Are you a successful drug user?

I take opiates everyday and work full time and go to school part time. I don't drink much but occasionally do other substances. I am getting A's and constantly get good reviews at work, which is beyond me considering the amount of time I spend on Bluelight...
 
I have been recreationally using opiates for several years and have developed no physical addiction due to the fact that I stop as soon as any signs of moderate tolerance develop, and I wait for the tolerance to drop back down to lower levels before using again. So I think I have been fairly successful with my drug use. As far as a career, I don't consider myself successful yet. I do have a high level position in the company I work for and get paid a good salary. I can go out and spend over $100 on dinner and it won't hurt much. However, to me it seems that success is happiness. I am not happy yet. I think that time will come when I launch and grow my own business to the point that it can pay for the things that I want while at the same time I have time for the people I love.
 
I suppose I am successful by society's standards. I go to college as a journalism major and I usually partake in illegal drugs every day or at least every other day. I know I am successful by my standards because I am doing what I love - playing in a successfull rock n roll band that has a bright future. as long as I don't go back to my heroin habit I should keep all this up.

Wait a minute... I have never heard of a successful journalism major... I smell a liar...

j/k;)

what band are you in? I would love to check it out. I am also a musician, audio engineer and producer, although I cannot find work in that field.. :(
 
im a daily drug user... and i get along with my life fine, got a girlfriend who accepts it with a well earning online business.

So yeah, i guess im successful "druggie"
 
Daily drug user. Good job, decent wage, good prospects, nice home(rental), well travelled, holding it together better than a lot of normies.

Am I successful?

By some people's standards, sure.

By mine? No.

Money and possessions are not how I define myself. Trouble is that I don't know how I define myself. Once I do then I will be successful.

It could be a family, a change of vocation, anything . . Im sure that I will know when I get there;)
 
I'd like to say my success in the drug world is a direct result of bluelight, no questions asked. Frankly the only way I think me or any of my friends haven't woken up in a ditch or the hospital is cause of this place.

Thanks BL!

Seriously, if this place ever falls under legal question and need some testimonies, call me up. Harm reduction? More like prevention in my case.
 
As of now I am a successful drug user, and I completely agree with your assesment of forums like this. Right now, I'm a senior in high school with a 3.15 career GPA and I've a full ride scholarship to a JUCO to play guitar in the jazz band, and then after that I'll probably get a scholarship to a music school.

So really, if all goes according to plan, not only will I be a successful drug user, I will be LIVING THE DREAM! %)
 
I'm a highschool dropout that works at subway. so ummm no, no I am not. I also live in my moms basement and am joining the canadian army.(w00t w00t for dual citezenship)
 
the only reason i dont consider myself a successful drugs user is because ive been arrested for drug charges, without that i can ace school, and perform perfectly fine at work, even exceptionally well
 
i am an extremely successful drug user, as i am rarely NOT successful in getting high.
 
I made it through high school with a 3.87GPA (31-ACT, 1390-SAT) using meth for the majority of my senior year. I graduated high school and kicked the shards simultaneously and was accepted at a private college with ~75% of my tuition covered via scholarships and grants.

By the end of my freshman year I had failed 3/8 courses and was on academic probation (but boy did I have a lot of fun). My freshman year was occupied by non-stop reefer, frequent drinking, and occasional cocaine, MDMA, or psychadelics. I returned to the same college this past fall to begin my sophmore year; but at the end of september I relapsed on meth and used crystal via IV for the first time. Seven weeks later I was leaving school as a full-blown needle-freak on medical leave (all "W"s on my transcript) to voluntarily go through a 28 inpatient treatment program.

