What this blog will be

Lets do some background info.

This is going to be a bit of an experiment. I've never really had a blog, not one that I used on a regular basis anyways. I'm starting this blog because I think that it potentially could help me with a great many things. Hopefully it helps me keep everything thats going on in my life in perspective.

I've been a part of the bluelight community for quite some time now, like 9 years or something. The decision to use bluelight as my blog was made quite instinctually, as bluelight quite honestly has been a constant thing in my life for the past almost decade, which is crazy to think about. For better or for worse bluelight has helped shape my life. So using bluelight as a baseof operations for this blog was a very easy decision.

Ok, so I'm a 24 year old male, I've been in and out of university for the past 3 years, due largely to problems with heroin addiction. I should be done with my undergraduate degree by now and in fucking graduate school, but no, my ass had to start shooting black tar heroin, genius fucking idea.

I was exposed to drugs from a fairly early age, first smoked pot when I was 13, heroin by 15.
Got addicted by the time I was 21 to heroin.

I'm also going to try and post video updates, I'm actually going to try and post all of my updates like that. For 1 I think I'd like vlogging more anyways. Its also easier to just talk freely sometimes, instead of constantly revising and looking back after words you typed.

My next update should be a vlog, kinda doing this post again. Telling you the point of the blog and what I'll be doing.. maybe some background info as well and my plans for the near future.
 
cool deal. I've found it to be a decent tool to document where I'm at mentally/emotionally. When I look back on past entries its easy to see patterns as well as growth.

Good decision on using BL! It seemed the obvious choice for me since there are folks here of like mind and understand drug users like ourselves.

I'm always amazed at the intelligence, empathy and genuine care and logical input found here
 
Hi syd-- welcome!

Don't beat yourself up about taking a while to get your undergrad degree. It took me 8 years to get mine. I could have saved a whole lot of time, money and motivation if I had just taken a couple of critical years off and gotten all the partying out of my system, but the way that I look at it is that having to take all the extra credits to get back into uni (long story) led me to be much more well rounded as a result.

I look forward to seeing the vlog, but as far as I know you can't embed video in this version of the board software. Give me a shout if you have any questions about that, and I can look into it a bit deeper.

:)
