Teenage Drug Abuse or Adult Drug Use, how to tell when someone is using.
Ok, so here’s the deal. I get emails all the time, from parents, kids, friends of friends, heck, I think I even got one once from a chimpanzee; it was probably just my brother Rock Star though. Tough to tell. Anyway, many of them seem to ask the same question: How will I know if someone might be abusing drugs and or alcohol?
Hers the ugly truth! You can’t always tell right away (that is unless you can convince them to pee in a cup.) But you could always ask! However if you do, expect to hear what you want to hear most of the time. The honest truth is, we lie the majority of the time when confronted with this dreaded question. Remember, we are manipulative and deceiving when using. Anything you want to hear we will tell you. Trust me; we addicts have that figured out, especially when our use is threatened. The answer is No, No No!
So here are Super Star’s top 5 signs that someone you love may be abusing drugs. They might be a little more authentic than your used to, but I hope this helps you help them, if they want your help that is, food for thought for the next blog..…..By the way, they are in no particular order.
1. Mood swings. If I had a dollar for every time I was right about someone abusing drugs using this old mood swing theory as an indicator, well then I’d have a lot of money!
2. Money. Don’t you find it odd that when someone comes to you and asks for another $20 for gas week after week when you know that there is no way they have put that many miles on their car?? Or how about another $20 this week to buy some food, again? Or what about the $3.00 missing from the counter this morning? You know I saw it there! Or the $10 that you just know you had in your wallet but now mysteriously is missing? Again… Take off the blinders; ask the difficult questions now, missing money means big trouble.
3. Evidence. The reality is, drug abuse is ugly, and so is the evidence. Recently I had a mother email me about the small fragments of glass she found on the floor of her son’s room. After taking them to the police station, they were in fact found to be broken pieces from a crack pipe. This may be a little dramatic, but I bet its happening in someone else’s house as your reading this. Evidence of drug abuse can be anywhere and anything. Those needles from Walgreens that you were just told are for your daughter’s best friend’s diabetic condition are probably not. The obvious excessive amount of Old Milwaukee beer in the garage? How about finding lighters scattered in all corners of your house or in your son or daughters car? These are not your typical text book examples because these are the real life ones. Look for things out of the ordinary, they are there. No addict is perfect, we can’t hide everything.
4. Disappearing acts. Late night departures to go fill up the gas tank? To go get an ice cream bar, night after night? Maybe. Or how about while you’re out to eat, ever think your date might be getting up to go to the bathroom just a little too often? Perhaps. Pay attention, are they acting differently when they return? I’ve done a lot of cocaine in those restaurant bathrooms and the truth is, I wasn’t the only one. Might also want to try staying in plain sight of that bar if you suspect someone you’re with has a problem. And finally, phone off? Again? I used to turn my phone off a lot while getting high, just a thought. If your gut is telling you something, it’s for a reason. Don’t be naive.
5. Motivation. Always remember, the most important thing to any of us addicts is our drug use. We love the drug, at times, more than you. That’s more than you Mom, more than you Dad, Sister, Brother, Uncle, Boyfriend, Girlfriend, whoever, it’s just the way that we become. Because of this, our own responsibilities are ignored, personal goals are obsolete, and interest is gone in any other activities that don't revolve around us getting our fix. These things are no longer significant to us, they are forgotten and any interest in moving forward with our life is gone.
So there they are. There are tons more examples of course and you can always email me for them through my website at http://www.superstarsuperstar.com/ . The important thing to know is, you’re not alone. Always follow your gut instinct and never be afraid to ask those difficult questions! If you think someone might be using, well than they just might be. You just may save a life by speaking up now.
If you think this can help someone, pass it on! And also, pick up a copy of Serenity, it’s the first ever music CD recommended by Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselors. Good stuff, great message, and might help provide you that opportunity at home to engage your child in the conversation that eventuality; you will need to have concerning drugs. With current and past members from bands like Trans Siberian Orchestra, Kiss, Heart, and the Goo Goo Dolls, you really cannot go wrong!

Another example of how asking for help can actually help!
Hello all, I just thought I’d share another one of my stories to show anyone that will listen, just how powerful drug addiction can be - even if a loved one’s life is at its end.
So here it is-
My grandmother and I were extremely close. All while growing up and into adulthood, she was the only other woman on this planet; other than my girlfriend at the time, whom I adored. Although I was living in Chicago and her NY, we’d keep in constant contact with one another via phone and I’d often take the trip out just to see her and take her grocery shopping. I didn’t mind the drive, after all, it gave me a reason to get out and get high along the way. I must have been 27-ish. I was falling deeper into an addiction and I don’t think I really knew it.
She had become extremely ill and had been in the care of Hospice towards the end of her journey. One morning, I had received a call from her. She was not at all sounding like herself. She told me that today was her day and that she was going to “go”. As much as I did not want to believe her words, I felt she was right. As our brief telephone conversation was nearing an end, her words became less and less coherent. I told her not to “go” anywhere without me there to help see her through it. I hung up and quickly packed. I had to get going. I had to be there for her.
