| Oh and Rich- PMS, I started using Drugs at the Ripe age of 14-22. It started with E at Raves and escalated to H when I finally hit rock bottom and went into treatment. Thats when my life changed. Life keeps changing though. I’ll always be the same person but my life and the world will always be changing. That is just a fact we all have to accept. |
My story is somewhat similar, I used lots of psychedelics at raves and jamband shows (phish for example) and began using opiates for the comedowns. Didn’t really touch H, but in the United States we have access to so many pharmaceuticals and grey market opiates that one can get plenty addicted without the help of dope.
I know I got off light in my "bottom", but the last few months of my use I was doing lots of coke on top of the opiates and that is when it got really dangerous for me. When I first started smoking marijuana, I liked how I could "function" on it and go about with life. Later, with opiates I found the same thing. Then after awhile I got very lethargic and tired on opiates. Once I started using coke on top of them I felt that I had found the "perfect combo". I am very thankful that some part of me knew that this was not good and I didn’t go completely balls out with it and tried very hard to restrict my use. But, there is only so much you can do when you use off and on for 10 years. My tolerance was just huge (I had a large natural tolerance to opiates in general, but it got way worse.)
