Does anybody else find it hard to hold down a job being a drug user

[nznity]

Its just so hard sleeping 1 hour per night the depression so crippling and you driving a wide load with escort drivers one saw me crying at the wheel and radioed whats wrong had to say my grandfather passed away . There is a reason those proper rehabs people pay for are a few months your not ready to do a home detox and 5 days later go to work physically and mentally you are exhausted

Rehabs here are totally different than in the states, they are more like lil military boot camps. They are 12 step based too but the difference is that they think addiction is a MORAL FAILURE AND YOU SHOULD BE PUNISHED FOR IT. In the cheapest ones they hit u, the food is shit, abuse u psichologically pretty bad and lock u up with chains and lockpads.
There was an incident years ago that caught alot of media attention back in 2009, where the residents/patients got fed up of all the abuse and set up their mattresses on fire. The motherfucking asshole who run the place got on his truck and run away from the place without releasing the people. The whole place burned down to pieces with the people locked up inside, needless to say they all died.....
The owner went to jail and someone stabbed him to death there. Fkn karma man.
I was in a more expensive one but the treatment was pretty similar, they just didn't hit me but the psychological damage was horrible though, they made me do pretty degrading stuff like cleaninh the floor with a toothbrush, spend the whole night staring at a cross that was on the wall with 1 Bible on each hand with my arms extended and many other things that fkn traumatized the ppl thst were with me.
The success rate was 3%......needless to say I relapsed 3 days after I got out of there after spending 9 months there. I didn't complete the whole treatment, it was 16 months....
Juez I'll stop there otherwise I'll have a fkn nightmare tonite. Those places should be fkn closed down.

Seems like the ones in punjab they beat the cunt out of you and tie you to the bed. Parents there the same lock the room give beatings and let the poor addict scream in agony .

9 fucking months fuck me you must have gone crazy whats the first thing you do when out relapse . I think the whole abstinance based approach is wrong for a lot of addicts look at studies where they prescribed the drug . What use is that approach with someone like me i hate normal life 31 out of 46 years i have done drugs i dont know drug free normal life as anm adult. How is staring at a cross get you better when knowing your family's suffering is not enough


I understand how you was treated my culture thinks addicts the word they use Amli are weak while the drinking culture celebrated as manly . Soon as you got out of that hellhole you wanted peace and comfort which the gear provided one size not fit all

Wow man, that is heavy. It sounds like a terrible place to be.
What country are you from, if you don't mind me asking?

Yeah it was hardcore man and fucking pointkess too. I've cleaned a fucking lunatics piss with my bare hands(it was a crazy mofo who robbed Banks but got into rehab to not go to jail). There were ppl from all social económica status from really poor ppl to mid class(I was in this group) and some ppl were pretty wealthy(they paid more). The treatment was shit nonetheless, 3% success rate, almost every one relapsed but these fuckers manipulated the parents minds telling them that relapse is part of the process(it actually is but in this case people relapsed cause they're treatment was garbage, put too much psychological pressure on ppl and they relapsed almost immediately after they got out) so the parents would put them in this place again. It was a pretty good business for em, profiting off of peoples misery and suffering....I had two 9 months stints in this fkn prison. It ws so bad it's been 8 years and I still hold animosity towards my dad. Each stint cost like 6000-8000 dollars. What a fucing waste of money. Both times I relapsed after 3 days but after the 2nd one I stopped doing cocaine for years with minor relapsed.
@Señor Moreno this was in Lima,Perú South America.

Holding down a job or trying to go to college/university, is doable in the beginning stage of using. I considered myself a functioning heroin addict. Graduated college, had jobs. Inevitably shit goes south. Part of why I continued to use, was that I thought I had it all together. Like, man, I'm working, have a roof over my head, never going to be like those "other drug users". The kind that pawn anything not nailed down, and maybe nailed down too?! That rob their loved ones. That can't keep employment because they're junk sick. Shit. That became me at year 6, I think. I would push a fucking lawn mower down several blocks, just to get $20.
The worst was trying to get an old school TV, the tube kind, into my fucking car. I almost gave up drugs that day. That fucker would not obey!!! So, yeah, I became
one of "those users". And having a serious heroin addiction is a job in and of itself. 24/7. That is the job I should be getting a pension for Never missed a day!

I got so wrapped up talking about the roofing company that I forgot to share my experiences working while high.

The first job I had where I would do this was in college. For two summers I did light maintenance and turnover painting at an apartment complex. The owner/landlord was clueless. Me and this other guy would blaze bud on our lunch breaks and even sneak off while on the clock and smoke in empty units. I lived on the property so we would also run up to my apartment and smoke. I never smoked so much weed in my life and it was at work every day. Of course painting walls and weed eating and fixing shit was easy, mindless work so a good buzz made the job that much more enjoyable.

Fast forward a few years and I had a job at a big box home improvement store doing retail sales. I'd blaze up every day before work there too. But this job was with the public and management was always around so I think they got wise to what I was doing. One morning they asked me to operate a reach truck to remove a pallet from the top shelf like 30 feet up. I knew if I knocked anything over or broke something, I'd be drug tested and fired immediately. I tried to get out of it by complaining that I was hungover even though I was actually high as shit. Anyway to their surprise, I pulled it off without a single problem. lol. I was that good with the reach truck, order picker, and forklift. Of course this just solidified that even when high, I could successfully do my job so it did not deter me from continuing to come to work high.

The only time I used hard drugs while employed, I was waiting tables and had been experimenting with IV black tar H. One day I was scheduled to work a double shift but when I went on my lunch break, I met up with some friends and we went to rig up and I completely forgot I had to be back at work in an hour. I learned that day that the restaurant had a zero tolerance policy for no call/no shows and I was fired.

They think we opi addicts are some lazy fuckers....if only they knew how hard we work for dope when you're actively using. Shittt, they'd be amazed. The gorilla on our backs never rests.

Those places should be called Addiction Inducement Facilities. They seem practically DESIGNED to send you back to your habit , and go at it harder. Fuck, put somebody who's never done drink or drugs in one of those places, and I guarantee they'll come out desperately WANTING to drink & drug just to cope with the horrendous experience.

Hahaha yeah, being a junkie is a full-time job, and a hard one at that (plus the anti-social hours xd).

PS 'actively using' has always been a nonsense phrase to me. Like how the fuck could you be 'passively using'. You either are or you're not

This is so fucking true!! We are a bunch of creative, entrepreneurial, balls to the wall, fucking HUSTLERS!!!! If only I could channel that shit into something healthy,

I could rule the world. But I'm too tired and too busy chasing my fix.

You passively use all the time, when you're looking at other ppls veins or fantasizing to shoot up. Uve already relapsed on ur mind before u do in real life so it makes a lot of sense to me actually xd.
