What would you be spending your money on if it wasn't for drugs?

It makes me cringe a little to think about what I would have been able to buy if it wasn't for drugs.

I'd probably have a lot more electronic gadgets, a better computer, possibly a newer car, more clothes, watches, a Blackberry instead of a Tracfone.....
 
I use to be obsessed with skateboarding until i became obsessed with heroin. I plan on gettin back into skating next week as excercise when in detox.

But when i got money it would usually just sit around, end up in the bank and be saved or spent on food. Very rarely do i want to buy or buy material things.
 
I dont spend much on drugs anymore as insurance covers my oxy. But i have no problem going to spend 100$ on some sushi every week or so. I love good food and will spend almost any amount of money on it. That and i would finally get that turbo kit for my 92 Vw corrado thats just been sitting since i broke my back last year.

same thing with me.i dont know why.i dont get excited seeing expensive clothes n stuff like that i just keep the cash if not using drug
 
I live in a nicer house now, (been clean going on a year.)

Saving for a better vehicle.

I am not a person who needs a lot of "toys", just a peaceful/comfortable living environment, and enough $ not to have to stress about it. That was all achieved very rapidly after getting clean.

Thats definitely where I'm at now, too.

I used to be a much more active musician, always had a real hard working band going plus several side projects. And I was a total (music instrument/equipment) gearhead (i was a gearhead in both sense of the term for a while, too...). But I managed to buy all of the necessities to take care of any live music situation (an amazing electric guitar, a fender custom shop amp, a total true-bypass pedal board with top end lossless capbles running between three seperate boutique gain stages, teese rmc3 wah, boutique phaser, boutique chorus/trem, boutique analog delay, and a takamine acoustic/electric). I still have all of this equipment, amazingly, so if i ever found a good situation to play music in, i'm all set on that front...

During my multiple clean stints, I've done a lot more travelling, seeing more live music and enjoying time in cool towns like Asheville, NC, Boulder/Front Range of Colorado, NYC, etc... hell, even in the depths of addiction i still caught some live music from time to time, just not as much... most of my disposable income goes to recreation, be it in the form of music, travel, or drugs... its just the ratios that vary from time to time....
 
car insurance, number 1, art supplies number 2 ~ i think i do a good job spending money on my girl , she comes before the schnizzle ,
 
Probably the only other fucking thing in this life that gives me any pleasure which would be women.

Oh and i would like a big huge motherfucking stereo one of those 3 in 1 things with the record player, CD and tape player. Along with huge motherfucking speakers =D .
 
Before I started on oxy's, I was buying all the latest computer parts and constantly upgrading my car. I wore $500 shirts.

Now, I've sold or pawned it all trying to keep up with my habit. I'd be living a pretty good life I spent, instead of injected, the $13k a month (2x more using the value of the pills in some parts of the country) my habit consumes. My car wouldn't be DOA in the driveway, I wouldn't live in a shit-hole, I would have got early termination of house arrest by being able to pay off fines, I'd still have my class ring... it goes on and on.

Sadly I hate the person I am without the drugs so much I'd rather die than quit (withdrawal doesn't phase me, I go through it twice a month for the 2-3 days before scores).
 
if i wasnt so selfish id invest it, or buy my family gifts take my gf out to nice vacations, go out to eat alot, new car go to the gym shit id be normal spinding person
 
food, video games, and going out in general. I have never been much of a saver, but drugs only stand to compound that

I actually have a savings fund from my job. I need to put it in a bank, however, as I constantly tap into it to buy drugs(whether it be to consume or to flip for profit/free drugs)
 
i think i would have more money in the bank...i'd also have some nicer electronics. i'm still young, but i think i'd try to get some money together and invest it, at least in a CD or something, so i couldn't touch it for a few years and it would gain some interest.
 
i would just spend it on other forms of entertainment, so like a tv, nice car, etc.
with my current use pattern, i dont spend money on drugs that i should be spending on necesities, so its really not a problem
 
CD's, clothes, and going out and having fun. I never do any activities that require you to pay for them nowadays.
