In school we are being told that drugs will ruin your life, you will end dead on the side of the road eventually. Yet there are many people here that are addicts and having fully functional, normal lives. They work good jobs, family and what not.
Tell us your story of how you manage to combine your addiction with normal, happy life?
Pretty much an addict success story?
I'm in my sixties. I've smoked pot for forty five years, almost daily. I use recreational drugs whenever I have a day off- LSD, MDMA, ketamine, shrooms... anything. Coke from time to time, no more than three times a week.
Next week I'll go to a retirement dinner to celebrate the end of my career. There will be a few state-wide papers there, and it'll be a wonderful night. I'll be high as a kite, counting the minutes until I can go home and smoke a bowl. I'll put on the Rolex, accept the car, and no one will know I've been high at work at least twice a week since 1972.
I've watched my colleagues go and dry out, over and over. Pill poppers here and there. Through it all, I've taken one sick day.
I hate how much this sounds like bragging- but if you're looking for a successful addict, that'd be me.
