Hey everyone,
I was looking over my previous posts an realized that I never knew about subscribing to threads (duh!)
Anyway, looking over the responses to my original post makes me feel like I'm in the company of some fucking amazing REAL people.
Update...
I still use rather heavily every day but not to the extent of what I was previously doing,.
When I was clean, I was successful in the corporate world and bought a house in CO as well as a variety of 'things and stuff'
I gave my connect one of these things (my prized 52" LCD TV). I bought it for 3 grand and some change and he offered me 2k off my debt. The current store value is $2,300. I actually told him he was fucking himself with that price and told him $1,500 off my debt was more reasonable. He said he just wanted to help me out but accepted (and respected) the deal.
OK, I'm catered to by my parents, even at 37 years old, but they actually gave me a credit card. I told my connect that I should pay interest on my debt and started buying gift cards from the grocery store and took half the value in blow and told hum to keep the other half as interest. This dude is alright. He never said 'Why don't you give me the full value and you don't get any powder'
I pawned 2 nice watches (at fuckun' 20% their value) and gave him the loot (minus a small bag).
I'm now down to a little over 6k in debt to my boy.
I was supposed to move back to the Philadelphia area on the 2nd but I've been still using so, as it goes, I've been putting off everything concerning the move.
I was planning on getting some sleep tonight and just putting clothes, food for the dog and the basic necessities. Well, I haven't really slept or eaten properly (due to shooting this shiti) n the past 2 days so instead of leaving tonight I figure I'll pack up tomorrow and get away from the easy availability of shit and the desire to see all the people I left when I chased after a career halfway across the country.
This will be good since the only person I really hang out with out here is my connect. Yeah, I can get shit easily back east but not as easily convenient as where I'm locaated now. I've been spoiled with the (what I thought was any fiends dream (almost unlimited supply on credit RIGHT THERE for the taking. Shit, he even said that i could go into his stash if I needed more because I was 'honest' and 'had money'.
I'm no longer honest and simply led him to believe I had money.
I will pay my debt (it'll take a long time though). Dude has been WAY too cool and providing for me to fuck him over.
Just thought I'd give an update
