Drugs I've done

#herion

What have you done to many mushrooms? I prefer to eat them.

 

. I was drinking day and night for a few years. Waking up at 4 am to drink and shyte like that. Been through withdrawals a few times. It was a full time job buying booze sneaking it around and hiding empties. Got my DUIE. Still have a beer WHILE driving pretty often. If anyone cares I could elaborate more.

Like you I was outwardly fine 90% of the time. Ran a business. Pursuing a master's degree. Etc....

Found an awesome gf who cared enough not to judge. Told me to take my time but if i was serious i needed to change but if I didn't, she didn't care she just couldn't be with me. I think I just needed someone to tell me they didn't care if I drank instead of. "You can't drink".

So. I'll have a tall boy after work and maybe a shot or 2 a few days and that's about it. Some weeks I won't drink at all. The urge is pretty much gone. I just don't enjoy being effed up anymore.

As far as other drugs i smoked weed but I can't noe because I get tested. Did 1 key bump ever. Not for me.

Tell more about the rehab. Past experiences. Is anything different this time? What do you expect? Etc

 

Thanks for sharing, good luck getting/staying clean.

 

I'm an alcoholic. I try not to drink during the week but that sometimes goes out the window and I'll have 8-10 beers. On Saturday if there are no waves which is most of the time, and I've mowed the lawn, cleaned the house whatever I'll start drinking on an empty stomach at 10am, eat some food, pass out. I blame it on nothing else to do in my town but it's really because I don't want to do anything else it seems. I used to. I have a good job with benefits. I had a cardiac arrest and died but was brought back to life, doctor says I'm destroying my liver. My experience but helps to let it out sometimes. Thought about rehab but I don't know....

 

Honestly, I've done it all, with the exception of crack and meth. I shot dope for over five years. As a result of this I am now sober for three years. Surfing has a major impact on my sobriety and keeps me sane. Look if you are struggling with drugs/alcohol I would suggest rehab to get a physical break from you environment and give yourself a shot at getting things out of your system. Personally, I go to AA and its the greatest decision I've made. If you don't want to do 12 step programs there are a ton of other options out there. Just commit 100% to whatever you chose. Getting sober is like paddling into a 12 foot bomb you think you have no shot of making, but instead of eating it you get the ride of a life.

 

Never really had a drug problem although I did party a lot maybe too much and much more than most. Coming from a broken home and ending up in the wrong crowd I was definitely on a path of self destruction. Idk what the defining moment really was. I guess I realized that I had some talent when it came to surfing and got tired of missing swells due to all nighters. It also helped that I witness some good friends and incredible surfers go from having it all to living out of a garbage bag.
Kudos for the courage others here discussing your problem.

 

Sorry boys.....ZERO sympathy.
But good thing, for those that believe they need help, that you are seeking it.
Man up and get to work--you don't need help, you have just been spoon fed that you do. You can resolve it on your own.

 

I'll buy a tall boy something cheap and cold for the ride home after an afternoon surf. its 30 minutes of mostly rural roads from most spots i surf, so sipping a cold beer thinking about the waves is just so perfect. Delaware used to not have an open container law....i think that might have changed recently...still...no harm the way i see it.

 

I usually wait till I get home but one day a few months ago I left work / home early because it was going off and I couldn't stand looking at it on the cams any longer. I had an epic session and was feeling kinda froggy so I hopped into the store to grab a 6 pack and a toasted sub. I destroyed the sub and had a cold one or two by time I got home, 15-20 minutes away.

 

OK maybe it was 3 that I had.

 

never did any hardcore drug use. Probably smoked way to much of da kine. Psychedelics where cool to experiment but I probably would never do them again. +1 on the after sesh cold beer. Why do they go down so good after surfing???

 

I think it's the salt water. Same reason beer and salted peanuts / mixed nuts go good together.

 

Hey Bary. Pretty sure no one asked for your sympathy here. I agree with your second part.

 

I keep a big Starbucks coffee cup in my car for "road sodas". I'll sip it sitting right next to a cop at a stoplight.

 

Heheheh. It's a great feeling. Great post.

Standard reply from a miserable washed up geriatric.

As for drinking and driving, I dont agree. Too many sad, tragic stories as a result.

Some good stuff on this thread, good luck to the guys that need a kick is the arse and stay positive!

 

Right, wasn't asking for sympathy and wouldn't take it. Just telling a story as that's what was brought up.

 

Iv done allot. Basically everything. Don't do anything but drunk now. Never had a problem. It was about jabbing fun and partying hard. Never a addiction or something i needed. Guess i just got lucky or am good at moderation. In my prime though i was doing E like it was candy. 4-5 pills a night every week. It got crazy. During that time i wasn't surfing really. Once i stopped the crazy partying i started surfing allot more. Happy for that.

I'll still drop some acid or something every once in awhile. But pills/heroin..... drugs i consider addict drugs, not party drugs....i stay far far far away from. Seen way to many people ruin there lives. And it always started with pills. I won't even take the pain meds I'm prescribed after a surgery or whatever. I'd rather deal with it than risk the alternative
