I just tallied up my calendar (I wrote little bullet points beneath the numeric date on each day I used) for this past year, 2009.
The total times I used drugs, the definition switched to mean times I purchased a single quantity of drugs for consumption, even if I used that single purchase over the course of two or three days at the most (i.e.: bag of one half gram of cocaine used for two days in a row counts as ONE use). These "multiple use" series only occurred with cocaine, which I tend to dose mildly and frequently, as in a great cup of coffee (otherwise I'll become nervous, and who buys drugs to feel bad??). The number of "multiple use" occurrences is: 4
Otherwise, the number of times I used in 2009:
24 = exactly twice per month on average. The amount of times I used varied from five in a month to zero.
Overall, I'm fairly pleased by these numbers. I started out using drugs heavy with marijuana for four years straight. Then I used opiates heavy for a year, at least. Now, since my "clean date" (for my parents, drug counselor, NA crew's sake) is 3-17-08, I use opiates sporadically. I used marijuana once in 2009 in August.
Already, in 2010, I've only used once which was TODAY: marijuana. It feels great to use marijuana every once in a while. I need to abstain for at least two weeks between uses to lower my THC levels to naught for my drug screens, otherwise I'm stocked up with a potential two clean drug screens in a water bottle, ready to go, for this entire week, as a "single-use" marijuana consumption remains detectable for 1-6 days, 7 to be safe = one week. :D
