I've been viewing this forum for a few months now and decided to join, finally. My 1st post today was about my 1st time experience with near death/1st time heroin use .. anyways.
I was raised around drugs, started in my childhood .. mother was a kick arse bass guitarist back in the 80's with a heroin junkie husband who playing guitar in her band, who in return introduced her to the devil. Five years of watching my mother struggle with a heroin addiction when I was younger, Ludes were popular back then, the drinking, the constant moving around because of the band and yet the most amazing think about that life was the music .. believe it or not.
(Mom was besties with a few of the older well known country musicians and it was nothing for a limo to pick her up and unlimited amounts of cocaine be supplied)
At 12 I hit my first water bong, at 14 I started sneaking schnapps to drink from Pops, by 16 I had already tried Hash and taken a few pain pills and by 20 I had pretty much experienced every drug (even acid/shrooms). So yeah, I've struggled with this my whole life.
By 30 I experienced a stint in rehab after loving opiates too much .. which I can say did help for a few years, and I managed to stay clean after suboxone treatment.
My mother doesn't play anymore and after many injuries, she still does pills at her age, but doesn't drink or do anything else. And here I am, living proof that being raised around it can influence you and also it can be genetic. Many, many people in my family are addicts, but I'm trying to stay clean.
I've experienced it all guys, really .. I've seen people OD (even my own mom) growing up, lost my father young, experienced my own struggles with addiction, yet somehow, nothing has broken my spirit .. yet.
Thanks for reading! I will not judge you, I promise.
