Are you a successful drug user?

Hey everyone,

I'm trying to gather some information and I'd love it if I could get some help :)

Basically I want to break the (very untrue) stereotype that everybody who uses drugs is doomed for life. Personally, I enjoy using recreationally, but I'm well on my way to becoming a doctor :) so I just had a few questions for everybody else.

What substances do you use/how often? Are you employed/in school? Any other relevant information is fine too! Thanks!

I think it has alot to do with the drug and the person. When I was smoking weed everyday all day I was very successful at my sales job, ate, slept well, and exercised almost every day. I was dependable and responsible. When I got into MDPV and APVP and meth shit got a little out of control. THankfully I am just taking vyvanse as prescribed now and I am back on track.
 
For several years. All until yesterday. Soon im unemployed, homeless and a facing charges. Hope i dont get time. This is all so confusing.... Everything just goes down the drain in a few days. Glad I have couple understanding close friends! without them and my mom i'd be god knows in how bad situation.
 
That sucks bust sorry to hear about your charges man... i know how you feel though my first two were back to back and it was like wtf happened

By the time i got the charges though my life was so far the shitter it wasnt even funny

These days ive been doing better in that im not living in a house covered in dog piss and shit though down in the shitty area of dundalk... man i dont think life could ever be that bad again, even living in my car would be preferable i think..... amd with a lot of recent events thats certainly not an impossibility to be happening within the next couple months heh
 
Employed full time (have been since I was 16 - so 5 years), have 2 degrees (working on a 3rd), and live comfortably away from my parents.

From the outside, no one would ever guess.
 
More or less. Going to college, not broke, retain a roof over my head, can obtain a job with relative ease.

Then again, I'm nowhere near as serious about my (ab)use these days. The most I take on an average day is some modafinil and (maybe) a benzo. I'm barely an illicit drug user anymore, now that I think about it. My recreational DOC is oxycodone (how original, right?), but its availability is currently prohibitive in my area.
 
I'm working on having a new career. I do not like being broke all the time. It's absolutely miserable. I had success at one point and I lost it. I had a good check and my bills were paid on time. We went out to dinner. That is all gone.

I have been able to hold onto my house because my children live with me and pay the bills I can't pay.

I have been a successful parent I guess, because I raised four kids and I love them more than anything. They love me back. They buy groceries. They smoke me out.

I did not do drugs while I was raising my(our) kids. I smoked weed right up until my first baby was born. I was so worried I would stick him with a diaper pin if I got high that I stopped smoking weed. He is 33 now. He is the only child I smoked weed with during the pregnancy and he's healthy.

I think it's good that I stopped smoking and focused in on my children. Only one of the four smokes marijuana, and she hid it from me for years. YEARS.

When I found out she smoked weed, I started smoking weed again.

I have been married to their dad for 34 years. We've got problems but we live with them, get around them, whatever.

My husband and my children are the successful aspects of my life. And we all like a xanax once in a while.;)
 
i've really been wrestling with this topic recently. i am without a doubt a more enjoyable person to be around when i am on opiates. this has been confirmed by loved-ones and close friends alike. with that said, when i am fiending absolutely no one wants to be around me. i can become very deceitful and it sucks to think about. i have really calmed down the last year or so, but i have still done some things recently that leave me shaking my head. the drug game and all of it's surroundings have a unique ability to get in your head, and make you think you have all your shit together when in reality it is falling apart in front of your own eyes.
 
I could if i pushed myself but I need to strengthen my willpower if i want to do more than a regular job my whole life
 
I'm a straight up bum at the moment, actually bumming from my rents for drug money, but that all is changing when I get hired at the gas station I used to work at. As far as being edumacated I am working on my highschool diploma and honestly who fucking knows if I'd be able to handle college haha. I'd get so fucked up with drugs going to college b/c of new hook ups and I wouldn't be able to balance drugs in my life lol.
 
I went to a very presgious English university, and I can positively say I knew more people there who did drugs than people who didn't. It was pretty much the norm. However, people were very careful not to get photographed doing anything dodgy or while their faces and jaws are torn to shreds. I expect plenty of those guys I knew will get to the very top in a few years.

I now work for a major engineering company and make good money. However, as with all drug users it got a bit out of control at one point. I think even though I was a little crazy and did crazy things, I tried to keep some level of sanity and in desperate situations had the capacity to recover.

Something I have learned over the years: to be successful in both life and in drug-taking takes a special kind of talent.
