Hello everyone, my name is Woof, and I'm a recovering aviator.
I'm here to tell you about a vicious class A drug known on the street as "AVIATION". Forget about cocaine, cannabis, extacy - this is the one to keep your kids away from.
Like all drugs it starts with curiousity - harmless experimentation. "I can control it, I can quit any time I like", you say.
But from that first fix you know you want more. Slowly it takes over your life; you spend more and more time thinking about your next hit. You spend all your money on your addiction - some kids even take money from their parents to finance their habit. Financial ruin and poverty is the inevitable outcome.
Friends and family can only look on in despair as they see your life destroyed. At first, exposure to substances like 'C150' give you the rush you need, but with time you move on to more dangerous and expensive substances with street names like 'Twin' and 'Turbine' to get the same effect. The most hard core, down and out, desperate addicts get addicted to 'Jet'. These cases usually spend their days locked up in metal boxes where they exist in a zombie like state, staring into space, immobilised, for hours on end. Once the addiction has reached this stage, there is usually no possibility of rehabilitation.
Some addicts quit their jobs to pursue their addiction. Many are known to disappear from home for weeks, sometimes months - some never return. The more desperate turn to dangerous substances of dubious origin with names like 'Microlight' and 'AN24'. Other have been known to wander into Africa and turn into prostitutes working for pimps known as 'contract bosses' to fuel their addiction. Many of them become victims of AIDS (Aviation Induced Divorce Syndrome).
Once you're in you can't quit. Slowly it destroys you....
The only hope is a support group called Aviators Annonomous. However, very few ever make it back from the brink. Those that do, will always be recovering aviators, continually in danger of relapse from the slightest exposure to AVIATION.
You have been warned..
