Struggle Thread mk II - No one likes us, we don't care

I had a friend who started smoking heroin. I don't talk to him anymore, neither does his now ex-wife or kids

I had a friend who started smoking heroin. I don't talk to him anymore, neither does his now ex-wife or kids

Bet he can deal with poison ivy like a champ now though.

[T234]

Counting yesterday, I have smoked it a grand total of 5 days in the past 7 years. Yesterday was the first time in 2 years. It'll be years before I smoke it again, if ever. I need no intervention for that.

And for those of you who say it should be zero days in 7 years; Have you ever been hit by a car? Have you ever been stabbed in the back (literally)? Have you ever taken a beating with a metal baseball bat?

Because I have.

These things hurt alot, and pills do nothing for that level of pain.

Don't worry about me Boreans, only thing thing I'm smoking today (and for the foreseeable future) is weed.

Fell back into depression this month.  Things were going good then suddenly they weren't and I feel like I have absolutely no control over it.  I'm pretty tired of everyday being a struggle just to get up, do work, and eat right.

I felt this here a couple months back. Things do get better, I'm already back on the upswing. You will be too before long.

Just remember this is a marathon, not a sprint.

[Phoenix Dark]

T234 and AiA need to meet

"have you ever played professional sports?"
"have you ever been beaten with a spiked bat?"
"have you ever been hit so hard you shit yourself?"
"have you ever take a hit of china white heron?"

on and on and on as Ms. Badu would say 

[Joe Molotov]

AiA worked for Al Davis, T234 worked for the dirty old porn man. Round 1: Draw.

Holy shit, the guy who owned the porno store even looked like a taller, fatter Al Davis. Even meddled in everything, and was an asshole.

[Tasty]

Uhhh sounds like you have bigger problems than heroin use tbh... maybe consider moving or something...

[Phoenix Dark]

When I come down to Kentucky can you hook me up with a clean milf, bro. 

[T234]

That I can help you with. Got several people on the payroll at Krogers. Tis the milf parade, especially for clean-cut motherfuckers like yourself.

That reminds me, one of the newer guys I play Magic: the Gathering with is a giant (6'9" 320 pound) black dude who works at the aforementioned Kroger's. He doesn't know what to make of us.

[seagrams hotsauce]

FWIW like 80% of people who try heroin don't become addicted and using it for medical purposes is a lot less disconcerting than doing it cuz you just wanna get high, though still disconcerting. A little skeptical that poison ivy in a wound is on par with getting run over/stabbed/bludgeoned, but to each his own I suppose!

Had an ovarian cyst.

Had to get morphine or some kind of derivative of it, I can't stand opiates though so I needed an anti-nausea to go with it. Had to tell them to give me more anti-nausea, felt the exact moment it wore off.

My body wouldn't let me be a heroin junkie if I tried.

 

[TakingBackSunday]

My company just laid off 90 percent of its workforce, including me.  The day before my court date.

Struggling right now guys.  Only thing keeping me afloat is my girlfriend.

[Madrun Badrun]

That sucks dude.

[brawndolicious]

Good luck on finding a new job brandnew. It turned out well for you last time didn't it?

I had hydromorphone once which is a stronger analogue of morphine and it got me hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiazfuck but didn't get rid of the pain. I specifically remembered every part of my body feeling awesome that didn't have a tube or cast on it. I only had it for under 24 hours and felt some withdrawal which was a bitch.

[T234]

Brandnew, just keep your head up.

You'll be okay going to court, just don't slouch in yer chair, say as little as possible, remember the judge is called "Your Honor", be polite, and dress well. Hopefully ya got a lawyer. If not, for DUI, it is not like getting caught with a lot of dope or something.

[TakingBackSunday]

I have a lawyer.  And the dude who pulled me over didn't do anything right in regards to DUI protocol.  Turned his mic off, was off camera. 

[Phoenix Dark]

Sorry to hear that BrandKnew.

[Tasty]

Unemployment?

Also where do you live? I thought I heard you were in SF.

[Steve Contra]

That really, really sucks.  Hopefully court goes your way and you can at least get that part behind you.

[T234]

Do not speak unless spoken to at all. Let your lawyer do ALL OF THE TALKING.

Holy crap, that's wretched. You'll do fine in court, and it will be behind you.

The job thing timing sucks utter balls, but you'll be in a better position soon enough. You actually seemed pretty frustrated by the place's unwillingness to let you do your job.

I actually have a great severance package.  Salary/52 times 7...it's a decent figure.

I'm still in Nashville.

I already have a few companies emailing me in Nashville and SF, but in really worried about what the outcome of my case will mean on my possible employment.

[I'm a Puppy!]

Holy fuck, 90%?! that's the end of the death spiral.
What do you do exactly? I might not love you , but if you're in tech I might/might not have a contact that can help you depending on what you do.

[Samson Manhug]

Seven weeks of severance isn't bad at all, Brand New. Good luck with court and your job hunt. Don't worry about the case—you can't control the outcome or companies' HR policies, so might as well just apply and hope for the best.

[Cerveza mas fina]

Hang in there Brandnew.

[Am_I_Anonymous]

I got poison ivy on mah face. It is as unpleasant as you think it is. Over here smoking pure #4 Heroin to kill the pain.

