Research also shows that white men are more likely to accept the "broken-self" label, enabling them to complete rehab. Studies have shown that most Blacks in rehab fail to complete treatment because language barriers proved to be too discouraging. Racism is so layered, and has been part of America's fabric for since colonization, it's damn near impossible to discern between rehab employee offering sincere rhetoric or speaking from a racially historical viewpoint. Disturbing rhetoric, even symbolic language, places barriers on ones' mobility. It's dispiriting to enter a rehab facility only to be met with rhetoric that says, "you aren't capable of functioning in society without guidance," or "you are emotionally and morally broke and you need someone to manage your life." Mobility of Black life hasn't been limited to racial segregation. Adopting a morally bankrupt narrative can be an huge obstacle for Black addicts, even if it means saving ones' life. The broken-self narrative has been used to uphold white patriarchy, slavery and other hierarchal institutions. And part of the rehab process is getting clients to submit to the idea that they are mentally and emotionally cracked, split and broken into a million pieces. Rehab programs speak from a POV that says drug addiction is caused by poor emotional management and underdeveloped self-reliance skills. And for Black people especially, drug rehab facilities can be problematic and discouraging. But there isn't one shoe that fits all when it comes to fighting addiction. Rehab facilities have been instrumental in combating addiction. Biden is also continuing the fight to make sure that everyone has access to health care. In an effort to combat drug abuse, Biden plans to invest $125 billion in treatment, prevention and recovery services. You don't get rid of it," Hunter said during the interview. I was in that darkness, I was in that tunnel - it's a never-ending tunnel. During a 2019 interview with the New Yorker, Hunter admitted that he struggles with alcohol, cocaine and cigarettes. Hunter Biden, the son of President-elect Joe Biden, has been open about his struggle with addiction. Hopelessness so thick that I would contemplate suicide, or invite enemies to fight. It's maddening and stifling Depression would last for days. Literally, a three-decade long motion picture dubbed: "Here, Hold All of This Hurt" rolled on a reel for 24 hours a day. For days, everything that had ever caused me hurt, and discomfort played on repeat. Once the sex was no longer satisfying, and cocaine failed to get me high, a violent full-blitz of emotionally painful episodes imploded my soul. Her attempt to dissect the unfinished project before her was met with Jerome Bettis-like stiff arms. I can tell that you're far from home " she'd say. "I'm just trying to connect to your soul. There were times when Joy would just stare into my eyes no words, no movement, only invisible energy. Behind the dark walls of bliss, Joy saw that pieces of Darryl were lost in blighted areas of history. Our platonic freestyle sessions also added to the euphoria of our sexual adventures. The hope that stirred our conversations provided, for the time being, a bridge to our uncertainties. Our time together was sexually and intellectually exciting. The tangled psychological complexities were further knotted with every line of coke that I inhaled.
Flat surfaces topped with mountainous piles of cocaine substituted positive reaffirmations and strenuous yet appropriate conversations with myself and loved ones. So, I abandoned the very listening sessions which held ammunition to a healthy lifestyle. The lyrical prose that formed my life was too complex, and too numerical for my left-sided brain. The spoken words that detonated my self-destructive actions were never analyzed or critiqued. My coke sniffing debut unfurled over ten years ago. Naked and sitting upright in bed with me and another woman, we shared jolts of sexual chemistry upheld by ice cold lines of cocaine. Joy stared into my eyes with enough enchantment to transform a man's sandbox-like insecurities into an iceberg of god-like ego.
