Hi Bluelight. Just wanted to introduce myself. I signed up for this site back in 2005 read a lot of great posts but never offered anything to the site. I've been on and off, we'll basically mostly on drugs for most of my adult life. First Coke (hard to get anything decent today) then MDMA, then Ketamine, then RCs, then opies....then opies combined with anything and everything I can get my hands on. I've mostly stopped with street drugs and am now carrying on a torrid love affair with pills.
I currently live in Chicago but i travel to NYC to see my kids. I have a great job in finance. I guess I've been living a double life for a long time but I make no excuses. Most of my colleagues have some vice. Mine just happens to be completely taboo. But there are others out there like me; but we stay hidden. It's ok to drink 10 scotches when entertaining clients. But heaven forbid someone sees you slip a perc into your mouth. You could be drug tested and forced into rehab...or worse just fired.
So if you happen to pass an almost 50yr old guy on the street carrying the Journal and wearing a suit, just think: maybe we have more in common then you think.
I believe this site has done a lot of good in terms of harm reduction. I praise the folks out there who keep posting and keep this site going. That's all I wanted to say. Sorry for the long post. Off to bed for me -its past my bedtime.

I'm just a couple of years younger than you, and I have an advanced degree in a very "genteel" field (that's all I want to say publicly), but yeah, I hear you. I was a very "successful junkie" for a good while (though not anymore). Welcome to posting.
