so most of us have been high out in public. I've even gone to a job interview after snorting a line of coke. The first time i drank i couldn't control myself at all! But after time i could be drunk around anyone and they wouldn't know.

so the question is what do you do to "look" sober? Especially off benzos.

I used to experiment with Benzos at school including Xanax and Valium. Trust me, I would look crazy trying to walk from classroom to locker to classroom. No matter how hard I tried, I looked high. Didn't tell anyone, but just taking a seat, or sharpening my pencil, kids from my class would ask, "Are you High again"? I would then become all stiff and stand up straight and act all macho as fuck. Great times until I was caught and stopped getting high in class. Only on occasions now I will try maybe some Poppy Seeds or Mescaline, but still get attention as I walk to places.
 
theres an art to acting sober? i've never paid much attention to hiding my drug use, id go out in public tripping, on high dose ket, rolling face. used to take "night walks" at 2-3 in the morning back when i lived in inner city after doing coke.

caught myself nodding out at work a couple times. shits hard to disguise after the hundred times you say "im just tired." hahah.

as for the benzo part, you dont compose yourself on benzos. you just hope for the best, and expect the worse.
 
I really don't know. It depends on how high I am.

I have been sooo fucked up that I've nodded off on the bus 5 times in a row and hit my head on the metal bars.

If I've done too much heroin, there's no way I can keep my eyes open enough to act sober.

yup.

Nothing is worse than having to answer the door/phone after taking a blast of Coke, I'm so glad I never do that shit anymore.
 
Generally speaking I can hold myself together pretty well. The only drug I'm extremely self-conscious on, as far as OMG THEY KNOW I'M HIGH, is weed ironically. With "hard drugs" like coke, speed, heroin, and even psychedelics I don't give a shit if people know or not, and generally I think I look pretty normal (unless I've really been on a bender)

Sometimes I think I look normal and I really look fucked up, though. I remember I attended a party once after taking 2 mgs of Klonopin and someone asked me afterwards if I had done drugs, because I "looked high". 2 mgs isn't even a very high dose of clonazepam either, well within the therapeutic dosage for that particular drug. It probably didn't help that I also had a couple drinks, though.
 
There's a pretty girl who works as a cashier at my local gas station, and I'd always feel a *slight* tinge of embarrassment in going in there all tweaked out at, like, 4 or 5 AM and buying energy drinks lol. I figured that she suspected I was probably high on drugs...which would've been an accurate assessment ha
 
^sometimes i get that same paranoia on weed.
The hardest for me is trying to act sober while tripping, everytime i'm buying something or when queuing I always act weird lol
 
Fuckin weed... Paranoia all the time unless my tolerance is high. I have no issue on psychedelics, booze, anything except the devils lettuce.

For some reason weed is more enjoyable to me when I have a high tolerance built up.
 
Lol^ I seem to act high/weird when I'm totally straight. I've even had friends pick me up on it it,- only to say uh, I haven't taken anything yet today. That's weird shit but I'm guessing I'm not alone ;)

Rtp
 
everything is fine until i burst out laughing loud in the library lol why the f did i choose to read while stoned anyway, damn you marijuana
 
If I'm in public I don't try and "act sober". But I also don't go into public falling over drunk or tripping face lol. I don't give a fuck if anybody sees high me as long as it's not my boss or coworkers...
 
When I was using anything that smelled I always smoked a lot and wore subtle but strong cologne. My prescription glasses that I wear anyway aren't tinted at all, but having them on puts a barrier between my eyes that were probably shot and someone else's eyes that would be looking at me. Also I always dressed sharp, fashionable and appropriate attire that made me look sophisticated further distracting people from any suspicions. I would act civilized and friendly as much as possible to help people let their guards down. I kept a clean washed nice car so as to look unsuspicious to police. Have good damned excuses for signs you may show of substance use. Brush teeth after things like drinking. Don't get too fucked up, or you'll give yourself away no matter what precautions you may take. Avoid unnecessary interactions that could give you away. If you've done something that smells remember to keep adequate distance between yourself and any person you may have to interact with during the interaction as much as possible. Don't tell anyone whom you are unsure how they would react if they knew you were intoxicated in some way. Don't engage in behaviors that you can't perform at least 80% as well as when sober. If you have to do something that is likely to blow your cover, prepare for it like your life depends on it, trying to wing it while intoxicated is a sure way to blow your cover.

I could go on and on because I spent years doing this shit, but honestly most of us are probably in the same boat and could recite everything I could possibly write.
 
It really depends on the situation. I've had to hide it before. Like if you're coming home from a club or something. I take the bus home and just sit quietly in a seat and browse on my phone.
I don't think coke really makes me act THAT different. I mean, I have more energy, but no one would ever notice.
And benzos.... they just calm my social anxiety and I'm more outgoing. I've used that at work parties before since I dislike alcohol.

I don't have to hide it much except coming home from clubs and stuff but it's not that hard to. I'm never THAT out of it (any more at least).
