I dont know how yall are sayin they pick the worst addicts for these shows...most of the episodes I seen features people who really dont have that much bad of habits at all. Anybody using as little as most of them did in their addictions would be considered a real newjack kind of like "new" user where Im at. The behaviors they show that is so negative is usually becuz of other shti not related to their addictions, and it just makes them look more fucked up even tho in reality it aint from the drugs doin it. Iunno, it just seems lame to me that they think these ppl with very small, pretty controllable habits is so terribly addicted and make them look so over the top when they really aint. They are TV addicts, not 'real' addicts, at least thats how it look to me. they never get down n dirty with it other than once in a while like with that Cristy girl, but that wasnt even a dopehead and that is who I am talkin abotu mostly, opiate addicts.
All the dopeheads I seen on there uses like, baby-habit amounts of dope and aint even really that bad. They just realy over exaggerate how bad the habits is. That one kid that was addictd to shootin OC's and his mom gave him 40 bux to go get right?? If he can get right off of doin 40 bux worth of OC's his habit cant be that bad, becuz we all know that the average price for the highest dose OC's is around that amount and sometimes ten or twenty dollars more. (we dont post prices here, and I aint gonna specifically name shit, but just fort the sake of this discussion Im pointin that out.) I mean come on if you can get right with that little OC how bad is your habit really? I aint dicksizing, but im just bein objective. I been clean off dope almost 6 months now, and used OC at one point during this clean time, after not dosing my methadone for 2 days beforehand, and did 200 mg and did not even catch a nod or a noticeable high. doin 80mg was verry slight and subtle feeling but nothin near a high and if i had been sick, it wouldnt of made me better. And that is for somebody who aint a addict at all, and dont even USE, like ever. So if he is a daily addict, he must have a pretty low tolerance to be gettin right off 40 bux of OC, and "bad" addicts aint got such low tolerances, thats all Im sayin.
I feel like they dramatize the shit so much, and its retarded becuz I knwo ppl includin myself who used waaaaaay more dope than any of the ppl i ever seen on that shit, and they make the ppls on the show look sooo terrible and horribly addicted and out of control with such huge habits, OMG!! And its like damn, if yall think these people with these little bitchass habits is so bad, wtf would yall think of me and my friends?
And the interventionists is straight up DOUCHEBAGS! They are seriously retarded...They ignorant as fuck, idk where they learned their intervention schoolin from but it musta been a program that aint updated their info in the past 15 years or some shit . Or maybe they just got taught by their local NA chapter 8) But I would never even stay in the room if i got sat down with one of them assholes. No fuckin way would I let them bully me into goin to quit, ESPECIALLY IF I WASNT READY!!! Dont they fuckin UNDERSTAND that people aint gonna get clean and STAY clean if they aint ready??! You cant force somebody into that! It aint a choice, its a reaction that eventually takes place and comes over you at some time in your use, and it aint even a conscious decision. It just "clicks" when you are ready , and you know its real. You cant just say Oh i think i wanna get clean now and wait for the motivation to hit you, an djust go do a program and be fine. No it needs to be a REAL change that come from inside you, deep down, and it takes root and grows in your mind and body and thats when you ready. Not when some dickhead wannabe savior tricks me into walkin into a room of my family and guilting me and then pressuring me to leave, on the spot, right now, to go to rehab. IM honestly suprised at how many of the addicts on there says yes to the intervention. I guess they dont get the money if they dont say yes or somethin. cuz seriously, I would NOT take too well to that , and i dont know nobody that would, neither. Its jus sickening to me how its all "OK" for them to peer pressure the addicts, but they talk so much shit about people who use drugs around the addict and "pressure" him or her to keep gettin high instaed of encouragin them to get clean. Its mad hypocritical. I hate the show, ony time i ever watched it was when I coudl shoot dope while wwatching it, ha ha assholes. Other than that, never....Way too much, super self righteous, uppity, holier than thou mutha fuckas preaching to somebody who aint even really addicted that bad and makin it sound like they on some deaths-door shit just becuz they shoot dope every other day, damn.
Not only that, but the majority of the people has had all these fucked up type situations in their lifes becuz they are STUPID, and aint got no idea of harm reduction or responsiblity. Almost every episode is about some upper middle class person or a person who is fairly well off money wise. I aint seen many of them from poor or ghetto families who is really suffering financially. Its these kids who has money and been raised by permissive parents who dont know how to keep their kids in check, and enable and give them money then come bitchin and cryin when their kids grow up to be junkies and rob them blind for their dope money. and the kids go out and do all this foolish, dumbass shit cuz they never got a good beating as a child and never learned shit about how to act , and they go out actin all crazy, straight up wilin out for the cameras and shit to show how "bad" their habits is, but half the time it aint even that they doin or have to do it becuz of they habit, its just that they are attention seekers who dont or wont take advantage of their situation in life bein a pretty comfortable one, and instead they go out and try an act like they some kind of badass outlaw junkie when they come home every night to a nice, plush, cushy bed and happy family in a nice middle class housing development .
