MY TWO CENTS:
I never really considered myself to be a drug addict, denial was a huge hurtle that I had to face. I still can't say I have even conquered denial yet. The mind is a absolutely crazy thing, truly our actions are puppets of our true selves. I feel like I buried my true self alive years ago. I still feel as if a last hurrah is in my future, and even though I know how that will end..its literally crazy I still think I am in control.
> Addiction is slavery
As of today, I'm 7 days off the beast they call heroin. This drug truly taught me what it was to be a slave to yourself, if that makes sense. The things I have put myself/other through to make myself "HAPPY" with heroin were shallow/selfish/unforgivable/ and disgusting. After 7 days, I can say most of the withdrawls are over..I have not slept in a whole week though..that really sucks. Opiates are not a joke.
I'm going to cut this short, maybe I'll expand on my thoughts later. Thanks folk..peace luv

best of luck with your interview dude, if you get the job i hope you can find a strong network there that can help you transition so it isn't too much for you to handle all at once
Meh, im doing okay. Going to a job interview tomarrow, where if i get the job i'll be working 12-16 hours a day. So thats pretty cool, won't have the time to be f*ckin around. Kinda scary tho because cash is obviously a vice lol.
pretty sure our generation is a lot less into hard drugs as say our parents, who were for the most part doing sh*t like pcp & quaaludes(s/o bill cosby)

whast this even mean? people like drugs? did people not like drugs before this current generation? is like drugs a new thing? have you been alive long enough to *really* say that nobody liked drugs before now?
speaking as someone who was raised the exact same way, it's ok to try these things when you're older. i drank for the first time when i was 18, i love getting drunk now. i didn't try weed until last spring, i love getting high now. but you should only do what you're comfortable with, even if it's a new step. don't be afraid to take as much time as you need to figure out if it's for you
