I’ll do a better intro.
My name is Alex. 29 years old born in 1991, thus my username Is Alex_1991. Pretty slick right? I also have a tendency to overuse imgur and youtube, so i I have my face posted all over the lounge, which is perfectly dumb like I am.
I am a hardcore crystal meth addict and I’m very open about that. I have a zany sense of humour and an impending sense of peril which comes through with much cynicism in everything I post. I’m actually a very serious person, and I seriously don’t give a fuck.
If that doesn’t make sense, neither does the dichotomy of living life on daily hits of crystal meth so here we are.
Im residing in a small town in Ontario, Canada. I live with my partner (maybe more a very, very close friend, it’s a little complicated) and I am currently employed as a CNC Setup Operator in a local manufacturing facility. To be trained for a programming position. Second man to program all the parts for all the cuts all the machines in the facility. It’s a career changing opportunity.
I am totally fucking that one up right now, because while I’m usually fairly together in my behaviours, outwardly real world stuff, I do have some bad episodes from time to time. Lately I’m slipping bad and every time I’m about to start this job, I postpone my start date for drug related issues and recently strep throat. Most likely due to smoking meth. Strep throat = sore throat = need a COVID test before I can officially start. It’s a mess.
So while my life slowly falls apart and my use of crystal meth continues to escalate, I spend a lot of time on this corner of the web which is Bluelight. I’m equally as much here to promote harm reduction, to help out where I can, and be a support - as I am to piss around and laugh at my own jokes and others. It’s been a good experience. I’ve made a few real friends here who I talk to outside the forums now and all over the world.
That’s what this site really excels at in its core I think. It’s the range of people coming together here for a common goal to just hang out and educate ourselves on the drugs we often use, and everything surrounding it. People from the neurobiology genius on the straight and narrow, to the dead ass twit actively in a psychosis and cranking one out his dick too. And every go between.. so we all come together here and it works out for the better, usually. Unfortunately with a crowd largely comprised of drug addicts, there is a shrine full of those deceased. Harm reduction doesn’t eliminate harm completely.
This place is like asylum for me. I’m severely mentally ill with several diagnoses and I’m in what I consider to be end stage addiction. I’ve been going hard for the majority of the last 15 years, and especially this year I’m 100% dependant on crystal. I drink like a fish many days, and I’m down for whatever else too.
This balancing act I’m performing, I’m starting to tip. My health is starting to fail me too. I fear for my life sometimes, and hope I don’t wind up there before I’m ready to. If I can ever start practicing what I preach with harm reduction in a real viable way, up to and including abstinence. I’ll have a life ahead of me, maybe.
I like to read some, and I write too. I play music and record it too. I’m decent on a computer and have some programming aspirations with a start date in January for computer science in an online university. I have a large cache of empathy for people I try to love others as much as I hate myself. And then it’s vice versa.. sometimes. No matter what I do I’m pretty spun out. Meth and life. And meth is my life.
Sorry that was kind of sad the way it came out.
