My Dealio- Completely functioning, health, intelligent "user"

[Gstatus209]

Hello everyone! Been coming here for many years now, awesome site! Just though id tell my story and see what people have to say....

So I wont bore you with a long, drawn out, detailed filled story. So basically Im 21, college student and waiter. I love and am interested in medicine, health, neurology, and nutrition. Going to school to be a Phys.Assist/Nurse Pract. Have a 3.7 GPA. Work out 3-5 x per week: boxing, high intensity, jump rope, plyo, yoga, etc. Take my supplements: protein, multi, fish oil, apple cider vinegar. For the most part TRY to stay healthy since I dabble in drugs.....a lot. Also gay but one of those "holy shit!! i would never , ever, EVER have guessed you are gay-type of guy"I know my priorities, love my family and friends.

Vices:

Weed- been smoking since I was 16, everyday now or every other day for past 4 years.
Opiates- started with Vikes, now Oxys. If I dont take em, I will withdraw for sure. Now it might sound like Im a junkie, but it does not at all get in the way of 'life". I just like em. Definately have spent much $$ n it though.
Shrooms- I LOVE THEM!! they are my restart button and I feel like a new, refreshed person after every session. Couple times a year to 'recharge'.
Ecstasy- use very sparingly due to 'differing contents' in street E, love them for raves. Raver here.
Cocaine- use every now and then, kind of more than usual lately with alcohol or oxys. Love/hate relationship.

So I try and stay healthy, work out and take my supps but I know I use a lot. Still on the right path, no fucks up with law or school or family. Completely and fully functional......


Thoughts guys?? No one at all knows any of this....well except you guys now lol Looking for friends who are like me or who can give me advice or opinions on my situation.
Spank u very much!

Welcome!!

Thought? Well, I think you're gonna run into some major trouble at some point if you don't put a full stop on your opiate use. You will probably run into trouble with the law and addiction and health care professions don't mix too well.

You probably knew this already but you asked

Maybe check out some of the threads in ADD about addiction. MeDieVil is trying low dose ibogaine to get rid of cravings. interesting stuff!

edit: I'm basically doing the same thing you are (including education) sans the drugs.. I work out six times a week though otherwise I'd probably still need em

Hey just wanted to say its good to see someone in a similar situation. Im also a student who works out, gets good grades.. does drugs every day etc hehe. I have been using opiates for about 4 years and Ive been physically addicted for about half of that time but mentally and emotionally addicted since the beginning (just needed smaller doses less of the time.. what can ya do?) Im of the mindset that drugs are a medicine like any other and as long as Im aware of/accepting of the consequences what concern is it of anyone elses? After having therapist throw anti-psychotics at me for many years I was somewhat disillusioned to the dangers of drug use when I discovered how helpful opiates are to me
I dont tend to keep my drug use under wraps (unless there are obvious reasons to. I dont walk up to cops and pull out my stash lol) because for me its kind of this cause I feel like Im fighting for. Like you seem to, I feel like level of productivity Im currently achieving in life sorta speaks for itself I wasnt really brought up to heed cultural sensitivity anyway 8) There are perfectly sober people who manage to be perfectly unsuccessful every day.
