PERMAFRIED_ Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 so, just curious... is there ANYONE here (besides myself) that meets all of the following criteria: a) has been doing shit like benzos, opiates, amps, coke, ecstasy, acid, shrooms, etc. for several years now (meaning like, AT LEAST 5) b) has never become dysfunctional or "bad off" due to their drug use, and lives an overall healthy/active/fulfilling life c) continues to indulge on a pretty regular basis, like every weekend perhaps not trying to toot my own horn at all. it just seems like everyone here has either gone totally off their rocker and is now straightened out, IS currently off their rocker, or never really did anything except smoke pot and/or drink.

Guest shai_hulud Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 I had it pretty bad for a while. I was strung out on opiates for a while...then I started doing speed to get off of the opiates. Naturally, I was doing BOTH for a while. I was living in the Mission in SF at the time. Not a good place to live if you want to get clean. Then, one of my friends OD'ed on his birthday in 2004. Then, I almost OD'ed three weeks later on coke, three days before MY birthday. I was pretty mad at myself. Incredibly, I didn't stop then. I started seeing things differently, for sure. I just wasn't ready to give it up. Right now, I just drink. Sometimes, I drink a lot. I don't do drugs anymore. Mostly, that's because I stopped hanging around the people who did the kind of drugs I did, so the hookup (and the temptation) is gone. I don't like 12 step meetings because I think it is just another addiction. I have friends that went that route, and I respect them for making the choice to get clean. I tried NA and AA, but it wasn't for me. I just couldn't buy into the "higher power" thing. I got myself into doing dope, and I got myself out of it. It wasn't easy, but I did it. And, I plan to take all the credit for it. Plus, talking about drugs with people who did drugs makes me want to do drugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(save for the loss of quite a few brain cells). this is not to say i don't get wasted on the rare occasion when i feel the time is right, but i never say never and it's always on my time. R.I.P. TEAZE. he was one of the realest writers and realest persons i've ever come across. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is easy to have a functional, fulfilling life but over time and before you realize it you are hooked on shit more than you want to believe. I could have gone on for another 5 or 6 years doing drugs on top of the 5 or 6 I have steady been doing them but once you see everyone around you fucking up you just realize you should stop before funtional turns into dysfunctional. It sneaks you like that, that's how people ruin their whole lives, because they don't know when to say enough is enough and dead all contact with drugs and anyone who even uses them once a week. If you can sustain every weekend for many years I guess you are cool though. The second it turns into twice a week, three times a week is when you are starting down the road.
