Your Job and Your Drugs

far from a bullshit website; I enjoy reading what I KNOW ABOUT on here, which is opiate independence/recovery. living that type of life style for many years and hearing others who have lived that life as well and are in recovery, or even some still living that type of life. so I enjoy hearing from those guys because we lived similar lives, believe it or not. I rather not "read through others but only stop at the ones that you like". how do I know if it's about dope or not w/o reading through it briefly? think about it?

not hating here at all, man. sometimes I just think things are TOO ORGANIZED with the whole merge/close thread thing.

and now look, instead of people telling me how their work day went, how they got through, what they did after, etc, has all been passed and now we are talking about who should be talking about who, when, where and when.

let's get back to topic.

OPIATE PEEPS (others too)
- what did you do for work? how was working your day with the drug? the pick up, use, drop off, use, etc. pain in the ASS!
 
^I'm actually getting what you're saying in regard to the average work day for a dope fiend(me) being vastly different than, obviously, sober folk and drug addicts of other kinds.
Your point kinda got lost in there but I do see what you're saying as far as that it probably should be its own thread. Just my opinion.

Like I mentioned previous, I'm a certain type of mechanic. Not vehicles. Equipment. I don't feel there's a need to get more specific.
Despite being exceptionally good at my line of work, I've still burned through 3 jobs in the last 7 years.
First job I was clean, with the occasional chip, for a year. It was so simple, straight forward. Work, deal with the blandness of the day, head home and eat, watch tv and then sleep. Rinse, repeat.
I got fuckin bored. I quit to move somewhere where I thought I'd be "happier." Alls I did was pick my dope habit back up.
I then got sick of where I had moved to and wanted to go back to the town my old job was in(mainly cause dope was cheaper there.) So, I called my previous employer and subsequently got my old job back.
I was now full on strung out. It was like night and day. The days were still a routine but it had become vastly more complicated.
Went like this....
Wake at 6am, Do morning shot around 6:15, Nod till 7-7:15, shower quick(or don't) and get in the car, work till 12(always kinda a blur and typically not unpleasant) do a shot in the bathroom in our service department, no nod(if I could help it) try to just get back to lunch, work till 4(again a blur and pretty easy) around 3-4 I start feeling antsy, need to head to my girls/guys place/meet up/get delivered/etc, get out of work and head straight to pick up dope that will last me till that time 24 hours from then, if I didn't have the proper amount of money than I'd do the typical beg/borrow/scheme and get it ASAP, do a dinner time shot and my persons place or at home, nod, wake up and eat, hang out with the woman, etc, do a bedtime shot, crawl(sometimes she'd drag me) to bed, sleep, get up and do it again.
I did that for close to a year and very rarely fucked it up. All my money save for necessities went to heroin.
What fucked it up was I went to my families home in another state for Thanksgiving and there was a ice storm the day after. I got stuck.
Companies policy was that if you miss the day after a holiday, you do not get paid for the holiday(s). Pretty typical. We had Thursday and Friday off and I had missed Monday. So, by missing Monday I ended up losing 3 days pay.
I vividly remember the panic I felt after I had driven part ways home, past car after car off the road, sliding and fish tailing in my own car and finally realizing I wasn't getting back.
I called my boss(who I got coke for) and begged him to give me the holidays, told him to watch the fucking news, it was impossible to get back. No dice, I was fucked.
That three days money threw my system all outta whack and I eventually ran out of cash and ended up WDing hard and then missing more work. Eventually shit got real bad and I asked for a medical leave. Went straight to rehab.
I was fine for a time but ended up quitting that job for geographical/boredom reasons, again. My 2 jobs after that followed a similar pattern of maintaining use and then shit falling apart. I took leave from one job and they sold the company/laid me off while I was out. The other, they fired me for excessive absenteeism, which was all due to dope.
I went to rehab again a while back cause I've been fairly determined not to fuck up my current job. I'm making significantly more money than I have prior to now and it's a really good spot for me. I could juggle dope and this job if I really wanted. But it's a time bomb. Gonna fall apart at some point and I can't do that to them or me.
The most fucked up part of working while strung out is knowing you need the dope to function, saying to yourself, 'I need to spend the money I made today on these bags cause without them I won't make it to work.'
It's like that picture of the snake eating itself. Just this endless cycle of needing to use to work, working to use. Fuck that.
 
