I got to spend the night with them, but the next morning<br />

they had arranged to meet my dad for the ransom. They drove<br />

with me to the pick up point and let me go.<br />

In the end, I am thankful to God that I got away — I think<br />

my faith and our concept of Karma/Fate helped me through<br />

this ordeal. But it has left a scar — life will never be the same<br />

again. It was hard to trust anyone for a while — I went into a<br />

pain killers after surgery. I didn't drink that much (though, I<br />

I was well-focused in that regard.<br />

I remember seeing the stoners in high school and laughing<br />

at them and calling them losers. I remember wondering<br />

what, WHAT!, in the hell were they thinking. How messed up<br />

can you get?<br />

I made it through early adulthood. I passed my twentyfirst<br />

birthday and still only drank ("only" meaning that I<br />

drank on weekends, but not much beyond). never drugs. I<br />

watched some guys do drugs and just wondered what the hell<br />

they were thinking. Seriously, one time I watched guys smoke<br />
