I think I may have posted this story elsewhere, but I think it belongs here too, although I felt more stupid than embarrassed.
My dealer came though to my job with some bags of dope, and since it was busy I went to sniff some in his car really quick. Right when he pulled up I hopped in the back seat (his gf was sitting shotgun) and dumped a few bags out onto my pack of cigarettes which I was using as my sniffing surface. Right as I sniffed them I looked to my right and noticed a family (husband, wife, 1 young kid) had just witnessed me sniffing it since they had been walking up past us from behind.
Right then I said to my dealer "damn, I picked the worst possible time to sniff my dope" at which time I noticed his window (which was closest to them as they were just passed that part of the car) was wide open, and they undoubtedly just heard me say that. So then I said "damn, I picked the worst possible time to say that I picked the worst possible time to sniff my dope." Luckily I don't think that they knew I worked there, and I didn't have to see them again for the remainder of the night.
LMFAO.. Literally laughed my ass off.
I had 4 1/2 months 100% clean of all substances once, and I was living in a halfway house.. Me and my "buddy" got to talking and kicked in our cravings and worse judgement.. So we went around town trying to find bath salts, or spice, or anything that I could use to avoid popping hot on a UA. Finally we found some "body powder" shit at this headshop for like $44.99/.5 g.. I still had online sources but as any addict knows when the craving is on, it's on... I wasn't about to wait 3 days for the mail to come.
I bit the bullet, and bought a vial, and we went outside and sat on the pavement, and pretty much split it into 2 more or less even rockstar lines right as a family was putting quarters into a parking meter.
My friend reassured me that "this ain't no teletubbies shit! this is Austin! we snort drugs in front of families in broad daylight!"
The family looked on in horror, and the soccer dad guy shoo'd his kids along.
not having felt the effects of drugs in almost 5 months, we start to stroll and placebo hits me good and hard. it felt like.. basically, snorting a Wellbutrin. a little different, ALLLLLLLMOST THERE, but not quite..
of course, my "buddy" convinces me we just need more.. Dropped $110 that day and didn't even get high.
Life sucked that day. We ended up getting drunk off mouthwash.
