Are you a successful drug user?

Ummm yes. So I got like the best compliment at work today. My manager was at some HR / hiring conference the other day. So she's talking to one of my coworkers about how many of the students (mostly college/uni students) at the conference were going to have a really touch time in the workplace. Then she's like, "I wish more of them had the work ethic like llama. I'd have so much more faith in the future if they were more like llama." I was like :D :D woohoo. I'm really awesome at my job. I'm a hard worker. And I love my job.
 
I've been banging dope since I was a teenager, sometimes daily, sometimes less often, plus i've done plenty of other stuff here and there. Always had good grades in school, all the ppl i've worked for like me, i have a nice apartment. I'm doing exactly what i want with my life (going to a good college and making tons of art).
Of course we all know waitressing and selling the occasional painting isn't gonna pay your bills/rent and buy you a whole lot of dope so I'll let you guys use your imagination as to what kind of job an attractive girl like me does on the side (if you knew what it paid you wouldn't be so judgement)

Oh, and everybody posting in this thread better realize how crazy lucky they have been. Without subs to help me take a break before it gets bad, or if i got arrested again, or if they hadn't lost my paper work the first time, or a million other things, my life could so easily be a mess.

For some reason there's a voice in the back of my head telling me that without drugs, I could be so much more successful. But would I be happier? I'm not quite sure. I do think that although stable, my life get's pretty stagnant when I get into this whole drug using routine and maybe if I was sober more than 0 days out of the week I would be more "successful". Whatever that means, anyways. :\:p

I've been thinking about the exact same thing , and in the almost the exact situation...not sure what to do
 
I would consider myself a successful drug user. Graduated from a 4 year university magna cum laude. Major in biology and minor in chemistry. Currently working as a lab tech in a bio-chemistry lab. Drugs have never caused me any financial issues or legal issues.

I do sometimes wonder if I would be more successful if I didn't do drugs so often or if I never started. I think not, because drugs are just another hobby to me. And if I didn't do them, that hobby would have been replaced with some other hobby just as non-productive. And then perhaps I would be wondering the same thing about that hobby....
 
I'm successful financially. But at my age you start wondering whether it was all worth it. I couldn't keep my habit going, be financially successful and be there for my family. It only in looking back do I realize I put my personal relationships and my family last.
 
i have a ba in chemistry but no job

right now i want to say no but when i tell people about my degree they appear impressed
 
I consider myself successful, raised three kids on my own, have a bachelors degree in nursing, have worked as a helicopter flight nurse and critical care/trauma nurse ...all while smoking weed, taking opiates daily, fentanyl and benzos when available, smoking, snorting, injecting, chewing whatever is available, and going through wd's countless times. You have to learn how to prioritize, always go to work and pay the bills, then play hard when you can! But, did I mention that I can't maintain a relationship due to my selfcenteredness and fascination with mind altering substances?? Oh well, I prefer my own company anyway!!

Nurse Jackie!?
 
Not at the moment, but I'm working at cutting back on my drug use so I can get my priorities straight
 
Haven't wrecked a car or fallen over in a while, and I'm maintaining a job, so I'd say yes.
 
well... i'm 22 and behind in life. People are married at this age, working etc.
I just started community college again, and am doing fairly good. Gonna transfer out once i can, and i've gone all these years with out a felony so that's good..
All in all i'm behind in life but fuck it no regrets right?
 
Still have all my limbs, and partial sanity. Not entirely broke. Under-employed, but employed. Not in jail. When I take drugs, I enjoy them greatly, and it's a lark.

Is that successful drug use?
 
considering that I am an A-B student in college with many extracurriculars, I would say yes. However, I am probably more stressed than usual due to drug usage.
 
I have been a daily user of opiates for 6 years. I have a wonderful husband, a house, a nice car and I am very successful in my career. I do think that the demands of keeping up with my career and ensuring my continued success is what has kept me shackled to my addiction for this long. From outward appearances, I would look to really have my shit together. Only I know the truth. I have had a much welcomed slow down at work and using the Thomas recipe, along with some supplements like GABA and 5-htp, I am 3 days clean. I am hoping to get to a place where outward and inward appearances of success will match.