Planned have an emergency supply on me at all times. Have a fast dealer for worst case and I have to use china white instead who usually will come to me in around 30 mins. I make it my business to make sure I have enough provisions for the worst case scenario. I'm a junkie doomsday prepper. even if it seems remote such as not being able to get a strong opiate in my system I If I'm broke and thus withdrawing I have still been work.My provisions are and were: before it was lope, it was suboxone (made sure I always had 2) + lomitil, + as much codeine I can get my hands on.

This whole finishing up law school and being an article clerk, is getting extremely frustrating from a money perspective and I think about quitting most days. My mind often wander's into gaining cash by less than legal means like I did when I was a young teen (no trace of it on my record) how I never caught a charge is a testament to the racism that exist's here, (that and looking like a baby too lol). Now as a 24 year old "grown ass man" it would not be good to resort to criminal activity.
 
dope junkies have no idea what its like to live that life around a drug. well, maybe some crackheads but i dont know. i just always hear so many dope stories and they all sound so similar. esp. people in my age range nowadays 25-35 and how the day revolves around the dope.

I dont know how you peeps did it by having dope in the AM; anything I'd have at night I'd finish. I would KILL to wake to dope; I've done it a FEW times before but it wasnt often. as said before my first score wasnt till lunch time at work which was noon. SOOOO many times I'd be late coming back cuz I'd stop in dunkin donuts and shoot or my guy was running late or some shit. i thought of being late nothing cuz now I was high. then I'd nod at desk but yet talk/calls too. around 4 I make plans for 6-7 pick-up. its only cuz I am a moron and didnt trust myself to buy both in the AM; or maybe I was broke an came up w/ money. I barely ate, never did shit. half the time my gas was on empty when picking up.
 
give me more dope lifestyle stories!!

I'll give you a payday story:

7AM every other Friday I would get paid
at 730AM I'd leave a good chunk of change under my boys seat and I'd buy SUPPLY for the "weekend".
8AM - I am in Dunkin Donuts bathroom shooting; but I buy a chocolate milk on way out, just to make myself feel its OK. they def. know I used the bathroom for all wrong reasons. I went in EVERYDAY!
830AM - I am at work and happy
1030AM - I pretend I need more dope; go in work (shared) bathroom and shoot.
12PM - go home for lunch and shoot minute I am in the door and NOD.
130 - come back rather than the 1 I SHOULD have been back at. I'd tell a lie.
135 - I'd look whacked out and people would ask if I'm alright and if the meds I was taking was causing a problem.
330 - last shot of work day
530-7 - I'd be home laid out on a couch
7 - I'd shoot; take xanny w/ it there and then not have a clue from there one. There would be times I was woken by the GF w/ needle in my arm, or laying on floor next to me as I am half on the couch and half on the ground.

I'd go threw what "usually" would last 3 days in ONE DAY on days I had cash and had money. Thats why even today money means NOTHING to be because all I did was buy drugs before; lots and lots of drugs. There were alot of Ambien thrown in those after 7 shots as well. This was me in my final stages of my last run; I truly do not remember a single fucking day before I finally OD on a speedball w/ xanny. That was Aug 26th. I used once (sniff) since then; that was a fuck up on my end but I've been on track still and using bupe AS NEEDED (not like it does shit anyway, would be nice tho).

I run up 50k in credit card bills/advances, had my cell constantly shut off and came up w/ reasons to borrow cash from whoever, would short my GF rent money, or money for bills, etc. I was what you'd call a true degenerate scumbag; yet I didnt see ANY OF THIS. I took it as "its my addiction, oh well". I didnt give a fuck for anyone or anything but the dope; even ONE of my dealers who was once a friend became strictly just dealer; that friendship is long gone since clean came around. The HEAVY HEAVY use was over last 6 months; but the 2.5 hrs before that I was usually daily but just not at the dosage I finally put myself at to "feel" good.

