Many familiar names... The drug causes you to lose all sense of reality. You can't control your bowels, you vomit violently, and have sever stomach pain (cramps) You sweat profusely, and need the drug every two hours.
When I see people ridicule someone for stepping off their morals, and into a situation where Mike did, I feel sorry for these people, to have them think it will never happen to them, or someone they love, and care for. It can happen to anyone, and I hope it never does.
I guess these nay sayers have never watched an episode of Intervention. I have met with some of the subjects of the documentary, and found the same story, time, after time. The story goes like this... I never thought it would happen to me, to her, or to him. Wake up people, it can happen to you.
Mike, did not begin his abuse for pleasure, he began to combat his constant pain. Prescription medication was not taking care of him. Then when the prescription stops you look for alternatives. He (Mike Healey) found relief from someone/something, and had an expectation of being able to handle something that was stronger than himself.
Mike, is a tough, mother fucker... I+He endured a lot of pain. Like the time he duct taped a towel around his broken neck, and raced to a win... He always put his all into what he did. He was weakened by a substance, that was kryptonite to him.
Speaking with a Yamaha, R & D, guy (friend) he was so surprised to learn of Mike's, issue. He, and Mike, felt the same regarding drug use in professional Motocross... Mike, was very against, and down on riders that abused. That's the sad part. A teacher, falling victim to what he preached against.
I stand up for Mike Healey, because he is a dear friend. I stand up for him because he is a victim of drug abuse. He did wrong, and is paying for his actions. Please don't think because I, and many others feel what happened is ok, it is not. It was horrible. But Mike, is still my friend. And I would fight this fight for others, because I am a fighter.
Happy New Year, to everyone.

I hope all the best for Mike.
I am going to give this to Mike's Mom, I'll see her this week. Those that actually know Mike, know that all you said is the real Mike. He got out of line, crossed the line, and messed up real bad. But I can assure you... Mike will beat this, and will once again, be a winner.
I will let him know as soon as possible.
I have twoshort video interviews (Washougal, Budds Creek GP) that I need to get on a DVD one day.
The on-pouring of support is great. I still get letters, and continue to see an upside to a horrible situation. Time is well needed, in hopes of making it through this difficult mess.

I also remeber the time he lent Timmy wiegand his 04 crf250 for the year. Timmy returnd it all bling'd out. so many good stories .Races at star mini night wed house slippers half face helmet and his ttr haha smashing all the guys with there hopped up crazy minis . Racing d-37 big six Mike and RJ thompson killing everyone in the team races. Then at gorman getting disqualified for the weekend because Mike and Rj traded bikes in the unclassified. Basically becuase they hated moto guys killing there guys haha . Doubling two berms together at star on a borrowd bike in shoes .When he overcomes this I hope he comes out just dominates all the vet races. I will be eligable for the vet class in feb haha that sux. thanx for the info Slow did'nt get your name. I hope all is well for him right now i know its hard for him but i hope he knows how many kids he inspired. Im glad it didn't go any farthur then it did. i know his pops is watchin over him and maybe that had somethin to do with him getting caught god works in crazy ways. Again just wish i could have been there for him. Every1 fuks up in life and if you say you didn't then your a liar .Somewhere somehow we all fuk up. This was Mikes first fuk up not even a speeding ticket to his name . Just hope we can turn this to a positive . Maybe a Ride day or something. I know Mikes story needs to be heard. I know of so many other riders who went through and still are fighting this addiction. I got hooked on another drug Even though many people don't think it is but weed ruind my life. At the time the only reason i smoked it was because i was 19 with two pins in my left thumb and one in my right wrist. i wasnt taking pills so i tryed weed. ended up selling the whole nine yards.Had my medical card got raded didnt do jail time thanks to a good lawer .Im now sober for a year . So thanx again Slow . Tell him i said whats up. Ive got healey support stickers coming if he wants em or just wants his usual sticks. ttyl bud
