What do you do for a living?

Damn, alot of people hating on StaySedated. Why? Cause someone else has what you want, and you don't have it? Shit if I was rich and had a habit simultaneously, I would brag about it too!!

Hell, I'm a broke, unemployed loser that lives with his parents and I brag about my drug use. Because despite how much drugs have taken away from me, I could never deny what they gave to me.

And wow k'doutinAZ, you own radius? That is a nice club. I drove by it a few times. My sister is in Scottsdale. I'm in Queen Creek.

Anyway, I am an unemployed construction worker/tile, woodfloor installer. I used to live in SoCal and had a nice business with a friend doing strictly custom stone, granite, marble, woodfloors, complete residential remodels. Never commercial. Never new construction. We had plenty of business from doctors, lawyers etc. Made buku bucks. Started installing custom waterfall fireplaces, which were unheard of and to my knowledge, still are. That was when the money started coming in. And that was when my drug habit went out of control. I believe if I never fucked with coke/crack I would have never fell through the cracks.

Now, the only possession I own is my 91' Acura Legend with 544,000 miles on it......And clothes and shoes. Oh, and foodstamps.

I am on the verge of homelessness once again and I don't mind it. Society makes me feel insane.

Everyone in my family knows of my drug and alcohol use. Though I have cut back immensely. Not by choice but because I simply cannot afford them.
 
I was kinda hoping you were joking tbh honest SS.
I'm sure you deserve your success and have worked hard for it, but when a working class person like myself reads a post like that, about your cars and your beach houses,and your 7 figure bank account it depresses me..not your fault, but when i'm worrying if i'm going to be able to afford a trip to the zoo for my birthday (which is more for my kids), or pay for a weeks groceries because I had to pay our council tax and rent this week I kinda wonder where the fuck I went wrong.

I'm an intelligent woman, yet I have no paperwork to back it up, because instead of being in school, I was on the other side of a bathroom door, trying to stop my mother from slitting her wrists, or taking another overdose. I was scared to go to school because of what i'd come home to.

Our government fucks poor people over on a daily basis, they tax US instead of the rich. yet WE are the ones who really run the country...the woman at the supermarket checkout, the nurse on a shitty wage who does it because she cares, or the factory worker who has to worry every month weather he's gonna be laid off.

Fuck the government. It's about time "normal" people were given a fucking chance, instead of being thrown to the gutter at every opportunity.

*I hope this posts doesn't offend, I have simply had enough of *getting by* while the fat cat bankers and politicians lie to us, get millions in bonus's and leave us folks wondering how we're going to put food on the table the next day.

*gone* >>>>

I never really thought of it that way. Women do truly run our civilization. And immigrants. I remember going to work for rich people in their nice air conditioned homes whilst looking out the window at a mexican immigrant BUSTING HIS ASS digging ditches ALL DAY. In 110F weather. Knowing that because I am white I will make twice as much as him when he is putting forth soo much more effort than me. I would feel so bad KNOWING that something here just isn't right. And I will bitch and complain about some stupid shit, while the immigrants are just happy to feed their family.

I don't know if this belongs here but, check out Zeitgeist: Addendum the movie online. It explains exactly how the monetary system works.

Why? 'Cos he's being a wanker! Material possessions don't mean shit to me (I'm not just saying that - I mean it), and if I was rich I certainly wouldn't brag about all the expensive stuff I own. Especially knowing fully that this a drug forum, with some members who are hardcore addicts struggling just to get by. I wonder how long StaySedated would last on the streets, without his luxuries.
 
Well, I'll try and get back on topic..

I'm 23 years old, and I work for my stepfather who owns a Heating, Venting, And Air Conditioning business.. I bid commercial jobs and fabricate all the sheetmetal..
I'm engaged to my high school sweet heart and no one in my family is aware of my drug abuse.
 
Nothing. I'm unemployed. I'm 31 years old. I suffer from severe OCD and biploar, along with problems with self-injury. My mental demons render me unemployable and I collect Disability... which doesn't pay for anything. My parents give me some money every month which I use to buy stuff I need and the rest goes towards cigarettes and my habit. Just about everyone knows that I use drugs, mostly because I can't seem to stay off Facebook when I'm high. :/ My parents don't like it and bitch at me all the time.

It's a weird situation I have though. I never used drugs my entire life. It's only within the past few years that I'm starting to have a problem. I found out that if I got high I could avoid self injuring, so I started doing it more and more and now I can't possibly imagine living without it. I look at it like I'm doing the lesser of two evils. One way I'm doing permanent damage, the other way I'm not.

yes you would, hell you'd be doing it even without realizing it.

money and luxury items are an addictive "drug" in themselves, and the reason people buy them is so that they can say they they have them.

i'd like to see you get a large amount of money(i mean truly large) and see how long it untill you're just like every other rich person(or in this case me).

my bet is it wouldn't take long at all...
 
Money can be as big of a drug as any other. For reals, lay off the guy. The op asked a question and he answered. You may not like the answer but seriously...being judged on a forum dealing with drugs? Seems a bit hypocritical and frankly lame to me. Do your best to hide the obvious jealousy. A lot of people bust their ass to enjoy the ability to purchase toys and other tangible things..hell that is the basis of capitalism. If you arent into material things, fine, but why basically call this person a douche because he can afford and enjoys the things he can buy? If you all want real answers to the questions you ask then dont villify someone for being honest.

I MOSTLY agree with you. But I think most people were turned off by his attitude...not by the fact that he has $$$.

Personally his attitude doesn't bother me at...I'm an asshole too....just don't flaunt it as much. =D

i've never really been called an asshole by others and am pretty mellow so something tells me its the money why people don't like me(also before i revealed i had money i got along super well with pretty much everybody).

i'm a nice guy for the most part, maybe a bit of a prick sometimes but oh well i am who i am.

theres definately bigger pricks than me that have posted on this thread.
 
There actually are people who claim they are very rich and important, without any actual money or talent to back it up...

The criteria for narcissistic personality disorder from http://www.mental-health-today.com/narcissistic/dsm.htm :

Narcissistic DSM IV Criteria



A pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or behavior), need for admiration, and lack of empathy, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by five (or more) of the following:

(1) has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements)

(2) is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love

(3) believes that he or she is "special" and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions)

(4) requires excessive admiration

(5) has a sense of entitlement, i.e., unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations

(6) is interpersonally exploitative, i.e., takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends

(7) lacks empathy: is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others

(8) is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him or her

(9) shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes

I fulfill four of those criteria myself, so I almost could have a diagnosis, but not quite... I have talked about this problem with a psychiatrist, and I have tried to control my inflated self-esteem, and it has somewhat worked. Before that I constantly got into fights with people after boasting my importance too much.

well i truly feel sorry for you but thats not me, i'm actually a nice pretty casual guy(by personality).

i'm not narcissistic or self absorbed, a few assholes came to the conclusion i am on this thread and won't let it go.

i don't know why other than saying what i do and what things i've got thanks to my hard earned success but something tells me the problem is with their shortcomings.
