Hi I've been wandering these halls regularly for a decade or more registered in 06 but until now I've refrained from posting. why wait till now? simply because I made the decision way back to not contribute while using/abusing knowing exactly what I'm like at times whilst loaded, obnoxious, self righteous, and not particularly an asset to a harm reduction forum, so I managed to stick to my own deal with myself until I was prepared to give all my demons the arse and start the recovery process and that time is now so hi nice to become part of BL society :-)
 
September 2006... Woah!

Sounds like you got your attitude problem sorted out, hah! %)

As I'm sure you know, BL's a great forum with a wealth of knowledge! What are you recovering from if you don't mind me asking?
 
Don't mind you asking at all, Meth has always been my doc but being open minded and such I gave all the stimulants a good chance and a fair portion of psychedlics too over the past 20 or so years, opiates however I never really warmed to... prior to drugs I was an alcoholic
 
Ah okay, I'm sorry to hear you've had a rough run in with drugs.

What's your current state on habitual use/addiction to any drugs?
 
I don't think of my drug usage negatively as a whole, it's no doubt impacted negatively on my life in lots of ways financially in particular however the path I was on prior to drug use would have ended my marriage for certain , drugs use mdma specifically without a doubt saved my relationship with my wife of 23 years as it was something we both enjoyed and started doing together, not to sensationalise drug use by any means but it served an important purpose for our relationship and we both continued to experiment with an array of substances together for years. it was only meth that took a hold on us both until 2010 or there abouts when we found ourselves daily users and enevitably things took a downhill turn, since 2010 we tapered from daily use to weekends then to 1 night a week only with the occasional binge, Xmas last year we decided to stretch it to fortnightly usage and kept that going until 6 weeks ago when we decided to quit altogether or atleast attempt it.. so far so good but I'm not foolish enough to think relapses can be triggered without warning. I however still smoke week at night
 
I've been a lurker for quite some time myself and just getting around to registering. Cheers to officialdom!
