There is no teacher like first-hand experience...so, my advice---get some buttons, shoot about 100ml into your left arm, drop 4-5 hits of some good microdot (preferably cut w/ethanol, not rat poison), snort 2 or so grams of coke, then about 12 hours after all of this, take about 3 mg of Klonopin. Then, lock yourself in a yellow painted room with some Daft Punk and Barry Manilow playing with the volume at 11 (if you have the same stereo amps as Spinal Tap) for 3 days with nothing to eat but Maple and Brown Sugar oatmeal and (naturally) Ramen Noodles. THEN you may go straight to a drug rehab center and get a top-position job. Too many people that "counsel" on shtuff about which they know nothing.
