Ahhh, fucking wonderful. I suspected something last night when I took the dogs out at midnight and there were two men wanting to come in. I knew they didn't live here. They were polite enough, but they had... that look. It's like the fucking Dark Mark and I felt mine fucking burning.

I knew it for certain this afternoon. I walked down the hallway and there were two KitKat wrappers - the ones which come wrapped in actual tinfoil - and a small piece of crumpled, dusty plastic bag lying on the floor.

Reflexively, to confirm what I already knew, I touched the plastic to the tip of my tongue. I wished I hadn't afterwards... I was spitting in the bramble bushes and scrubbing my tongue on my T-shirt but I couldn't clear the taste away. I got back inside and spit and gargled, spit and gargled, spit and gargled again. It made my lip numb and my stomach churn in pure fear and loathing. I spent five fucking years scrubbing that taste and smell off myself, and now, here in my fucking safe space, one of my fucking neighbours is shitting it on my doorstep. I want them out of here, I want them gone, I want them fucking dead.

Small mercies. The Kitkat wrapper means whoever it is is smoking it and not fixing. That means there won't be dirty needles lying around the place... at least, not for a while. I hope.

Good stuff happened today, for which I am soulshakingly grateful. It helped take the taste away. I can't talk about it in the same entry as this. Two different worlds.

yeah. very, very not happy about this.

it's easy to say people can do what they like to themselves in their own flats, and I believe that in principle, but I know from experience it always spills over onto the neighbours - from people knocking on doors late at night right through to burglaries, needles in the yard and fucking police raids. ugh ugh ugh.

I can tell the Council housing officer (and I will), but since I threw the wrappers away and I don't know which neighbour it is, there's not a lot they can do unless somrthing worse happens.

yeah... it really does. took me a long time to get clear of that life. I feel like it followed me here or something.

find, kill, feed the bodies to wild pigs.

i thought the flat where you live has several former addicts in it? and it's council housing, right? so do they do drug tests as a condition of living there?

argh. i'm so incredibly pissed that people are doing this, and i'm so sorry you had to have that experienience.

*love/hugs*

Oh Lord no, they just rent it to us cheap - they don't look over our shoulders like that.

I'm not the only former user here, I just don't know which of the others is using now - or even if they are using. Those two guys last night might have just been here to smoke theirs in the stairwell or something. I've seen that before too.

I am glad you got the good stuff to help remove the bad taste. That sounds just awful.

yes. [livejournal.com profile] topbit was here which was magnificent beyond description - although I may try and describe it a little tomorrow anyway. if I'd been alone tonight it would have upset me so much more than it did.

Yay for good company on bad days.
Liz, I have more kittens, I didn't mean to do it, it just happened...

ha, yes, I saw last night! I'd reached the point where I was too exhausted to do any comments but still reading. You're MAD. But good :)

Helvete.

I can just see how this can escalate. Not good. When it comes to drugs you know the general rule that what ever people feel they want to do they should be able to in their own homes don't apply! If someone is doing the shit it draws everyone living in that house into it in some way or another... I seriously hope you'll find out who it is so this can come to an end, hard and swift. If I had lived closer I would gladly have lended you Anders to convince them to fuck off.

*hugs*

oh yes, I know it from experience.

if I'm lucky, those two guys were just here to smoke their own stuff in the stairwell or something out of the wind. if I'm lucky they weren't here to buy it off someone in the building.

ugh.
