Um I don't live with my parents, my parents pay for my doctor visits but that's it. There is patient doctor confidentiality once you are 18 so your doc cannot legally tell your parents what medications you take.
See its not about living with them, I'm in my mid twenties and I study abroad, my parents know about my drug use because it obviously isn't something that can be hidden easily. But it's through my high school years all the way till when I got my bachelors it been a game of cat and mouse. They gave me an ultimatum before going abroad, that if I get caught using they'll basically cut me off but in a softer way. When your dependant on them for money, and even positive reinforcement in anyway it becomes difficult. I know doctors can't tell my parents but I go home three times a year, if I were to take my shit with me they'd do know for sure.
well, my parents got no say in what i can and can't do considering i'm near 27 i live with my father and we smoke weed together, done coke together, etc. and he's known about me being an injector for a fair few years now (well pretty much since i began) and although he doesn't exactly embrace it, he is tolerable. i don't go leaving dirty needles or anything of the like laying around the house which probably accounts for part of his toleration. he's also been an ex heroin junkie himself and used to get on the speed (meth) a bit back in his days. though, from what i gather he had the love for tripping on shrooms or some Lucy.
i've got a degenerative disc disease in my lumbar region - spondylolysis - so it's not too hard for me to not get an opioid script (and usually valium) from a new doctor when they have a look at my x-ray. my spondylolysis is clearly visible in my x-rays so i've a definitive diagnoses unlike quite a few people who suffer from chronic back pain yet nothing is visible with their scans, etc so for the most part aren't medicated or if they are they're usually under medicated and/or inappropriate medication.
so yeah, having a fucked back is how i manage to get all my goodies. but within a heartbeat if i could opt out of this life long back pain and everything tied into it i sure as fuck would. i'd be devastated in having to give up the meds side of the thing after the years i've had them scripted
Well see in a way you've caught a break because I assume your Aussie. All my friends who were Aussie had parents that where chillaxed as fuck. My old best mate Chrispy was from Perth, he literally used to fuck hookers with his dad, drink with him, all three of us did ketamine. I guess you catch my jist, Australians embrace life in a way, I know you can't generalize but that's what I've seen from my experience, most of them are happy irregardless of their social/financial situation in life.
I'm sorry to hear you have spondylosis. At least your making the most out of it.
Well he's a shrink and has been working with me for a few years. I filed a lawsuit against him for negligent care and ever since he seems very happy to comply with my requests. He isn't breaking any laws though by doing what he is. And he actually suggested the oxy and that methadone would be a waste if time.
So I'm now on a cocktail of dexedrine, oxy, Valium, lyrica and Xanax. So much win:
Also my mother isn't happy about it but has accepted it now. As long as I'm honest she won't touch my stuff.
Looool! Blackmail. Nice :D
You got a sick combination going on. See I'm excellent at manipulating doctors, so that's not my issue, back when I was younger I used to run into doctors offices just to grab scripts for friends, I know exactly how to act and exactly what to say (without going into details).
Your mothers also come to terms with it which my parents never will, they're lovely people, but to them they were raised at a place and age where drugs are taboo. Smoking weed = injecting heroin to them, and unfortunately the laws facilitate that mindset back home, were weed, codeine, heroin, etc have the same sentencing guidelines, 4 years minimum for possession which means just having it in your blood, so if someone has it out for you they can just point the finger and your gone into a dark place, and 20 years minimum for distribution which is as low as having a couple of grams.
Aside from tentrams medical condition, you guys got it eaaazzyy. It's like this never ending cycle where you do drugs, switch to the substance recovery, do drugs, switch to substance recovery........
