And you'll never be alone like me so enjoy it. One Day at a Time..

45 days is nothing to scoff at. If you are thinking about getting your fix every second of the day (standard) and didn't for that 45 days, that's 3,888,000 times you didn't give in. you are practically making it your bitch by that point.

i hope you give yourself another chance at success, as many times as it takes.

trippy this thread appears, i was a hard core alky from 2008-2011 , now 2012 im drinking ery day and its gone to shit. wata life ae. gg

BOOOOOOM goes the dynamite... well done my friend. Im glad you posted it even if you were a little late...keep this hope alive for those who still struggle.

This post is more aimed at those over 30 years old or so. Those in their twenties or younger need not apply as it would be crazy hard to stop in any circumstance that young.(i got sober at 28 but there is no way in hell i could of done it under 25

even though i have been sober for 9 years i still dont really understand why people who have had clean time(say 1 year or more) go back to drinking.

I know some of them think they can contain themselves this time around but FFS...even in my prime when i was halving fun i was still a gigantic dipshit. i look back and go who gives a fuck if i can drink socially, i was always a dipshit when i drank anyhow, so why go back. I guess i just assume people who have had some time sober would think the same way. I mean...most alchys were still somewhat crazy even during their good years.

i dont know...i guess some people go back cause they dont give a fuck anymore as well.

but lets put to sleep a certain stigma that follows drunks around. People who have had clean time (1 year or more) dont go back to drinking because they are alcoholics....they make a choice to drink again...albeit a dumb fn choice, a choice done on their own will power.....its what happens after the first drink that causes people to be alcoholic. Before the first drink we can still have a shot...but after that first drink our odds for complete chaos increase dramatically....

He definitely fits the stereotype of a junkie but I don't dislike him as much as I did when he first started a few months ago.

all I read was.....some drug addict who is probably going to die gives me 15 dollars so I can get him higher faster. I take the 15 dollars because it means more to me than his life.

so what do you do with this large amount of life changing money?

Next time....just have him give you 30 and he can get high in your back seat. Save you both a lot of trouble and you double up.

(of course I don't know how much heroin cost but you can figure it out)

Help me understand why you do/did this rocket? please.

yeah no way in hell am I taking a heroin addict to get his fix

why the fuck would you get involved in that at all?

Junkie: Can you drive me to get some heroin?

Me: Sorry man I don't want to be an ass and I'm not gonna judge you for doing what you want but (insert fake story about how a family member got killed using heroin one time and how you don't want anything to do with it)

It wasn't about giving him a ride to get him heroin at first obviously. Junkies don't operate like that. It started out as a ride to the train station which literally is right off the hi way for me so it's not that big of a deal. Then when we got closer he offered me 5 more bux to just drive him to the house he would of walked to. It took him forever to give me that 5 bux too lmao. I only took it based on principle.

Why did he tell you it was to do heroin? "Hey braj gotta do some H, can you give me a ride for 15 bucks and I'll play with your balls on the way?"

Been about 6 1/2 years now with no coke/crack. Personally always thought that powder was more addictive than crack, and while I struggled with addiction at first I probably havent had a craving in 4 years. Always helps to be on probation tho. Got sentenced to 6 months in prison and 6 years of probation in may 2007 for robbery. Since then have gotten married to my girlfriend who waited for me while I was in and bought a house....needless to say if I fuck up at this point Id be more frightened of friends/family than the police
