It would be interesting if people included their parents in their posts, and if they could find out whether they were older or younger siblings.

 

[d-phex]

I'm the youngest. I was the "fuck-up" until I found my way.

 

[saveyour]

Interesting thread...I'm the oldest of 2 children and I've always tried to keep my drug use away from my younger sister, although shes' definately aware of it, as is my entire family.
She's pretty much at that age now though(16), and while I certainly hope she stays away from drugs, I wouldn't be surprised at all if she started using something. She may have already for all I know
If she does though, she'll be lucky for having me as a brother, cause I'd be more than happy to educate her and help her...not help her use or get drugs, but help her with any questions she has and stuff like that. I know I certainly wish I'd had somemone like to help when I was younger and started experimenting with drugs. I had to learn too many things by myself.

im the older and im the fuck up in the family and i mean it big time. my little brother doesnt touch anything and in fact builds computers. like mega computers. its crazy

I'm the younger of two.
I definitely took a different path from my older sibling ever since I left home for school at 17. I keep in touch but I know my sibling would surely never do any of the things I do.

 

[LoJO_7]

I'm younger sibling my older brother was the first person I ever did drugs with. Niether my bro, or I are considered fuck up's for using in our family. We pick each other up when we fall.

 

[isotopic_parody]

I'm the oldest, the smartest and the fuck up. Although I've unfucked up pretty well. Go me.

What he said.

My parents were both youngest siblings....I think. I know my mother was... my fathers side of the family no one talks about family. We don't see family... we don't talk to them... we don't know their history... complete disconnection outside of immediate you live with or you were born by family...

Father - much like me... every drug he could ever possibly get his hands on... major problem with cocaine. Still smokes weed to this day.

Mother - 7 years younger than my father and had me at 19... that should say something.... if not... she was heavy into whatever for the most part... but had her limits. Got pregnant with me so she could straighten her life out because she couldn't do it on her own... she's stayed clean since.

I guess you could say i was addicted to weed for a couple years when i was 15 or so. Was more of a near daily habit

 

[imperialismwow]

i'm the oldest and have never really been addicted to anything. my little brother is still in high school, i'm pretty open with him and he started doing drugs earlier than i did but i think (hope) he'll be able to avoid addiction... we both had pretty good, loving childhoods and consistent support. there does seem to be a correlation between birth order & personality, with people i know and in my family too. the older child is more responsible, the younger more fun.

This is definitely true for me.

My older (Half, but it always felt like full to me) brother was always the successful, smart one. I know he experimented with weed and a few other drugs (Speed I think?) in his teens, but it never became a problem for him. He went to uni and got a great job and is now working overseas for the embassy, and will most likely be a politician one day. Good on him.

Me on the other hand, dropped out of school and occasional use of drugs but have a tendency to go overboard occasionally. (Mainly with weed and OC's when I used to be able to get them). I'm going alright though, but I doubt I will be as successful as my brother...It sucks living in his shadow.

The true is the same for my Dad (Not the Dad of my half brother though, hmm?) also, he was the youngest out of like 4 brothers and a sister. He was always the mischievous/shunned kid and got himself into a big speed habit when he was older. Had a bit of a rough life and the like, but is going okay now (Clean, except for weed I think).

Coincidence? Dunno.

 

[footscrazy]

I'm the oldest and the only one whose ever had a problem with drugs. I can tell my brothers have a different personality in terms of this just by the way they drink - socially, not to get blasted like I always have.
I'm also the least responsible out of all of us!

 

[btrswiet7u4ia]

Only and part time perfect, part time fuck up...

being the only just means you have to hide everything better.

I'm the oldest, the smartest and the fuck up. Although I've unfucked up pretty well. Go me.

Same as . Only, perhaps a little less successfully unfucked.

edit - nevermind im fried right now

 

[mushi mushi 88]

I'm the youngest and have caused all the trouble in the family, I have an older brother and sister who both smoke the little bit of pot but nothing compared to me, my brother only likes to smoke bush as well.

My brother use to use a bit of heroin when he was 19 or 20 or something but hasn't touched anything since and he is all against other drugs and tell's me all the time.

My sister smokes hydro only on some weekends and pretty much never dose anything else she has tried a pill twice I think and wants to try acid one day but every time I offer her it she doesn't want to do it.

 

[chrlefxtrt]

I am the oldest and am currently "dependant" on oxycodone. I developed a pretty wicked addiction back in 2003 when I broke my back. At one point I was taking 14 to 16 10mg lortabs a day (my liver is fine). I currently take 3 10mg percs a day, and on weekends i take about 6-7 a day. (Back surgery doesn't always work).

My brother found out about pillsnot b/c of me (I blend in well), but b/c of my dad. He takes 6-10mg lortabs, 4-10mg valium, 4-10mg cyclobenzaprine, and 2-150mg trazadone a day (he also brags on being sober for thrity yrs and goes to AA every day (he is an addict that shit drives me crazy).

I caught my brother stealing my dads pills one day (that's what I was going to do but didn't tell him) and bitched him out. He occasionaly smokes pot and drinks, but I have yet to see how he will react to college (fingers crossed).

Oh addiction runs in my family, my great grandma died from a bowel impaction.

Now that I am "under control" my life is good. I don't want to mess it up, so I am careful.

(sorry for the super long post)

 

[opiphoria]

I am the oldest and have a history of addiction to opiates.I have two younger brothers one 21 and the other 15. The 21 year old is somewhat of binge drinker and goes on these crazy drunk sprees like pissing on plants in police stations and getting arrested for it. The 15 year old i'm not sure how he's going to turn out. My parents are both the youngest from their sibs. my mother has been on benzos for years for anxiety.My father has always been a drinker but most recently has acquired a taste for opiates

 

[toolazy2think]

Middle child

As far as drugs i'm the only one who's used at all with a recent problem with addiction (although as my lil bro gets older I wouldn't be shocked). I guess i'm more reckless and less "responsible" than my older brother, but my little brother will probably be worse than me in both aspects, at the very least responsibility. I hope he doesn't get into drugs as I have though.