Last time I used and just sniffed; it was no where like it once was; plus I took 8MG bupe that AM and sniffed at 5PM so it prob blocked a good percentage, esp. for a shooter. didnt do much which I am happy about; although, I did feel a "buz
 
Not working at the moment but I can't get out of bed to take a piss(literally I've stayed in bed for like 4-5 hours at a time in this position) when I get real sick, much less work so I guess that's really all that needs to be said. If I had some extra cash I might take the time needed to get clean but these days I just can't afford to be laying around for 2 weeks or so.
 
so what is happening? you are NOT WORKING and you are NOT USING.. but yet you say you saw you cant afford to be laying around for 2 weeks because you need cash. makes no sense. do what you gotta do, tho. I understand not all have the time to just pack up and go to a rehab and TRY to get better; bills, family, other things that come first. sick, but true. I would have said/done the same but all my rehabs/houses/psych ward visits were based on arrests, OD's, etc. ONE TIME I went voluntarily (only to please GF and fam) and stayed 2 days. had someone come pick me up and left; ended up going home and getting a hotel room and almost killing myself, AGAIN! but woke up that next morning and was like WHAT THE FUCK! still had left over dope so was happy w/ that. ha.

Thanks for killing the thread, butthole.

Haha.
Yeah, what the fuck, dopeheads? I gave my fuckin use schedule. Let's read yours.
I read enough of you claim you're functional users. Let's see how you do it. I'm all ears, err eyes.
 
I've gone to work (office job behind a computer) on various stuff several times, but I've cut that out lately. I smoked some weed at my first job but it's just too obvious with the smell, blood shot eyes and fuzzy brain. I tried meth a few times but got way too paranoid and fidgety at my desk.

Yayo is a pretty good fit and I've been to work numerous time after a few (or several) lines. I believe I appear coherent, but it does make me a little too chatty and a little bit "off". Plus I can't really focus well so in-depth tasks become near impossible. I'm completely sober at work now. I'd probably be more down if my coworkers did it woo.

A pretty boring experience, but that's me.
 
I actually managed my job & drugs pretty well.
Used the bathroom to shoot up. Never left my works or drugs in my locker.. they always came with me.
Believe it or not, while on dope, I can be a workaholic. I mean.. shit gets done at the work place if I'm high. lol
But if I'm sick, it's a totally different story. I'll slop around and try not to do much of anything.
There was only one time where I was sleep deprived & did a little too much dope.. so I nodded off in the back of a trailer for about 30 minutes.

My typical work day (Without time)
- Wake up, shoot dope
- Watch TV until work
- Go to work
- Come home
- Eat
- Shoot dope
- Sleep.
- Repeat.

In between all that, I'd normally cop right before going into work. So replace 'Watch TV until work' with 'Cop dope before work'


The key is not to do too much dope to where you're nodding out.. I do just enough dope to where I feel content & energetic.

sounds like mine but my first dope blast is afternoon (noon to be exact) and my 2nd follows around 6/7. also throw in benzo's in there at some point in time. when at work my benzo dosage was next to nothing; talking 1MG klona pin or 1MG xanny; nothing too heavy. more just to make myself "think" I took something "good" and will be feeling EVER BETTER NOW! thats sick, right?
 
Hahaha. I hear you man, but be careful mixing those combos.. Benzo's & dope usually ends up with me nodding my face off. lol
Actually, benzo's is the reason why I got fired from my 2nd job. I had a dealer on site at my job, and I'd buy a shitload of xanax & klonopins off of him every paycheck.
Well, one day, I took a handful of xanax & k-pins.. 2 hours later, I fell out. Everyone knew. It was completely embarrassing.

& Sick? Nah, man. That's the way most of us drug users think...
But, yeah.. I can see why you said that.. Maybe it is sick.. lol
 
I fell off the wagon recently. I do a .5 gram in the morning of 7\10 with half a dub of coke to spring me from my bed.
Im a server so I can't nod. Could u imagine? Nodding out and dropping a bottle of la crema on a lady in a cocktail dress.

