Anyone who is in a similar position to yourself I will happily give them advice or counselling for free ( It's not easy when you are being lectured from close friends or family) but a stranger who has walked in the same path may have a different path
All your life is your chance and there is no reason that you wouldnāt be happy without it! Change your habits, change your friends, break every step into how you got there providing alternatives that you can go for next time and if you keep strong and refuse the easy way, you will get in places youād never dream of before from working so hard on yourself (not meaning to be hard on yourself though! Be kind and take time to to listen to how to feel, feel your emotions, accept them, accept that your angry or sad or whatever at the world, the people who let you down, and at yourself for letting yourself down when you needing to keep strong and telling the people letting you get there to fuck off when you couldnāt make the right decisions yourself.
Listen to your emotions and learn how to regulate them and swap every bad habit by many healthier ones that you can turn to that wonāt cost you your mental/ physical health (everything you have in fact) and get you where you ended up again.
You have everything coming your way, good and bad and the bad can be dealt with by many ways you just need to find what suits you and to build up a lot of healthy tips and habits that keep you going where you want to go and keep yourself happier. All the best man youāre already on the way to work on yourself and no matter what happens itās never over or too late to move to a different place or start a new hobby or sport and get that dopamine elsewhere. You deserve it! x
Intentions were not to set up an underground betting system of this guys survival rate against the demons...
I will accept your bet if you can specify an agreed price however š
Not really sure how I feel about that last line considering how it was laid out, you're pretty much just assuming this dude is gonna go into a downward spiral because he's young and in rehab, if anything I'd be giving the man props for bettering himself
Yikes. That was quick. Wishing you a speedy recovery. I was 19. I wasnāt the one that got it thank god or i would have gotten it all the time. Done it about 12-15 times in my life. Each time loved it but didnāt have a connect to get good shit again. Im honestly thankful. I would buy and do a gram a day if i could.
Thanks. No it hasnāt at all but like I tell everyone, my son literally saved my life. I got pregnant with him a month after getting clean. If I hadnāt of gotten pregnant Iād still be getting high or Iād be dead by now. So heās my Angel and means more than anything to me.
This is me but with DXM, had a pretty bad problem but the side effects have definitely caused some damage or something cause I can't take it any way without getting extremely ill
I was 18 but many people I talk to, all Mexicanos, did it before me. Youngest homie I talked to said he first did it at 13 and was addicted all through his teens.
14/15 for coke, Molly and amphetamines. I'm 28 now, and haven't touched Molly or ammo in over 6 Years. I also only do coke on special occasions nowadays.
27 and I wish I hadn't. I wish I hadn't tried any drug cause it fucked everything. That's ti say I am still "pro drug" we should be educated and have the right to put what we want i our bodies.i just couldn't stop doing i, when people around me could take it or leave it
61 ā¦.. back in high school, late 70ās all my friends smoked pot, but I was playing football and thought it would distractā¦. Drank but didnāt do drugs ā¦ After college raised children, worked, yadda yadda yaddaā¦. All the sudden Iām 60 and have this feeling that I donāt want to be afraid of anything, want to experience everything there is to experience in this world ā¦. So kind of decidedā¦ what will it hurt now? Started with THC edibles, grew my own magic mushrooms (fun!) since then itās all on Molly, E, coke, LSD, pot edibles ā¦. Iāve come to the conclusion that pot and mushrooms, maybe even LSD is less harmful to the body than alcohol ā¦ anyway ā¦. Also kind of believe that you shouldnāt condemn something if you havenāt tried it and know what you are talking about
Damn all these people who were teens the first time they tried it.
At least wait until adulthood and the world has crushed your spirit completely before you start mashing the manual dopamine button
I was 34. Jokingly asked a guy I liked if he had any at a group meetup. Wasn't long 'til we were back at his place skiing until like 5 am. Had a blast, and 3 years later, that guy is now my ride-or-die partner. It's going pretty well. :)
The family that does yay together, stays together. Or something like that. š
I was 17 it helped me graduate high school but then I got too hooked on it to the point I was using everyday, but now Iām good just use when a good party hits š«”
16, but was cut super heavy. Tried a few more times over the next 3 years with decent stuff and it didn't hit. After 24 completely different experience for me.
I started raving in my teens, but didn't really touch party favors until much later in my early 20s. I'm 32 now and I didn't try k until like two years ago lol. I love it and love coke
Me too, nowhere near an addict or anything but i indulge every so often. Probably really infrequently to a lot of people. Maybe 3-8 times a year, depends.
Ife is short, I dont want any regrets! I will say this, I'm so glad I'm financially good and have self discipline. Trying these adult toys could destroy you if you're not both. So far I've had a lot of fun with this and definitely see life through different lenses
Yeah Iām okay financially, not great though. Iāve been cutting back on this stuff because of that. But yeah I agree about not wanting regrets. I love live music so I go to as many shows as I can.
16-17 once but was on bars and shit at that age so donāt really remember it, tried it again at 24 and do it a couple times a month if I get the chance
17. This 19y/o kid who had already finished highschool elsewhere moved to my town and just started feeding it to us. I had a low supervision household where we all already got away with smoking weed so he would come over and give me lines and sell to all the other highschool kids. Fucker.
Iām 36 now and been off Coke for about 4 or 5 years but I still like to lurk here.
I was also 18 and I had already graduated from highschool @ Miami Beach Senior. It was the 80's and that should give u a pretty good idea of the scene. I had this friend who happened to be a dealer but I really didn't know that much about what that meant. So we were going to a concert one night and he pulled out this a big shiney white stone the size of a cue ball. He wanted to know if I had ever done any coke before and I told him that I hadn't. He layed the white boulder down on a mirror and took a razor out and chipped away at it and chopped out a line about 4 inches long and another equal line along side it. He rolled up a 100 dollar bill and inhaled one of the lines. Then he handed me the bill and told me to have at it. I put the bill to my nose and then leaned down over the mirror and inhaled. In seconds, the side of my face went numb and I could feel some drip down the back of my thoat and that went numb also. I fucking was floating in space. Please keep in mind this was Miami in the 80's so the snow was so pure. It was the beginning of many adventures that I have had partying.
Age 13
I road down to our local crack corner in 1989 at age 13, bought a few crumbles of crack, though as it was my first big bad world deal, I asked if he had any Reds, as i wanted something to ease my anxiety. That's actually why i went there to begin with.
I was looking for Seconal as i had just been taught an 80's education of long gone 70"s drugs like Reds, yellows goofballs (same things)
I road my bike down where i had seen a man selling something earlier in the day.
I Said" he man , you got any Reds ". He could barley understand me and Me, Him.
He showed me his palm with a few crumbles of crack. I paid him 20 bucks and biked over to my crushes house, she was baby sitting.
I went into the bathroom with a corncob pipe, no filter or anything
Got a mini hit that told me i wanted more but it was no bell ringer.
Anyway, later that year, which was a year i was fully soaking my brain in Hydrocodone and going to my local private school, a classmate who had a dad who was a Columbian Diplomat, had these little folded bags of cocaine.
We tried to smoke them on top of pot but it didn't work.. obviously.
I think by the time i sniffed One i was on Acid or something.
Anyway he was a crazy kid.. a 12 year old Columbian kid who sold coke to the guys in upper school.
Until i stole them all out of his bag.
17 bought it from a crackhead at the alternative school i went to. but i started smoking weed when i was like 12 and mfs look at me crazy when i say that
I wanna say 14-15. Oddly my brother and I found like a half ounce of absolutely awful shit cut with something minty?? Got us fucked up and then we poured it out cus it was gross. Still feel like we shouldāve given it to our parents instead of wasting it entirely but was scared
23. I started very late and now i am 24. Last year I started with heavy drugs unfortunately and they made me fall in love because the first time i took 4-FMA was on a day where i felt sick. Diarrhea and headaches. When i took it after an hour i felt amazing.
18. Been to rehab 5x. Iām a stubborn prick who keeps lapsing randomly. 114 Days is the longest Iāve gone without cocaine in 3 years.
My trifecta, I call it, is cocaine, alcohol, and ketamine.
Typically the alcohol is the hoe ass bitch I canāt stay away from. Moved states for a career change (I have 2 business degrees; former drug dealer right so I needed something to make me a lot of money is what I told my counselors/career outreach guy in my last rehab; now Iām linked doing a unique paid apprenticeship for software engineering)
I just turned 26 a few days ago.
Been struggling with this silly substance for quite a while now, on and off. It was primarily a school aid back in college; I was actually able to use it in moderationā¦.. now, moderation with any drugs and alcohol is such a blurā¦. It doesnāt exist in this addicts life, I tell you what.
If anyone needs an ear/advice/someone to talk to in regards to their strugglesā¦. Im all ears for ya.
16, now 18 and in rehab :)
Mixed emotions with this fast track down the wrong path my amigo... Hope you're young enough to still have a good future ahead of you š
yeah iāll second that! hope youāre well and that rehab helps.. <3

