes thee." Those of you in Dallas. I was one of you. I know who you are, and it better stop. If you know me you know I am not scared of you. The names will not be named now.

This is your chance, but if I hear anything you will go down. Do I mean it? Try me. "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change - The Courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference! I cannot change the past or future, but I can do the right thing this moment. If you need would like to email me do so at nshs82@hotmail.com. I want you to live and so would MIKE!

Thank you so much for the tremendous resource of information. I am a rape/assault survivor in which GHB was used. I have had a rough time coming to terms and understanding what happened to me. The information that your website provided leads to information that could possibly bring the people who assaulted me to justice. Thank you!!!
