I'm 27, female, live in Minneapolis -- been here most of my life other than 4 years spent slumming around the burbs of Phoenix, Arizona. Came upon bluelight while desperately trying to find the exact formula that would insure I would not send myself into precipitated withdrawals with my newly obtained suboxone Rx. Which brings me to my next point, the reason why everyone is here to some extent or another. Here's a nice time line of my drug use (often turned to abuse) that has led me to my current status -- heroin junky desperately trying to turn it around for every reason in the addict book. Here goes (started late compared to a lot of people out there, but once I started I went full throttle):
Age 12: cigarettes (still smoke -- been smoking newport shorts for the past 6 years -- heroin has kept me steady at MINIMUM a pack a day -- usually more like 1.5)
Age 15: Alcohol (never been my DOC), Weed (love it -- saved me from a meth binge in Arizona that kept me at a steady 90 pound/7 days up, 24-36 hours passed out for the better part of a year), acid (nothing like a 15 year old tripping on acid), mushrooms, cocaine
16: the year of cocaine for me, more weed, mushrooms, acid, vicodin
17: Same ol, same ol -- got arrested with some weed and blow, got sober for about 5 months, then back to the MJ; managed to stay away from the other shit
18: weed, mushroom chocolates (loved those, lots of original nintendo was played), extacy, more blow
19-20: Same stuff, nothing new
21: Did occasional drinking once legal, still didn't care for it (booze hound for a dad, hated seeing him all disgusting on alcohol, hate hangovers, didn't care for the taste)
22: moved to arizona, which led to ...
23-24: Methamphetamine. The love of my life. The drug I gave up everything for, and would do it again in a heartbeat. Nothing has every made me feel the way tweak did. I became a professional meth smoker. Can't tell you why I loved it so -- most find it foul and disgusting, and it is, and I get that, but I fucking love it. What, sleep? I don't need that. Food? For what? So that occupied most of my time. Did percs when I could get em, used weed when I decided to straighten myself out and move back to MN.
25: Lots of booze -- met a dude who liked to drink, so I liked to drink with him. Still together -- as I write this, he is 2 days away from getting released from inpatient. That smack ... has us both by the balls). Found a grip of mephedrone before all the sites got shut down, it was fun a couple times. Extacy again (Like to say I'm done with that for good), xanax
26: Oxys, fentanyl, crack (oxy and crack, the rookie's speedball), heroin
27: Heroin. heroin ... heroin ... and now, suboxone.
Maybe this is too much for an intro? Probably won't get read too much anyways ... anyways, love to lurk on these threads, if I was still tweaking I could easily spend 48 hours on this site and look around 2 days later thinking I'd been online for five minutes ... you'll most likely find me in "Other Drugs" forum from here on out.
