my name's dustin, but friends refer to me as scaggs. 38 years old and lived a relatively drug-free life, other than some pot use in my early twenties, until i hit the age of 35. had a bad toothache, so took an HCN given to me by a girl i was dating at the time, whom ended up becoming addicted to opiates via her stolen bottles of hundreds of norcos, as she was a pharmacy tech in an independent pharmacy with very little security. needless to say, i was hooked on hydrocodone from the first pill. that fake sense of well-being filled a void many of us addicts have. i won't use the predisposition theory as a crutch, as i loathe how often addicts use this as an excuse and a way to escape the willpower responsibility. anyway, ended up getting tracked down by the DEA--was working for my mother's neuroradiology practice--and charged with 125 federal offenses of prescription fraud, something that could have EASILY put me away in a federal penitentiary for life over and over. a guy like me would not have lasted an evening. my mom got me an expensive attorney and i ended up facing one felony charge, which i attended drug treatment court for and got a dismissal after a year and a half in the program. learned a lot from this experience, but cannot honestly say i act accordingly, given the experience i have now. after quitting my 50 10/325 HCN daily habit, i decided 36, as opposed to the normal teenage years and early twenties, would be a good age to start experimenting. started doing coke, adderall, focalin, bath salts, ethylphenidate, 25i, kratom, etc. i am severely adhd, so though i am not justifying my stimulant abuse, there was definitely some therapeutic gain to be had. thankfully i never became dependent on any stimulants, even the ones prescribed for my adhd. i am definitely a fan of recreational drug use--hahaha--but have recently toned things down and only indulge on occasion. i'm a binge abuser--definitely a poly-substance abuser--though, so it's never pretty when it happens, at least where my emotional and physical well-being are concerned. the occasional night of 25i with a couple drinks is probably where i am most "comfortable". anyway, sites like this one are priceless, imho, as there is so much legitimate education to be shared with a community loaded with inexperienced and totally oblivious drug abusers. as well, there is something for everyone of us to learn, regardless of how all-knowing we may think we are. guilty. so yeah, i've been frequenting this site for years, but am not a fan of posting on forums, until now, so just stayed an outsider. happy to be a bit more involved now.