On the way out of Chicago, I was full of emotions. I can recall despair and sadness were all I felt and I sure the hell didn’t want to deal with those emotions. In fact, I don't think I even really knew how. I always needed drugs to help me deal with them and this time was no exception. If I were going to be successful at sitting in my truck for the next 12 to make the trek. I had to stop and get some!
I was quickly able to pick up a bit of heroin at a stop I had often frequented. I would have preferred some crack to help me stay awake for the drive but it was all the dealer had so I took it. The problem though, heroin is a downer. It makes me sleepy. That’s obviously not good for someone who needs to be alert for the next 12 hrs. Nevertheless, it wasn’t enough to stop me from taking a hit of it as soon as I got it. So there I was, not even out of the state of Illinois yet and I was already high. My addiction had me and I was already not caring about getting to my grandmother to say good-bye. Crazy how we become different people as soon as we have our drugs in our system.
I could not believe what I was doing. Picking drugs over doing what I knew was right. I was aware enough to know that this time was different and I had to do something, at least for the time being, so I could get to NY and get there sober. I needed an act of god to help me get to her before she passed away.
So I pulled over to the side of the road, and for the next few minutes - prayed.
I had prayed before for assistance but never like this. Each previous time, praying to what I felt were to deaf ears, but not this time. I sat, focused and really felt I had a line of communication to my higher power. I felt it, heard it, and definitely had it; I must have because for the next 12 hour drive, I was suddenly in control.
I was alone with my own thoughts for the next 12 hours and was able to deal with them without the use of drugs as a coping mechanism. This brief moment of clarity did allow me to eventually make it to NY and make it there sober as well.
My grandmother did end up waiting for me that night and remarkably just as I arrived to hold her hand, decided to let “go.” It was one of the most beautiful things I had ever been apart of and I could not have done it at that moment without sobriety in my life.
If you feel this could help someone, please pass it on!

How metal music helped me stay sober in 2009!
How Metal Music helped me stay sober in 2009.
Ok, well maybe not exactly. Let me explain.
2009 started very rough. I was just coming out of my addiction. I was depressed. I was irritated, I hated you, I hated me. I was broke, again. It just wasn’t a very nice time for me. I was up against all the odds. However, the one thing I was not was lazy. I was determined to make 2009 the year I set things in motion for myself that would ultimately help my brother and I succeed in 2010. The first thing I needed to do to help me get through this difficult period was to think about what lay ahead of me if I choose to stay sober. All those things I knew that would be mine, if I stayed clean were possible if I did.
I didn’t have much support. In fact, I was surrounded by people who wanted to see me fail. Make no mistake, the ones that you think are supporting you, do not. Jealousy is brutal and real. Both my brother and I learned this the hard way. Hollywood is full of sharks and when you have nothing more to offer the leeches there, you are tossed away like yesterdays garbage. It’s a fact, when I walk around Beverly Hills like I have cash, then I’m gods gift. When I walk around in my gym clothes, no one but no one looks my way. It’s not as glamorous as the movies make it out to be. Rock Star can confirm when you don’t have a $56,000 bracelet on your wrist, you’re no one to anyone. Period.
I can count on less than ten fingers how many people believed in my brother and I in 2009 but I never EVER used this as an excuse to go out and use again. From the people we hired to support us in our endeavors to the ones closest to us, to this day want to see us fail miserably. I have the emails and have saved the voicemails to prove it. Most have laughed in our face and to our faces while using us all along. What they didn’t know is that we knew this. Every moment, we knew it. We used this to our advantage. Most think we and our ideas are the biggest jokes on the planet.Really? I didn’t know saving lives was a joke. But that’s all about to change in 2010.
In 2009 I, along with Rock Star have launched a non-profit to help kids stay sober. Developing all the programs and initiatives for this non-profit was no small task. We’ve successful written and composed a groundbreaking educational rock CD called “Serenity” to help combat the disease of addictions amongst our youth. Despite the naysayers, we were successful in recording this effort with all of our childhood heroes. This should be seen by many as a huge testament to the power of sobriety and the redemption that comes with. We have sat through the development of three different television programs that were based upon us, (all of which of course never saw the light of day once we refused to write the checks to the leeches). We have written a book, developed and prototyped a dog-training device that will rear its head in 2010, (I know, random isn’t it?), networked with actors and musicians of all types, changed our names, and strategically positioned ourselves to do something big in 2010. Everything we have done was done for a reason, in proper order, all of it, to get us to this position today. All this while taking verbal abuse and insults from almost everyone that looked in our general direction. By the way, all while staying sober, attending meetings, helping others, and paying it forward.
Why am I telling you this? Because as an addict, you need to know you have an uphill battle and while your climbing it, some people may try to push you down. However, every day you stay sober, you get stronger, and then that day comes when you are at the top. That is the ultimate high. With all this being said, I’ve probably received 200 emails of support in 2009 from people in 20 different countries. Who knows how many Rock Star received. After all, he’s the cooler half of the bunch and I thank each and everyone of you for them.