It jus pisses me off- I dont think i ever seen any person who is a "real" junkie and by that i mean a person who seems like a real person not someone fronting for the camera and tryin to make themself look "bad" , and of course the show producers is tryna make them look bad too, it aint just the addicts. But I aint seen nobody who is really deep in, suffering, using insane amounts of dope/watever, broke, out on the run, livin in they car, about to get locked up and go to jail, etc etc etc...its always this kind of stereotypical "nice girl/guy" addict, from wat I seen. Now I admit i aint seen alot of episodes. And alot of the ppl who is alcoholics , or addicts of shti that aint heroin or meth or crack, they are real over the top, but its nutz becuz other than the alcohol, they aint even on drugs that really hooks you! I mean the DXM kid--come the fuck on!!! And the alcoholics, who aint seen that before, come on that aint even interesting to watch. And wat about the 'RAGE ADDICT" they had on there? Or the eating disorder chick?? Shits weak! they just tryna sensationalize everything, make everything into some kind of dramatic-ass addiction. its straight dumb.
I wannna see junkies like I use to be on there, fuckin, hustling Boost minutes on the corner in paterson, pushin bricks to the suburban junkies, goin into paterson 2 or 3 times a day sometimes. Smoking crack in the car on the drive back up route 80 while they shoot up in the car. people booting 8, 9 , 10 bags in one shot, doin 5, 6 shots a day with 7 bags in the shot, people who destroy a brick in barely a day n a half. People who walk up and down the hottest blocks in the hood, corners where you can buy mac-10's from the gun runners who stands out there with the dope boys. people shoootin up in bathrooms in the hood, people shooting up crouched behind buildings and shit, getting the water from their shot by holdin a bottle cap outside the window and catchin rain in it cuz they aint got no money to buy some water and so sick they aint got time to drive til they can find a bathroom to get some water from. That straight reckless shit, people who really is in it to win it. (lol win, yea right) bUt you feel me?
None of this "Now, Nicole will drive over to her boyfriends house, who has purchased heroin for both of them, and will inject it to get high. He buys it from a local dealer, who he meets at a local fast food parking lot. The deal is risky, but Nicole and her boyfriend do watever it takes to stay high." and then they show her use like, 3 bags of dope over the entire night, and it says "Her counselor said if nicole contineus to use like this, she will be dead in a year. The counselor said that Nicole's problem is one of the worst she has ever seen. At one time, Nicole used TEN BAGS A DAY-a amount known as a "bundle" on the streets. Most users would not even do a bundle in three days, but nicole finished it in one. Though this may be suprising, many users do reach this stage of use. Long time junkies and addicts sometimes even use more than this--up to fifteen bags a day. Using such large amounts is the last resort of the lifetime, hopeless heroin addict. When she first began using, nicole never thought she would become one. After 10 months of IV heroin use, she now needs up to 4 bags to get her "well" when she is "dope sick." She spends up to 120 dollars a day to get a "bundle", which will only keep her "well" for two days if she's lucky, but most times its gone by the end of the day, even when she tells herself she is gonna make it last this time."
Like, yea , OK, the fact that she still pays that much for a bundle which is almost triple how much it should be, just goes to show how much of a "noob" she is, becuz any "real" junkie cant afford that much for that little dope and will start to go cop theyself and get the real normal prices cuz they cant afford to put up with that overcharged taxed the hell up shit. On the show, They always like to say, Oh, so and so uses TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS A DAY worth of heroin, but the person uses like a bundle, and the only reason it cost so much is becuz they overpay cuz they suburban bitches who dont even go cop, or they live in like vermont or some shti where its hard to find. they say anything they canto make it look extreme. like thes ppl aint got no idea of wat ppl really use, u know? I aint gonna keep ranting, but the shit is lame. Any time I see thes how, i find my self say, damn, they think THIS is BAD??? If only they did a show on ME! Haha, they would be shittin their pants if they seen how much I was usin everyday, and I know ppl that uses even more than I do! Ha, these ppl dont knwo shit!
...my point is that alot of the ppl they show as bein so bad is really just normal. Like "joey" or who ever whou said bootn 15 bags a day-thats a pretty average habit yo. thats all im sayin,
