Romanticize drugs and using here!

I spent a decade of my life romanticizing drug use because of film and literature, stuff like the beats and charles bukowski. I look back at it now and realize how horrible it all is. I read William Burroughs junky and instead of seeing how terrible it is I wanted to be a smack addict, hey at least he was doing things and meeting really interesting people so what if he lead a shit life and shot his wife in the head.

I was really depressed and lonely at the time. Not much to romanticize anymore you realize how ridiculous you look romanticizing poppy tea or drinking beer when you get past a certain age. Sometimes I thank God I was never able to get a hold of any real drugs (except for pot which I hate)

that makes my 16mg diclaz habbit, drinkin when i can, worse.

but yay for poly drug use! Let me go do more a-php, drink, hey my muscles hurt its time for my diclaz dose that i spilled like 150-200 (atleast 400 diclaz) php in, left unopened and was left with a gram of solid stuff. No idea how to dose now but i get by.

Its a romantic life, one I think i may have to leave behind one day. It'd be like loosing my children.

now its plateaued at 50mg a day!

not genuine, sounded like you pseudo-quoted the good Dr. HST there
 
I don't see the romanticism in being a drug addict. It is a fucking disease. Yes some lucky or strong people can keep it like a recreational use, but must of them (like me) are becoming proper addicts with no other ways to live but self-destruction. I lost friends because of it and how do you will call it ? Romantic natural selection ?
 
Linke in every relationship there are bright and dark sides. At least the beginning can offten be labeled as romantic, like a young couple thats in love and wont think about the world around it. Eventuali it wont last.
 
Where did the romanticism surrounding opiate/opioid addiction even come from? 'Heroin Chic' is perhaps one of the most ridiculous phrases I've ever heard.

My guess is musicians/artists. Kids like to think that the drugs somehow contributed to the art of the greats like Kurt Cobain or Charlie Parker, when in reality it was their biggest obstacle and the reason why many of them had such short lived careers.
 
Being physically addictded to any substance is the last thing I'd talk up.
might have some fun along the way but it always comes to a pretty sad stop before it goes anywhere positive, if it ever goes any where after alot of us die.
 
Opium - the catalyst of the Romantic movement in literature and art!

and also the drug that enslaved billions....

two sides to each coin.

Completely agree with this. The fact that many artists use drugs does not mean the drugs have contributed to their art, it just means these artists have too much free time and too much money. Of course there are exceptions, especially with psychedelic drugs. But kids see their favourite band on heroin and they want to do heroin too.

What do I know though? I'm on heroin right now...

I suppose I do romanticize heroin use. I've never become dependent on it - I've managed to use an average of 2 or 3 times a month for many years, and have never felt physical withdrawal symptoms. I love the way it makes me feel, yet I have enough good things in my life that I don't need or even want to feel high on H all the time. So I guess I do live a happy heroin using life right now.

I've read tons about the life of an addict though, and definitely do not want to go there. I'm playing with fire for sure.