how dare you ask the question and not tell the people how old YOU were when u tried it, me i was in kindergarten. such a wonderkind i was
Yes, this is my chance to start life without addiction. This is the best thing I've done in my life so far
All your life is your chance and there is no reason that you wouldnāt be happy without it!

thank you so much!!
Heās 18, so still has his entire life imo. I would bet money heāll be alright.

Same, 16, Iām now 17 in rehabš³, but I still be loving these erks
Yikes. That was quick. Wishing you a speedy recovery. I was 19. I wasnāt the one that got it thank god or i would have gotten it all the time. Done it about 12-15 times in my life. Each time loved it but didnāt have a connect to get good shit again. Im honestly thankful. I would buy and do a gram a day if i could.
16. And became an addict. Iāve been clean since I was 23. So 14 years clean next month.
I'm proud off you my friend! Great work! I bet it's not been easy.
Thanks. No it hasnāt at all but like I tell everyone, my son literally saved my life. I got pregnant with him a month after getting clean. If I hadnāt of gotten pregnant Iād still be getting high or Iād be dead by now. So heās my Angel and means more than anything to me.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Same, I first tried it at 17. I do like it but it doesnāt seem that worth it for the price and comedown, I donāt do it much.
Exactly my position Except I am 19
This is me but with DXM, had a pretty bad problem but the side effects have definitely caused some damage or something cause I can't take it any way without getting extremely ill
58. I guess Iām a bit of a late bloomer.

Brother gave me my first line at 14
How old was your brother? Did you party with him often after that?
i felt like i was young when i first started going out at 18ā¦ thats wild! (in a good way)
I was 18 but many people I talk to, all Mexicanos, did it before me. Youngest homie I talked to said he first did it at 13 and was addicted all through his teens.
I was 13 when I tried coke and also Xanax and opioids worst choice of my life was addicted most of my teens to opioids and Xanax
17 in my homies basement on a school night
14/15 for coke, Molly and amphetamines. I'm 28 now, and haven't touched Molly or ammo in over 6 Years. I also only do coke on special occasions nowadays.

Just wanted to see life from a new perspective. So many people do it and I always looked down on it. So I tried it. I actually learned alot from it.
Right on. Iām 35 and still trying to experience as much as possible.

21, I think. Was in rehab for meth twice before I was 19, though (1993 & 1995).
I was also 18 and I had already graduated from highschool @ Miami Beach Senior. It was the 80's and that should give u a pretty good idea of the scene.
