Are you a successful drug user?

IV meth user,
Have a good paying job
A loving great relationship
and on my way to a bigger apartment
so I would like to think Im just as succesfull as the next guy
(:
 
Depends on what sucess means to you.

I became a lawyer, been admitted to the bar in two countries, have two master degrees, and next week I'll start a new job at the ministry of foreign affairs in the country where I live. Hopefully I'll do well there. I'm not making the amount of money I want to make yet and that frustrates me but fr someone who's been doing drugs on and off since age 15 its not to bad for now, I try to tell myself hehe =D
 
Let's see. Stopped showing up at college because I was too desensitized from my drug use and "didn't give a fuck anymore". That's what I get from copious amounts of speed and alcohol every day of the week.

Can't really blame it on drugs though can I? It's all me. I fucked up. Drugs were just the catalyst and the enabler.

Difficult to answer, I am definitely much more successful than the average drug user, but I am still not where I want to be.

Totally agree here.

I'm currently in University with a bright future, I live very well financially and have good relationships with others. Drugs definitely contribute to me missing class sometimes though because of much altered sleeping patterns lol. And then I try to use drugs to fix them and that backfires -_-. But I make up for it and am doing fine.

I drink 4-5 days a week. Opiates 3-4 days a week. Adderall 3-4 days a week (helps with school, to ironically make up for what drugs hurt I guess? haha). And ~2 week binges of Valium or Xanax every month or two.
And the weekends are wildcards with anything random to be possibly added to the mix!
 
I can be. Last year I got a 3.75 GPA, while maintaining on a bundle of heroin a day, and a pretty heavy Xanax habit. If it wasn't for the cocaine though, I might not have been able to stay up so late to finish all those projects. Then again, I'm an art student, so it's really not to hard to do good if you're somewhat talented. I think if you have discipline, you can get along okay while being high 24/7. It's really when i started stealing outrageous amounts of money and ending up in the hospital that it started to affect my routine haha. If I had a trust fund or something I think I would do okay though, cause I'd buy pharmaceutical opioids instead of heroin, they never give me asthma attacks.
 
I'm a successful drug user in the sense I haven't died from it yet.

Personally, I've been through a lot when it comes to drugs. I'm only 20, I haven't had any hard addictions besides a 2 year long Opiate habit, but I know what it's like to be addicted to drugs. I feel even though I'm not addicted to them physically anymore, I still am mentally. Though, I don't think it's the drugs fault. It's one reason I hate when people say drug addiction is a disease. It's not a disease, it's a choice. A drug user chooses to get high, while a cancer patient didn't choose to have cancer.

Everyone has their fix though. Some people smoke cigarettes, some people drink a glass of wine at the end of the day. Some even rely on coffee or other forms of caffeine to get by. It's human nature to desire a change in our perception of reality. That's how it is for me, that's how I imagine it is for everyone else. It's fun, it's exciting, it's dangerous, it's all sorts of things. For some people, including me, I think it really comes down to a desire to self destruct. Some people do it to just feel good, some people do it because they hate themselves and want to not give so much of a fuck.
 
I tend to think I am yes. A lot of people who don't know me well think/would think "Omg that guy is such a druggie" if they heard about/saw me do coke. I think there is a difference between a user and abuser. Yes I use coke and speed pills (sometimes on a frequent basis, at least once a week). But hey, I'm enrolled in university, my car is always paid for, my phone is always paid for, I'm never hungry, and I have an extremely secure job (they begged me to stay when I said I was going to quit a few months back and bent backwards to meet my needs).

I'd be pretty content with this life without the drugs. Add some coke and speed into the mix, and it only gets better right?
 
yes i go to university and i will become a lawyer next year. i use drugs in moderation like on a special occasion only. i don't find drugs addicting at all like the media says. i think its because i like being in reality most of the time but on a special event i like to be out of reality. i find that alcohol is worst than any illegal drug and many people are brainwashed into thinking alcohol is the best drug to use to have fun when they just get sick and vomit. on drugs we never feel like that. long live drugs

This is one of the best posts I've ever come across on my short time on this site! This is good news for those like me who live in a state (mainly Northern, all of the Midwest if I'm not mistaken and some Southern; ie most of the country) who have no "carry law" I believe it is called. Basically this means if I get pulled over and a roach is inside a wadded up McDonald's bag shoved inside a garbage bag that I'm driving to the dump when I got pulled over, depending on the number of offenses I could go to jail.

I never dreamed I'd come across a future lawyer who openly admits to using and also can be responsible. A few Politicians should have taken notes from you on how to not expose that you're doing something frowned upon while the entire country judges. Some many people are "all or nothing" when it comes to drug use. We either need to ban all drugs from all homes in all countries (Okay, impossible...Just ask Mexico if they're willing to let the Government take away 70ish% of their Nations income.) or allow all drugs circa the 1970's and have children, teens, and adults with "Tune in, Turn off, Drop out" mentality. Not entirely a bad way to go buy when sociaty as a whole, namely people in charge of our ecomonic and other futures as a country can't read the budget cause "The shrooms are fire Obama!" Then that's a problem.

Didn't really have a point, I just wanted to let you know that some one out there is happy to see a person of "power" (Cause lawyer's have quite a bit) That's not a puppet or conformist.

Also, I may need to move to your state between now and next year. I have one more possession violation and I'm done....Okay 30 days with possible (definate cause I'm good ;) probation given and a 2 week release. But still....blah! :)
 
I did my whole undergrad while addicted to oxy adn dope at the end.. Had a core GPA of 3.7 and a gpa of 3.2. Not great but not horrible.. and considering i was high 24/7 on weed as well, I think I did quite well to graduate a state university. Got a diploma and even a citation commendation and praise from the stae of NJ for scholastic attainment in 2007. And i did nto have 1 single day off weed or opiates during those 4.5 years.

I also had a good job and money to support my habit from a $15k settlemen.. if I was in withdrawals all the time I woulda fucked school up..but being able to stay high saved me even though I finished with a load of debt lol. Atleat ig to my diploma becuase i sure as fuck would have done absolutely nothing productive during that time.. becuase i havnt int he past 4 yars of my life when I couulda gotten a masters easily.
 
I believe the key to being successful is to be happy with your life at the present w/o the drugs making you happy.........what I mean is plenty of money, decent job, girlfriend or wife if you choose (someone to share your ups & downs, partner in crime if you will)........& the drugs are just a bonus to escape reality & feel even better than before. If you're doing drugs to escape the harsh reality of something bad you've done, or maybe you owe lots of money to someone, etc, etc.......the drugs wont be as fun & you will have too much anxiety.

I tell people, try doing drugs w/o having any anxiety to begin with, its awesome...............but im sure most people that do opiates have some kind of anxiety problem, thats why they are doing them...............
 
Not entirely...
I can be sneaky and get away with using, but when I'm using regularly, my attitude and work ethic are greatly affected.
I think it's because I have trouble with moderation, and when I have something like marijuana or Ketamine, I'll do it until it's gone without even giving consideration to my priorities.
 
I think so. I have wonderful BF. I'm a licensed physician in a surgical speciality. I live in a nice house. I am good health. I am a commissioned officer in the Reserve Army. What more, by normal standards of success could I ask for?

But I do have one hell of an opiate addiction.
