Hey guys , I've never been one much for going on about myself , but I'll do my best with some history and how i crash landed on bluelight :)

I probably have more pharmaceutical knowledge than most pharmacists , as most of you guys here probably do lol , I have a near encyclopedic knowledge of every mind altering substance introduced to the western world post 1900's :| , from Psychedelics to SSRI's and everything in-between ( and of course 1898 bayer Heroin 8( )

Like most, my DOC was the malevolent opiate (surprise , LIE being called heroin highway now ? ) . It's been a 5 year + battle since I was 14/16 . 14 I had my first experience with Vicodin when my dad had a hernia operation , and didn't take any of his meds . I took 2 750's and threw up violently for the rest of the day lol and I hadn't touched them again until high school when they began being taken recreationally . Then came along my wisdom teeth , where I got my first script for vicodin , and it goes downhill from there .

The bottle that was supposed to last 3 weeks or so , was gone in maybe 4-5 days ? I was popping one at community service every 2 hours , when I woke up , before I went to sleep , and whenever I could find time to eat another one . That was probably the most enjoyable 4-5 days I've ever had ( disgusting I know ) . 96 hours of floating on a cloud in a blanket with waves of euphoria and close-eyed dreams . Soon the bottle was empty . This was a problem. :X

I'll shorten the rest since it'd already longer than I planned and I'm not even 17 in the story yet haha , anyway of course I graduated to percs , to blues , which i was snorting up to 120-150 mg a day , driving 45 Minutes to east islip to my dealer who became one of my good friends of course . After work every day , copping , pulling over on a side block , sniffing em and blasting tupac %) smoking newports , strangely I do miss those feelings , but I guess not what came along with it.

Soon came the heroin , soon the needle , soon the long sleeves in the summer ,soon came the unemployment , loss of every desire in life except getting heroin , soon the googling of pawn shops from Seldon to Nassau .

At 20 My parents kicked me out of the house after I crashed my car nodding out . My sneaky druggie mind quickly smashed my left side view mirror and tossed it in the bushes , and when the cops came I said I got side swiped and pushed into the parked car on the side of the highway , and the car didn't stop . I was taken to the hospital and giving a script of 20 valium lol ,ridiculous . Anyway I got away with it .

Now 1 day homeless , and have been wanting to stop using for a while , My ex girlfriend drove me to queens where I stayed in faiths hope crisis center for 2 weeks until my insurance came through . Strangely i was more comfortable being the only white kid in the crisis center , then I was anywhere in my neighborhood . I got a bed at St.Christophers inn , upstate New York where I finished my 90 days ( Jan 29 - May 4 ) , and thanks god I've managed to stay clean since .
My ex girl ( fucking saint ) , drove me to queens , then came back from the island , took me to garrison NY where I was sent back originally from St. Chris's because I had marijuana still in my system , took me BACK to the crisis center , and did that again a week later where I passed the drug tests and finally stayed . I owe that girl immensely , the selflessness almost makes me tear today >_< .

Well that's my story ,Now 21 Coming up on 10 months clean (I Do still occasionally drink, maybe 2 times a month at most ) and I do really feel great , thanks to a lot of great people , along with many inspirational stories from blue light as well .4 years of lurking I figured it's about time to finally join :p

Thanks for reading, if you tolerated all the run-on sentances lol .

Much love.-Rob
 
Wow bro that was a really nice entry. You should definitely work it out and blog it. I DID NOT expect your story to end the way it did. I'm very proud of you as you should be of yourself. I wish you the best on your journey my friend :)
 
Most who knew me wouldn't have either lol , Thanks man I appreciate it , best wishes to you as well
 
Cheering and clapping so hard I woke up the dogs, lol, I'm so happy 4 uuuuuu, what a road u have traveled , glad ur ok
 
^lol that's cute. :)

Quantz, thank you so much for your detailed intro. I'm so glad you have 10 months clean now. I noticed that you already found your way to The Dark Side. Keep going there for support with your recovery and I think you could also help out other Bluelighters in there as well. You're a fantastic writer. You should get up to 50 posts so you can start a Blog here on Bluelight.

I'm looking forward to reading more from you. <3 :)

Thanks much 1life and Spork . Oct 29 will be the official 10 month mark :D . yes haha My favorite part of the forum is the dark side already , I feel most comfortable there and do love sharing what I've learned on my journey , and there's many knowledgeable all over BL that could help me with my own issues as well .

I know haha I'd love to get 50 posts , but I feel weird spamming 2 sentance posts just to build up my post count , Over the next week I should reach it , I'd absolutely love to and WILL blog , and thankyou for the compliment , I've taken pride in my writing , I've actually ghost -written MANY songs for people around my neighborhood who rap , as they really do suck haha . No understanding of counting beats or syllables or flowing with a proper cadence , SMH . Do people here actually read others blog entries , though ?
Either way I will regardless . Thanks for the kind words guys :D
 
Good to see you stopped. LI really does have a bad problem with opiates/opioids, so you've gone down the same road as many others before you and there are many people who will go through it after you. I just stopped a week ago and really don't know my plans for staying off it since I haven't really thought about it.

Yeah Lindenhurst supposedly being the Heroin capital of the island and I'm 5 minutes away from Lindy , rough .
A week is a week , keep it up , and don't "Plan " , as corny as it sounds . One day at a time . Only thing I'd plan is how you're going to stay clean for TODAY , not the rest of your life . I'm sure you've heard that before though :p

It;s not easy -_- , I deleted every possible contact that knows a connect , or connect themselves , and changed my cell number . I couldnt get D if I tried unless I drove around the hood yelling out the window WHO GOT DEM SLIPS !?
