Dallas Straight 89-90

When I first got out, I did not hang out with anyone from Straight.  I lived in Huntsville, and the only person from Huntsville was Pat C. who was still in.  I did go see Allison Boggs, but I was for the most part trying to stay sober, and I could tell that she was not doing well.  She was hanging out with Kim (I forget her last name... probably before your time), and I knew Kim was screwing up.  They had both been junkies pre-Straight.

Anyway, I ended up relapsing, getting shipped off to Connecticut to live with my sister.  Got clean again, then relapsed, moved back to Texas, enrolled myself in an outpatient program (actually looked into going back to Straight, but Ms. Petito I think was gone by that time).  I found out right after I got into the outpatient program that Pat was out of Straight, so I looked him up.  We never hung out pre-Straight.  I was country & he was goth.  But I knew I had to change people, places, things....

I had a little over a year clean when I relapsed.  Ended up later in life getting 5 years totally sober, and went another 3 years before I started smoking pot again.

Hey Kelly, I didn't recieve your e-mail. Did Patrick ever tell you about getting left at school, while in straight because his fellow ols comer, copped out? That was me. Patrick stayed with my parents for a long time. Do you guys still talk? I would love to talk with him some day, Peace.

Anyways, it was just strange to me that people who were in, hung out afterwards...

Some of my friends from Midland had been in and we knew each other before and after...but I never hung with any of the folks I was in with.

I did come accross Mike Gatis, Ron Bowden, Sasha, Keith House, Tyler, all after I got out, but I was already getting high and wasn't sure about them...it made it awkward....

I hung out with Chris McNeil a few times when I got out...but in the end I couldn't live Straight Edge....I'd like to see him again and Ron Bowden...who was the coolest 5th phaser in my time there..

D. So, you ditched him twice?? That for some reason cracked me up. But, yes at least twice. It wasn't anything personal against Patrick, and yes it's the same guy. He just happened to live with a guy (me) that had deep rooted hatered toward the place, hatred like I have never experienced before or after Straight. Haetred, what a weird feeling.

Are you talking about the guy, that looked like a rich preppy, reddish hair, that was fried from a hair staightening product. I know I lived and went to school with another old comer, but I could't remember his name to save my life. I can picture him like it was yesterday, but the name???? It escapes me...Jim doesn't sound right.

I think that was his name....I was never at a host home so it is hard for me to recall....

Ron Bowden was a really cool guy...he was soft spoken ...how he managed to keep that going and be in there for 18-24 months I'll never know...

I saw him at a concert after I got out and he was doing real well....

Hey guys
Chris Cherry here.I havent been to this site in months. i saw a message from jim on another site and thougt i'd check it out.alot of my memories of straight and the folks i was in with are sketchy, but you guys have touched on afew things i remember.the guy with the fried hair was Brian, i cant remember the last name, he was from some where in east texas. i do remeber day one he came in with staight hair, day two it was a huge fro. i cant belive i cant think of his last name. i went to school with him, burke jackson, and robbie petticrew.and the little black guy was elmer, and yes his older brother did shoot somebody, and was shot dead.he actually made it to second phase then he hauled ass from my weeekend host home with our newcommers(one of whom was vance, the only time he copped out in his long career there).elmer took the newcomers to wash there hands for dinner, about 10 minutes later i went to check on them, only to find they left through my little sisters window(the only one in the house that didnt have an alarm).ron  bowden is one of the coolest mofo's ever. he came in a few days after me. i dont think his program was longer than 18 months.mine was 13 months 10 days and 6 hours( of pure hell).i know his wasnt much longer.last i heard
he had some sort of degree in music from north texas and was putting together somekind of band but thats been about 12 years ago. as for tyler his program was one month shy of 3 years almost exactly.i beleive it was the longest in staight dallas' history. i remember him saying somthing about one of execs. wanting to keep him in for 1 more month just so it would be a round 3 years. he, james hardy, todd townley, and i shared an apartment for a couple of months, till we did something to piss tyler off, and he left in the middle of the night to go back to houston. a few months later i heard he died in a car accident.
 i'm wondering who irving bound is, i'm sure i know ya but, i cant put it together.i'd love to hear from anyone that remembers me. [email protected]
