Do you know a junkie personally?

I wasn’t passing judgment bro, we all have our shortcomings.

I think comparing someone who becomes addicted to painkiller due to legitimate pain resulting from surgeries or illnesses is different that someone who becomes addicted from pushing the “recreational” envelope and has fair warning, but consciously still chooses to go down that path.

Damn I didn't even finish thread after I read this. So, you think people (junkies you say) are either stupid with their choices, or a person who had surgery and just hooked on the pills from that correct? Damn that is shallow bro..... WTF? I guess you really never thought of emotional or mental issues when typing that, which you seem to go through a lot yourself. Did you yourself quit drinking 8 or 9 moths ago, but now are back to it, or are your threads bullshit. Sounds to me like the junkie is in you my friend. Ever consider help? Don't deny it bro.... identify it within. Step one. Also, crack is one hit and you doing it again. Heroin sux balls. Puke and puke, no thanks. Maybe you should be careful with your wording a little, that really made you look like an asshole.

Let's see, I have three friends that are cocaine addicts, one of them is a junkie. He's lost everything, his long time GF, one of his cars, one of his homes, multiple jobs, and has been arrested for possession a number of times in the last few months. He's waiting to be sentenced. The other two are functional, but I can't stand to be around them.

I have an issue with booze. I'd binge drink when I'd go out, and would drink every day. I wouldn't get wasted, but would definitely not be sober. I could probably count on one hand the number of days I wouldn't drink in a year over the last few years. I went 8 months without drinking anything, had a few last weekend and didn't have any fun with it. It's tough though, I could see myself slipping back into the habit of daily drinking again. It keeps me numb.

Wow.

What is with the people saying all users steal. That's wrong. I myself am an addict. Once you are, you are. So the fuck what. I don't steal, and I don't use anymore. But I am still an addict. Wow, this thread really made me think twice about some people here. Shallow, and uneducated. Come on folks. Your at a illegal substance board, and your downing junkies. I believe there are plenty of junkies at this site who are in denial. Take the first step. I won't point out any names, but I personally know of three hardcore junkies on this site. For I don't talk with many people here.

I just think that's the experience a lot of people had when they first found out how bad some peoples' problems are. I'm pretty sure for every addict that steals from their grandmother there are 10 that are reasonably functional that are able to hide their habit. It just hits home more when it's a friend or family menber that lies to and steals from you to fuel their habit. It makes it personal and easier to pass judgment.

Another pick3 thread in the shitter

I have known many. My brother was an alcoholic and eventually killed himself. A good life long friend od'd a few years back off herion. My ex who was a member here(jade19) got so bad into meth that I had to kick her out and haven't heard from her in years. Don't even know if she's alive. A girl i was recently seeing was an alcoholic and was on methodone due to an opiate addiction. She is in treatment for 90 days now. We talk often and she seems to be doing great and is happy. I hope she makes it once she gets back. I have many friends that are drunks, and I try not to hang around them to often. I could go on and on.

Thanks bro.... I had to leave for a bit as I just couldn't believe what I read....

My apologies to pick3, even though I know you probably could give a sheot or read what I posted. Bumping old threads sucks. What does it accomplish? Nothing. That is the second one today. If it was that good of a thread wouldn't it have been sticky? Just sayin'...
Discuss, and Pick3 gonna slam me but that is OK as I deserve.
Have at it.

An orb I went to school with has been abusing for years now.

btw, he's a fat bastard ... prob 360-380 lbs.

btw, I'm watching "Intervention" on A&E now.

Yeah he died. Was sitting in his crate and died with his needle still stuck in his arm. I guess he got a hot shot from his dealer.

Pretty sad. IMHO
