I hear you loud and clear buddy. I needed to be on Heroin to run a classroom of children. It gave me the feeling that nothing could hurt me. It enabled me to be completely free of my own insecurities and motivations so I could tap right into the head of each child. I could see and download every kid's facial expression, analyze it and throw something back at them, keeping everyone engaged. Heroin made me capable of anything.
Heroin enabled me to do things like that, but it took literally everything else in my life. I could do anything I wanted to do accept love another person or experience love. I couldn't look at myself and feel any level of respect or pride, as Heroin was propping me up and I owed all of my success to it. I got to the place in my life where Heroin was about to take my personality and my soul, but I stopped before getting there. I was starting to lose those things though.
What you're describing, your experience, please don't take this the wrong way, but it's pretty much a textbook reaction to this drug. The drug is going to enable you to be your best self, to be uninhibited, to be your truest self. In addition, you're just so good at everything now. You have a leg up on every person not using Methamphetamine.
You describe the notion of using Methamphetamine only on certain days. This is also a phase that most people will go through. I'm not a psychologist. I do believe that this phase in the process of addiction is related to specific thoughts and feelings. I believe the bargaining starts as the back of a person's mind recognizes the danger, but the denial overrides our better judgement because of how much good we believe the drug will do for us. The only solution is to try to regulate the usage.
In 99% of cases, regulation does not work. If you need an analogy, it's similar to the "pull-out method" of birth control. It's so damn simple, just take your dick out before. Millions of babies are born each year around the world as a result of the "pull out method's" seductive simplicity. Regulating your usage of Methamphetamine is similar. The pull-out method works sometimes, but people tend to keep trying to fuck and this ultimately defeats the purpose.
Look, I know I'm going to sound like an asshole, but I'm 33 now and I will try to give you some old-man knowledge about this world.
There are thousands, hell, tens of thousands of musicians around this world playing at thousands of venues, all of them feeling the momentum of the greatness of their music. They are all close to fame and the rock and roll lifestyle.
If you're not in the top 100 of all performers in the world among 8 billion people, nobody cares. You'll never be more than yet another also-ran in a cruel, unforgiving industry that is ultimately not based on artistry or beauty but upon the generation of money. They will upload 45 minute albums of cats fucking if it will make them money.
Instead, you could be a musician who is appreciated on a potentially lower level than this. You could be a musician who knows the people he is playing for. You could play for people who appreciate your art and mean something to you.
If the type of artist you want to be requires you to use Meth, then I would rethink things. Like you said, you can do things faster than anyone else. Maybe it would be better to do things at the same speed as everyone else and keep your health and your sanity.