I completed my treatment; but refused my aftercare reccomendation to move down the hall to the, "extended care" inpatient unit for another 3 months. Within 50hrs of my discharge I was sitting on the bathroom floor of my dealer's house next to a used needle and a bag of shards. Two days later I ODed intentionally; but survived w/o any medical attention. I used ~7 more days before the end of December and then, voluntarily, moved into a sober-house two days after New Yrs Eve. Lived there for 1.5 months, only employed for a week of that time, relapsed into a 4-day tweekend mid Feb effectively getting myself ousted from the sober house (I actually did want to move out anyways) and moved back in with my parents. Since then I have only used meth twice, MDMA/LSD a few times, opiates once, and smoked pot more days than not. I am working again at a job that is one of the best/flexible/good-paying jobs I've had since I turned 12.

In the beginning I was a very successful drug-user, then at college I failed to exert sufficient self-control and was not a successful drug user, IV drugs really took me further out of control than I thought I could ever become; but now I have many good reasons to stay alive, keep my shit in order, and get back to college next fall. So currently (so far), I am a successful drug user.
 
Finishing up year two of my chem degree.

Im currently involved in a long term relationship with codeine.
 
Well, I did have 1 year of nearly fucking up because of too much drug use. But, I've pulled things around now, and now holding an A avg at Univ, have had two great summer jobs that will most likely lead me to being hired there full time once I graduate.

I have a great relationship with my parents, and in a long-term stable relationship with a nice circle of friends. I'm often told by other people that "your the only person I dont worry about, I know that your set"
 
Been in college for 2 years now. I work full time and make good money, I also roll a ton and rave my ass off.
 
Nope, not been successful at all. I was for a while, but then I fell off. I don't think it pisses me off that so many of you claim to be "successful drug users" if that's truely the case right now, I've just witnessed the exact opposite from staying in the scene for 7 years or so and it pisses me off that some people know that the majority of daily users aren't successful and still try to throw up this glamorous facade. I guess everyone has their individual experiences, that's just not what I've personally experienced nor has it been my observation of those daily users around me. I would venture to say that the majority of the people I see using on a daily basis are ultimately unsuccessful. I started using early on in high school and by sophomore year I was using on a daily basis. I maintained a 3.8 GPA throughout the whole time I was in high school. I was taking honors classes and graduated a little early with a scholorship to UGA. After being at UGA for a while and maintaining a 3.6 GPA I got deeper in the scene, got involved in a lot of stuff, and my focus started shifting from my responsibilities to other things and problems created primarily from my drug use and/or involvement in the scene.

My grades started dropping, I started getting in legal trouble, I had some health issues, and was involved in a lot of drama. This all didn't start happening until I'd been using on a daily basis for over 4 years. Since then I've dropped out of school, overdosed 3 times, been arrested and thrown in county jail 4 times, served a prison sentence, gone through a rehabilitation center, and ruined a lot of relationships that meant a whole lot to me. I could tell you about hundreds of kids I grew up with and kids I've met while going to school that have similar, if not worse stories. I'm not going to lie to you and tell you that there haven't been a few people that I haven't seen fall off yet because there have been. It's just been my observation with a whole lot of people and my personal experience that daily users don't go on like that forever without it causing serious problems that usually lead to the downfall of their success.
 
Absolutely, yes, I'm a successful drug user (after 22 years of practice).

I have a responsible, high stress job, make a good salary, feed cats and fish, have a garoovy apartment, a lovely bf, am healthy (went for a full checkup the other day), have savings, take lots of mini-holidays - i take acid, e, meth and coke. Never take any of them over longer than a 3 day period and will then take a long break. eg. my meth use consists of binging on 1 gram (yeah, i know huge binge, lol) for 3 days, then not doing it again for at least 3 months.

been this way for several years now. Think part of the help to controlling myself IS the fact that I have a SERIOUS job that I take seriously - very rarely take anything on weekdays. And as I'm getting older, have to factor in recovery periods as well... so Friday nights are generally party night, leaving 2 days for ancient body to recover by Monday.. and make sure to drink water, eat veg, vitamins, all that boring stuff
 
what does that mean?

i guess so... i smoke pot on the daily and still go to school...

or do you mean have i retained the ability to successfully use drugs (they still feel good or w/e)?

cause then im successful in that also :) i dont fuck with opiates or pills or anything though really
