Well A friend got deported and died, I did 5 years of probation and started going to school. That showed the judge that I was serious about turning my life around so she dropped all charges and about 5,000$ in reparations.

Turned around before but always ended goin back to drugs. Took my girl breaking up with me to make me wake up and quit using everyday and finally quit smoking pot everyday my head is so much clearer and i feel like im ready to conquer the world without any woman or substances distracting me i got my priorities in line and am in a hard on pursuit to start my own business and make hella money. My two main priorities, get my money up, and by a nice ass truck.

Yep I got accepted into university for my bachelor of commerce and was an IV meth addict last year. You just gotta stop the drugs and stuff comes so damn easy if you are not retarded.

Black people are 32 percent of prison inmates in florida but are about 15 percent of the population. The idea you are treated the same is ridiculous.

Not in florida.

White kid I was locked up with did 60 days for minor possession, and all he got caught with was the blunt he was smoking.

Supposedly though, I know that was his charge though because there's a little kiosk thing and if you look like a chomo (he did) people will make you show them your charge or they beat your ass anyways.






I fucking hate when people throw these bullshit statistics around. Did ya ever think that maybe the percentage of people in jail is equal to the percentage of people who did the crime?? There is obviously a disproportionate # of blacks that do the crime in the first place in some jurisdictions.
I was arrested for DUI in Baltimore and can tell you without a doubt....I was treated worse than the black street dealers were...both in sentencing and in bail amount..,..It's pretty much reverse discrimination in Baltimore and anyone that says otherwise obviously hasn't been there!

I was a heroin addict. I lost everything and moved from my home Alaska. 2 years June 15th. I had 2 really good jobs. Hooking up with pretty girls. Im clean now and doing pretty damn OK. I have no complaints. I drink every day but I work hard and play hard.

Getting back to the theme of this thread.....Yes, I did 16 yrs. ago going from a hopeless drunk/ addict to a person with some dignity, a house on the water, a business, and a incredible love of my life.
I did this with the 12 steps of AA and will be forever grateful.

The way I lived, had I continued, I would surely be dead now.That is no exaggeration.

I just quit drinking. I had an amazing trip last Friday and it made me confront alot of stuff in my life. One of the bigger things is accepting I need to slow down on my drinking. So I made a pact with myself to quit for 6 months.

Drugs are literally what turned my life around, and I will never frown on them or give them up because of it, I just use them responsibly. Wouldn't join the service no matter how low I got in life either. I got arrested because of my shit when I was in my teens, didn't turn me around, but it ended up making me way better at not getting caught in the first place.

Still want to do more with my life, nothing is holding me back besides me though, I just haven't done what I wanted to yet because of insecurities I guess.

They turned my life around in a ton of completely positive ways. Mdma being the main one after my first dose I realized holy shit I'm actually pretty awesome. That was the key defining moment that first roll. I'm very confident in myself.

Heroin ruined that. I used to have so much money but now I'm rebuilding but am still happy. It's a part of who I am now. But I have no regrets. I do actually have  a lot of them but I'm not going to stress about it. That's life.

MDMA is the one I can't wait to try, having found any real or pure stuff yet though.

Ive never really royally fucked up. The biggest change I've made recently was cutting down on my drinking and pot smoking. I'm already seeing the mental and physical benefits. I'm not as tired and my short term memory is better.

I'm still in the process of reforming my life.
Was addicted to Heroin 2 years ago, addicted to etizolam last year after quitting heroin.
Now I just take a little kratom on occasion for pain management and to quell cravings.

I still hold the belief that the problem is the user and not the drug.
The way that drugs change me is relieving in the short term; but counterproductive in the long run.

I have ulcerative colitis, and recently my condition went into remission; but as a result I got really bad internal hemorrhoids from the sudden changes in my bowel movements.
Now I'm living back home; had to cancel the contract I was working on and am just letting my parents take care of me.

I'm probably going to put the private contracting on hold for some time and get some accreditation via school and other credible programs for my field.
That way I can just act as a manager rather than having to act as contractor and laborer; in case my condition starts giving me problems again.


The hardest part for me is to swallow my pride and admit that I need help; in any form.
Kinda comical that quitting heroin and benzos was no problem; but those damn hemorrhoids got me. :lol:
Luckily now I'll be getting the tests done that I should have gotten when my symptoms first started presenting themselves.
Hopefully my condition stays in remission. It'd be nice to not be so fatigued all the damn time.

The nice thing about being an addict is that you have a purpose. It is to get that drug. When you are sober and doing nothing you just kind of exist.
