"Hello my name is Robin & I'm a qat addict. It's been 5 days since my last chew." Yeah, serious about the addict. Going thru withdrawal here. Two solid months of chewing qat in Yemen & my body needs more. Being a heavy-duty amphetamine, barely slept or ate. Now can't get enough sleep. Today was my first day without a nap. But keep thinking about it! Can't get it out of my mind! There's qat here. A store 10ft from my hotel. And Yemenis told me Ethiopian qat is even stronger. But I'm trying to resist... must be strong! First there was the Beer Lao addiction, then Cambodian happy pizza, then sheesa, then qat... what's next... have been smelling some funky incense here in Rastafarian land... ;-) Tags: Yemen Ethiopia drugs |
