Like others have said, too many to count. This is my worst one with specifically alprazolam being the catalyst for all of the bullshit. I was either 19-20 at this time, so I've made plenty of new stories in the time it's taken me to reach 24

.
Got dropped off at my house by a long-term girlfriend, we said goodnight and I told her I'd give her a call tomorrow, the usual. Now she knew at this point that I was a relentless, unrepentant drug addict and one of the pillars of the relationship was that I remain drug and alcohol free. She allowed my cannabis use to continue, although she hated that too, so, needless to say, it was a difficult relationship. Anyway, I had been talking to my buddy about getting a few 2mg bars as soon as I could shake my girl all day and the time had come.
I was on a budget so bought 5 bars for $XX (wanted opioids badly, but only oxycodone was around and my tolerance was too high to make it financially feasible). Made the deal successfully and retired to my bedroom for what I thought would be a quiet evening of 2mg-4mg of Xanax and Forrest Gump. The rest of the bars were "for later" I told myself. This was maybe 6:00pm that I took my first dose.
Fast-forward to the following morning. I woke up well-rested and feeling great the next morning around 10:00am, but after being up for 5 minutes I felt a sense of doom come over me; something had gotten fucked up last night, I just didn't yet know what. I ran over to my dresser and looked inside my shoe for the cellophane containing the other 3 bars... nothing. I felt something underneath my food in the dark room a few moments later, an empty cellophane. Fuck. I also noticed that the 300$ Ibanez acoustic my girl had gotten for me was nowhere to be found. Fuck, again.
After a few moments, I heard a pounding on the back door. "Who the hell could that be?" It was my dope dealer. Things were getting worse and worse. I had apparently called him up in the middle of the night asking for 3 grams of heroin, I would give him a check for the amount. How I managed to convinced him to take a check eludes me to this day, no smart dealer would ever go for that. Apparently, the bank had cashed a check for $300 even though I had no funds in the account, but not for the full amount. So my dealer is beating down my door looking for the $100 he was missing from the deal. "I don't have it" 4 words you never want to say to a scary drug dealer, but I managed to talk him down and he eventually left. I was now $200 in the hole at my bank, with the overdraft fees to match.
I had apparently sold the guitar to a separate drug dealer who took it off my hands for 1 (one) gram of cocaine that I never even got to enjoy as I was blacked the fuck out. My girlfriend and I were planning on seeing each other later that day, so the final punch to the gut was to be telling her that I sold the guitar that she bought me for cocaine to go with my heroin.
No problem, "I must have some dope left" I though, having spend a couple hundred, I didn't think I could have blown through over 2 grams in that one evening. Then I walked into the bathroom and witnessed the realest horror yet. On my white sink/countertop area in my bathroom lay a spoon/cotton/belt/syringe set-up. Around it, an area of caked brown heroin as though a dope-grenade had gone off. It had mixed in nicely with the dried toothpaste and mouthwash that already coated parts of the sink. It was unsalvageable. I had probably done one small shot and ruined the rest in the process, being all fucked up.
In the end, I couldn't even kill my pain/worry to deal with what I had done. I had to face the situation head-on and it sucked. I didn't fuck with benzodiazepines of any kind for over a year after this happened. It was the first time that I saw how truly and singularly destructive a drug can be, in my own life at least. The girl and I stayed together for a few months after that and in retrospect it was another sin letting the relationship continue, as my drug use was nothing short of abusive to her. I've grown a little bit since, but still make mistakes from time to time.
Be careful everybody.
