How open are you about your drug use? Who knows you use drugs?

General opiate use, even if it's casually taking codeine, is often frowned upon by the majority of society. Why? Because that's how they grew up. They grew up with the knowledge that Heroin is the quintessential drug for thieving dead-beats. However, I'm sure most opiate users are no such things - it's just a stereotype placed on us. I keep my casual use a secret to people, however I tell people who I trust; such as drug users. Most of the people around me who don't do drugs don't really have the mental capacity to alter their perception of a heroin user, unfortunately.
 
everybody knows im a user and a few know i used to sell. even told my mom, who is not ok with it at all . my eyes give it away mostly. i tell my emploies dont call me im high...i dont flont it but if u ask ill tell u, i dont drink im a bud smoker yo lol
 
The only people who know about it are the people I get high with and my dealers...ha. After having to straight up leave cities and towns after people found out about me—the stigma of being a heroin addict just overshadowing everything I did, even when trying to be clean, I made a point to keep it under wraps from then on. When I was a kid I used to think I was just so bad ass for being a heroin addict, so I didn't try and hide it as much as I should have... now, living in the real world, trying to work, and interacting with normal people, I know what would happen if people found out..ha. It's not something society looks to keenly upon. All of my dealers have instructions to keep my involvement with them secret, I only use with people outside of my social circles, etc. I try and keep both lives separate now after so many years. Sometimes they bleed over...
 
There was one case where I panicked, slipped, and told two people. One of them turned out to be untrustworthy, one of them was "devastated." As far as everyone knows, I'm clean, and I plan to keep it that way. If my friends find out I'm not, I'm going to get a fucking intervention for casual bi-weekly drug use.
 
no one other than my dealer knows how severe my opiate addiction is. plenty of my close friends will blow a 30mg roxy with me, or split an opana maybe once a week; however, they have no idea i use every day.
 
Pretty much everyone I know knows I use drugs.
Some people look down on me for it and others don't.
Some people wonder why I do.
Then I question them why they smoke cigarettes (drug) and drink alcohol (drug) and ingest sodas and energy drinks (addictive, drugs) and drink water from their sink with Fluoride in it when it's going ot knock out all their teeth etc etc etc.

If you're going to use drugs, try and do so smartly.
It doesn't really help anything much telling everyone you know that you do drugs.
Better "don't ask don't tell".

People who don't use drugs do look down on your for it.
I think it's an undiscovered form of jealousy of the illegal and unknown for them to be honest.
they're also scared to get "high".

Society has programmed us to believe all drugs are "bad". But they teach us to ignore the drugs they feed us every day and tax us on.

I've come to find most people out there have some sort of addiction to one thing or another that I could use to counter their feelings about me using drugs.. if they'll even take the time to listen above just accusing me of being a drug user and writing me off.

& that right there is the problem, man. While they're smoking their cigarettes by the carton, their weed by the ounce, and guzzling their alcohol by the gallon...You can't tell them anything. Well, you could tell them, but it's going to fall on deaf ears. All three of those drugs are "socially acceptable," and have been for years. They think it's perfectly okay to smoke that joint, and bong that beer....Because society has basically told us "hey, it's not exactly healthy for you, but we don't mind. just be careful."

But as soon as you step outside of that circle of acceptable drugs, you're automatically looked down upon. Hell, in some places you're basically crucified. That dude who's on his second fifth of whiskey, is looking down his nose at you, because you do what? Some heroin? A few pills? There's no way anybody like that, is going to throw themselves into the same category of drug [ab]users, as someone who dabbles in heroin, or coke, or whatever. & honestly, it's fucking stupid.

"Oh, not only society says it's okay for me to do this, but so does the law!" Is about the only argument they ever have. & never once do they admit that the alcohol, the nicotine, etc is a drug.

TL;DR: fuck those people that I bolded.

Man, I'm really sorry if none of that makes sense. I'm geeked as fuck, and it all made sense in my head. Hopefully, it translated to paper that way. Lol.

All right, back to the topic at hand. How open am I about my drug use? The people that need to...

Now, I'm very open...since I'm trying to get off of opiates. So I'm just being very open & honest with the people that I need to be. Close friends, my family, and my girlfriend. Shit is rough, man. I don't like seeing the disappointed look on their faces. Shit kills me, it really fucking does.

But before I decided to get clean, only my dealer and the people I was using with knew I did drugs. I kept that shit a secret for-fucking-ever. On some double-life shit.
 
Well my mother knows about my hard drug use now. Well not all of it and nor how bad its been. I told her I have recently tried crack and was doing heroin for a few months but stopped some point in march. I figured I had to. She knew something was up... Just not what and she found one of my hallowed out pens. She was like I found it and wondered if I saw powder in it. Yet, she still didn't have a clue of what it was and of course I lied to her. I just couldn't lie to her anymore though... She told me I could tell her anything and so I did. She was just shocked I would try it but she surprisingly wasn't angry and doesn't even talk about it. She just says I need to enroll back into school cause I need to have something to do. Then maybe I won't spend a lot more time doing things I probably shouldn't be doing.... Too bad school never really helps either way with my drug addictions.

All I can say is I told my sister, mother and two close friends. My friends only know the true extent though but I won't let anyone else find that out. Everyone was like I can't believe you told your mom but it really wasn't a big deal to me. I'm eighteen now and support myself. The place I live in is neither my mom's or mine. So its not like I could be kicked out or really have been given any consequences.
 
I'm only open with other people that use, otherwise I'd be cast out like a "leper" as someone above very accurately stated.
 
Friends have an "idea" I use heroin - i refuse to confirm (or deny, for that matter).

My xanax addiction is legendary and the butt of many jokes. I actually steal them from my mother who has had to put a lock on her closet door which I found the key and immediately duplicated. ("Never Trust A Junkie"- nancy spungen)

NO ONE knows I smoke crack. People know I do coke, sure, but crack is top secret. And I love it.

The 2 or three friends I do drugs with are very discreet because they feel the same way. I respect their privacy as well.

Bonus: Of all the people in the world, my shrink knows because I get those "Suicide Tuesdays" or whatever you call the super comedown after the weekend and freak out and call him all crying and shit. I'm a dumbass. My mother has to keep my Adderall hidden and she presents it to me each morning with a glass of water. I can't be trusted, according to the shrink - and you know what? It's probably true in one sense.

So no, I am not really open about my drug habit at ALL.
 
Im pretty open about it, most friends and people who know who I am, know I take drugs. Only my family and a few others don't know I do it, again.. :)
