I am a college graduate, and I have a job that is kinda in my field, I studied biology and chemistry and now I work as a lab tech in a dairy food processing plant.

3 Months ago I had my 3 month review and I got a raise.

Today I had my 6 month review and I was denied my raise because my performance has gone down. :X

It has depressed me so much.

I work graveyards, and they are 12 hour shifts. Adjusting to that schedule was really difficult, I started doping stimulents because I couldn't sleep during the day. I eventually started doing them just to get through the day (Meth, 4-FA, MPA, a-pvp). I don't think I ever got severly addicted, but the withdrawels were there. As of today, I have been clean for about one week from stimulants.

With this denial of my raise, which I was really looking forward, I feel like something has to change. I already stopped doing uppers, I will kick the pot habit now.

Will I still have my fun drug nights with my girlfriend though (usually MDMA or whatever RC I bought earlier that week) ? I think I should cut that out too.

Just thought I would share my thoughts about how a not-so-tragic but very negative event made me rethink my drug habit.

And with that said, I will probably start up again after I find another job! :D
(I spent my time today working my resume and applying for jobs, rather than getting stoned and watching the newest season of Breaking Bad....)

but until then....... I miss them already. 8(
 
Gonna send this on to Sober Living.

Congrats on making that decision, and I wish you the best in everything :)
 
Hey Spikeball!
I also work 12 hour night shifts every week.. That is a long time to work, so don't beat yourself up too much if your performance varies every now & then..
It is great to see that you are already making lifestyle changes to lift up your game at work.

Stick with it man, and you wont go wrong : - )
All the best.
 
it's always nice to hear someone saying they want to give up the drug use aspect of their life when the problems it cause haven't gotten all that bad