I think opiate addicts tend to find jobs that turn a blind eye. I look at it like its my insulin...or if I was giant robot my hydraulic fluid. I grind to a haul without it.
 
I dont LOVE nodding unless I am home; that how I base my usage. also, if I know this shot will get me going ill go out or someshit. but if I am home and I have nothing to do ill shoot to nod and also smoke some weed; the usual, right? ha.
 
For a long time my job and drugs went hand in hand if you catch my drift. I got up on every possible hustle I could.

Waste not, want not.

I have worked many trades and well they all involved drugs in one way or another sooner or later. I guess I took the shortcut to easy money. Its not easy though. Far from it. No matter what I changed I always met people who were into the lifestyle.

I don't think everyone fucks with the lifestyle. Some people just cop dope. I kept getting wrapped up in something new. I dunno if it can change but today I ain't fucking around and well I am hurting because of it. I think my habit would make most people green with envy but to me it ain't shit.

You pay the price. Sooner or later you always pay the price and pay the piper.

When you make your bed you gotta sleep in it or run like hell.
 
I suffer from chronic stomach pain so my doctor gives me a generous prescription for pain meds, specifically Dilaudid. I'm an IT professional so my job typically isn't stressful or demanding in any meaningful way. My pain can and does flare up at any moment and usually at the first "hint" of the pain coming I have 15 maybe 20 minutes to take medication before the pain becomes enough to make me start throwing up. So yeah I used to have pills on me all the time.

Unfortunately (or fortunately as the case may be) I have a naturally high tolerance to pretty much all medication not just pain meds so I don't typically get high off of the pills unless I take a bunch of them at once and even then it just makes me a little drowsy and in my work setting it wouldn't be a problem.

Over the years the pills had less and less effect (I refuse to take greater quantities even though I'm sure if I asked I could get a larger qty on my scrip) and due to the nature of my illness the longer I go without relief the worse the symptoms get up to and including having to make a trip the ER for dehydration (after throwing up every 30 mins for several days) and extreme pain to where they have to IV me with pain meds to get things to calm down. So I started crushing up my Dilaudid pills and liquifying them so I could get a more efficient result out of them.

I inject subcutaneous/intramuscular so I get a pretty fast turn around but not the rush/high. It took a little experimenting but I'm now down to a dosage where I get my pain relief quickly but with no nodding. It makes me a little sleepy still but I have all my coworkers trained that when I'm having a flare up I usually sit at my desk with my hand over my eyes and rest for a little bit. Sometimes I shake from the pain (real pain not just acting) so they get concerned for me and tell me to go home but I just tell them that I'll be fine I just need to rest a bit. Sometimes I actually do fall asleep like this but usually 30-45 minutes later the pain begins to subside and I can resume working.

As "luck" (lol) would have it I'm a diabetic as well so I carry my diabetic testing supplies at all times. I have the insulin pens so I don't normally need the vials/syringes but I carry syringes loaded with my pain meds anyway for when the pain flares up. I'm very careful about handling my stuff but I figure if I do get observed with a needle the diabetic angle will serve as a cover. I make batches of the pain stuff in vials, I went online and found a few insulin vial labels and print them out to put on my pain med vials so I should be able to pass casual observation no problems.

I've gone to a few events where they check bags and whatnot and whenever the look at my diabetic bag and go "Wats dis gooby?" I just say "I'm a diabetic, that's my meds/testing kit,. "DEEZ R NOT TEH DRUGZ UR LOOKN FOR. HE CAN GO ABOUT HIS BIZNESS" they typically don't even give it a second glance... I think due to HIPPA laws and whatnot they aren't supposed to inquire further but whatever, I can answer any questions they throw at me so I'm not too worried.

TL;DR - I use opiates at work daily with no appreciable affect on my output.*

*Disclaimer: I intentionally take as low a dose as possible to just cover the pain at hand so that might disqualify me lol.
 
I used to get really blazed before work all the time. I have taken benzos at work. Now I just occassionally smoke weed before I go home and leave all my stuff at home, dont want the office smelling like bud at all. I have definitely taken speed a many a time but that was years ago. Being sober is honestly the most efficient.
