Pierre Daniel Charette

I'm Pierre, I am from Canada. I'm Autistic, I only found out 3 years ago at 55yo. Now at 58, I write about how it was to be Autistic without knowing being born in 1964. I was one of the first on amphetamines( Ritalin) for hyperactivity in 73. Having been missdiagnosed most of my life did cause a lot of adventure in my life, one good thing now is my ability to understand the life of addiction.

My daily hike.

This will be my first article, yesterday I posted I would republished my book but with the guidelines, it wouldn't be possible to do here. I will do it same place I've done it first, here I will tell you more about me and sincerely open up to who I am today and who I have been in the past and if I can help. I've been off drugs for 26+ years, 7 on Heroin and 5 were daily, never missed a day. My detox was done in prison on a cell floor for 16 days, I didn't move away from the steel toilet, day & night.

That was my last sentence and since I've got off heroin (all drugs), my son was born that year and I moved far from my connections , my time was also counted as the biker's became aware I was supllying myself on both side of the fence when they were out of heroin, and they had put a price on my head, so it was the right moment to make a change in my lifestyle!

If you're on drugs and you need help and you're ready for it, you can write me and I'll gladly read you and decide if I can be of help to you or not! I'm here and depending on you if you're ready, and if can help I will! If I say I can help, I would and it would be mostly the challenge of making someone's life better, if you can put a price on that great, personally I doubt there's enough paper on earth to trade for somebody's happiness. Since I've lost my one friend to suicide and many more to OD also, it gave me a different perspectived on life worth.
I do simple things to stay off which has worked for 26 years+, such as my daily hike, I do not have a magic pill and do follow therapy myself and I have been for 20 years and will probably always keep going but there are ways especially if you're a parent I might be able to help.I speak and teach from living experiences.

Where you are is very important and if you have chidren the decision must be taken now. I know how it feels like when you're at a point when you think for you there's no help possible, BS. I've been there and thought the same for 7 years on smack plus another 18 on other drugs from prescription Ritalin in 1973 then pot and hashish ended with smack in 1996!

At 58 years young now I got diagnosed as high functionning Autism 3 years ago which changed my life and made me understood a lot of why things happened as they did and especially why I reacted as I did.I forgave myself totally, once I knew I done the best I could which was surviving on my own since I'm 15.If you're a parent of an underage kid that uses opioïde, you're the best chance at the right time to save your teen from a life of hell. That doesn't mean in anyway that you're responsible for his or her actions but there are step as a parent that can be taken to improve the chances of success. I think that with my experience, together we could accomplishe what might seem impossible.
Thanks for reading and hoping to make many new acquaintances on Core Spirit!

Pierre. Autistic & Proud.

Being new here on Core Spirit, I haven't practiced in years, and since I have an attestation in drug rehabilitation and 26 years sober from heroin, I was working in landscaping! Now before I start helping again I'm waiting for my credentials which shouldn't take more than 14 days. I want to establish a relationship of trust with my patients and for that, you must know me and trust me, so once I advertise my help it will be clearer what I can do to help you improve your life, thanks for reading if you'd like to read more you can read me on.

First I'm Autistic, I've learned only 3 years ago, what the past of my life brought me living as such (Autistic) without being aware made for some special stories and after 25 years of sobriety from heroin+ my help can be useful for Autistic for sure, and some parents of addicts who are underage I might be able to help and also some addicts! I would never offer someone help or sell them help if I didn't think I could deliver, all I'm offering is sincerity and especially trust, without it you'd get nowhere. Love, Pierre.

The best chance of fighting opioids is with teenagers, the longer the addiction the longer the therapy. The statistics for adults hooked on heroin is 8% successful only and out of that 8%, 20% will go back, probably for a concise term but up to 20 years after. So don't wait the sooner, the better your chances!

I've written my first article on Core Spirit today and it won't be possible for me to re-edit my book here. I will write articles that will be more in the interest of help and advice I've used to stay clean and to be resilient of being Autistic.

I will continue on Medium every other day as usual.

In April 2022 after being strongly encouraged by my Doctors, therapists, and close family I wrote my life stories. I always thought it wouldn't be of interest to anyone, seems I was wrong.
Although it was published for 2 months and was doing well I wasn't happy with my editing and decided to re-edit the book this is what I will be writing, it will have similarities but will have significant changes since my English improved a lot and titles will be changed.
So this will be my life stories from preschools, school, farms, and Psychiatry to working for bikers and driving a cab for the mob who fired me and prison!
Anyhow it's not a sobbing story though, it's how as an Autism I lived it with humor not being aware of my condition and being misdiagnosed.
I was on heroin for 5 years+ and it was somewhat adventurous. It's all how you look at it & I always saw the positive side when young, I hope you'll enjoy it, I will start tomorrow with the start of my life!

Thank you for reading.
Pierre. Autistic and Proud.