There have been a few musicians that have showed their support and have made it a point to do so. Zak Stevens (Savatage, Circle II Circle), is one of these musicians. I can call him as I please, vent, complain, and I know at the end of that phone call he doesn’t think anything less of me. He has my back and I have his. His songs on our forthcoming CD will change the way people look at him. He’s already a rock god vocalist to many, but after we release his songs to the world, will be sought after more than ever, just as he should have been all along. His passion for singing the way a singer should, all his training, will get the respect it deserves. He’s also going to be responsible for helping the world wake up about the disease of addiction and get the help they so desperately need. My brother and I are making sure he comes out of the gate strong and make no mistake about it, you’ll hear him soon in places you never thought you would. Thank you Zak for everything in 2009, 2010 is your year!
Another one is Chris Caffery, (TSO, Savatage). We didn’t just wake up, call Chris, and become friends with him one day. My brother and I worked at working with him just as we do everything else. From an angle. When people send in pictures to an audition, we send life-size cardboard cutouts of ourselves. (true story). For Chris, this relationship took years in the making to develop and we knew it would. We knew years ago that we wanted to work with him someday. The question back then was how to make this happen. I can thank Rock Star for his ingenious idea that helped this dream come true to fruition. Since then, Chris, Rock Star, and I have shared many days together and have developed a great bond with one of the worlds greatest guitarists. He will also be on our CD “Serenity” and I will tell you to expect nothing less than sheer greatness from his performances. In fact, we saved the three best tracks for him. Thank you Chris for everything thing in 2009, I am looking forward to 2010!
There are other supporters to mention. Stevie Rachelle from Tuff is one of them. Stevie calls it like it is. That’s why Metal Sludge is so successful. (www.metalsludge.tv). First hand, he saw how others treated my brother and I in 2009 and helped us see it the way it really was. He was just as disgusted as we were by the lack of disrespect to our story and effort and told us that its only a matter of time before we have our redemption. Thank you Stevie. Your track “Get out of my way” is a blistering punch in the face to those individuals and was the perfect choice to open our CD “Serenity”. Stevie, may 2010 be your best year.
Lorraine Lewis from Femme Fatale has been another guiding light to the Rock Star Super Star Project. Here is a woman that I can clearly recall having her face plastered in every corner of my room growing up and now she’s on my speed dial. I’m not boasting. I’m trying to convey the power of sobriety and the magnitude and importance of perseverance. The promises due exists, providing you stay clean to see them through. Lorraine sang on our track called “We Are One” and to see her in the studio rock out in real life was something I will cherish every day for the rest of my existence. Thank you Lorraine, I’ll always have a poster of you somewhere.
My brother and I wrote a tune for Doro Pesch called “Such a Bitch”, which is now “Mistress Insidious.” However soon after doing so found out she was unavailable. Doro has always been someone I’ve wanted to work with and finding out that I couldn’t, at least for now, was disheartening. After all, here was this track that we thought only she could do justice. We really thought it was going to be a throw it away. Then I walked into a record store one day and from the music overhead heard the voice that changed everything. The name of the band Benedictum. The name of the vocalist, Veronica Freeman. Veronica has more guts than almost any male singer out there does and this track will no doubt have to be released as a single. Everytime I hear it I laugh because there is hardly a male around that could be more metal than Veronica. What most don’t know however is just how sweet of angle she is at heart. She is always there to take my calls and as every addict needs, is always there to offer me up sound advice of how to get through my most treacherous moments. She accepts me as who I am when most only do an about face.
There are others to mention that have participated on our CD “Serenity.”. George Lynch from Dokken played a screaming solo and took the time to design our CD cover. Cheri Curry (Runaways) nailed her performance on “Rockin Angel”, Bruce Kulick (Kiss) lit up our “Do it for you” track. Carlos Cavazo (Quiet Riot) blazed through “One day at a time”. Howard Leese (Heart), David Schultz, (Goo Goo Dolls), and Jon Olivia, (Savatage), all played a part in helping Rock Star and I create the amazing and first ever educational Rock CD about addiction. However, it’s these four mentioned prior that have had the most impact on me both personally and professionally and that have helped me to want to stay sober.
I do want to continue to be as over enthusiastic about my hopes and dreams tomorrow as I am today. I do want to continue to be considered a pain in the ass to everyone that surrounds me for my continued quest for perfection. 2010 I will be just as ridiculed and insulted as I was in 2009 by those who simply just can’t keep up with my ideas or passion for making this life the best I can for myself and for those that surround me. As someone just said recently, “You’re like a kid on Christmas everyday.” That person was right, I am. I am because everyday, every moment while sober is a gift, and to all the addicts reading this blog, your dreams can be used as a tool to stay sober and as long as you’re clean, your dreams can too become reality.
Best advice I can give from the get go? Lose the resentments from the prior year. Resentments often times will lead to a relapse. Dump them and never carry them again. Its easier then you think when you practice doing so.
Up the horns addicts, here’s to 2010!