Doesn't make you sound cool. Makes you sound idiotic.

I smoke heroin because my face hurts dude. Typical addict bullshit reasoning.

Hate to say it but it won't hold up. Had a friend get a DUI and the cop's camera mysteriously "turned off" from the initial follow until he was pulled over. They called it "Computer issues" but it didn't override the fact he was drunk and failed all the field tests. Sucks but don't believe they hype your attorney is spouting bro.

For a OVI? Nah you'll be fine, I assure you 1/2 of upper management in most places has one or two under their belt

Sky walks that come from fly talk are just a black box after the turbulence.

But if we do that shit you gotta wear your PS hat backward like Bishoptl cause you ain't got the game to have a name.

[Phoenix Dark]

It's on. And afterwards we hitting a club.

[Am_I_Anonymous]

It's on. And afterwards we hitting a club.

Do we smoke heroin before or during our club visit though? I want to make sure my street rep is up in Detroit, been a while.

I mean I can still handle farmington hills and shit but hamtramck cred probably needs a boost/

I didn't say it was. Did ya read any of the rest of my posts?

Of course not, the only drive-by you're capable of is drive-by posting. PD gonna give you that work, old man.

At least I'll live old enough to be one. Who know the next time you smoke heroin for a sprang ankle might be your last? 

Is it going to say "Had good drugs" on your tombstone? Because that's literally all you ever talk about. Kinda sad.

[T234]

Unlike most people, I know what I am doing, and own equipment to safely measure such things. My Analytical Balance does down to micrograms.

Statistically, the police are more likely to shoot you than I am to kill myself with carefully weighed doses of known purity.

And it was never over something as trivial as a sprained ankle.

Coming from you, that's rich as fuck, Mr. I-Played-Pro-Football-So-I-Know-More-Than-You.


Don't make me write another country song about a borean. I did it once, and it was pure savagery. You can ask PD about that.

[Am_I_Anonymous]

Worse things have been said about me by more important people. Life is a lesson in learning how to accept insults as additional forms of attention

Didn't you make a thread extolling the joys of coke like a month ago? Glass houses and all that

Heroin kills bro. I don't want to see a good dude get caught up in that shit man. Tough love.

[mormapope]

Any form of speed is worse when it comes to long term usage, a lot more damage is done to your body by using amphetamines, meth, cocaine or crack. Humans aren't meant for overclocking. My brother died by abusing amphetamines and booze, amphetamines made him schizophrenic due to how he guzzled them down and he became completely different person.

Opiate abuse is more dangerous in the short term, but if you recover from addiction I don't think there's any negative long lasting effects.

Even if someone has a grasp on opiate use though, it will always be 


Mainly due to undesirable people I've met that were total junkie fuckups. My other brother became addicted to heroin. Seeing all three of these drugs abused is a fantastic life lesson.

Smoke weed, do hallucinogens, MDMA is good, ecstasy is good if it isn't cut with bad shit.

[Shadow Mod]

I'm generally skeptical of anyone who's spending quite a bit of time extolling the virtues of any drug in an obvious attempt to justify the usage more to themselves than anyone else.

[Am_I_Anonymous]

AiA worked for Al Davis, T234 worked for the dirty old porn man. Round 1: Draw.

T234 turned down 50 grand in straight cash to work as a bodyguard for someone when he found out his would-be employer had a cartel bounty on his head.

And I made what more than 10 times that when I was 20? Who brags about this shit? More so who does it vicariously?

[TakingBackSunday]

Case was bumped to January 19th.  My attorney is pretty confident that I'm gonna be able to plead down to wet wreckless with just points on my license and increased insurance rates

[Madrun Badrun]

I have 100+ monthly electric bills.  Shit is stupid. 

[Tasty]

$40-50 electric bill

[Shadow Mod]

$40-50 electric bill

The only plus side to Nintendo gaming?

[Madrun Badrun]

Na its running the AC every single day of the year. 

[Rufus]

You don't have central heating?

[Tasty]

$40-50 electric bill

The only plus side to Nintendo gaming?

Although Nintendo systems do consume way fewer Kw/h compared to any system from MS and Sony.

I haven't turned on the heat more than a couple times this winter, which while milder than normal is still pretty cold. But I don't need to turn the heat on since the place is super toasty, maybe cause I'm on the fifth floor and everyone below me is blasting it or something.

Doesn't really go up that much in the summer when I'm running the A/C a lot, either...

[Madrun Badrun]

No its a new building with like 8 other people.  Thank god central heating sucks ass.

[Brehvolution]

My electric bill isn't bad. It's the gas bill that I hate.

Gas used charge: $30

Gas delivery charge: $50

I'm paying more to rent the pipes in the ground than the actual gas being used.

My house is like KFC

A big gold box with wings in it.

My electric bill is about 125 dollars a month brehs.

[Tasty]

Heat/AC is included in my electricity bill.

Got Comcast down to $120 but that's still too much, gonna cut the cord soon now that I have SlingTV and it works on Chromecast.

(To be fair my rent is kinda crazy.  )

[nachobro]

Meanwhile I just uncut the cord cause the only way to get fast internet from Comcast here is to get some dumb TV bundle.

[Madrun Badrun]

Ate a dozen cookies in a sitting.  Now I feel like shit.
