Erik Rhodes: "A Romance with Misery" - Am I reading too much into your latest tweet “about sweating out the drugs” in concluding that you have quit using drugs of all type and are presently detoxing? I would be overjoyed if that were the case considering that I have long since believed that your drug use, beginning in high school, has only served to worsen and magnify your mental health issues. I have also become concerned about the likelihood that you may develop Hepatic encephalopathy as a result of your abuse. Your thoughts?

My name is James... I have worked in the adult entertainment industry for the last 7 years of my life under the name Erik Rhodes. I'm not sure how I ended up here, and I don't know how i have survived this long... all i do know is that it can a very lonely place and sometimes i need a blog to get shit off my chest. So take it or leave it... here it is.

Damn i was doing so good… then LA happened and i get swept away… but yes, your goddamn right… i’m back at the gym, sweating that shit out… and i’m almost right back to where i left off… my brain has turned back on and i can speak correctly again… kinda… this time…somewhere along my binge i seemed to have bit off a piece of my tongue, which made it incredibly hard to eat and had me speaking with a slight lisp for the last couple of days… now in retrospect seems kinda funny… but goddamn James… when are you gonna get your shit together?

As for mental heath issues…i’m not sure… of course it doesn’t seem strange when i’m high but the imaginary people and constant Skrillex soundtrack playing in the walls, that i keep dreaming up really has started to scare people…

I remember someone once saying to me while we were extremely high was “you wouldn’t hurt me right” … and thinking…”no, but do i look crazy or something”… i guess i’m starting to look pretty crazy…
