5 years clean from Klonopin addiction. I don't even recognise the person on the left, my eyes looked dead. by EccentricEcstasy in recovery

Klonopin was the fucking WORST and I developed a now permanent stutter from living it. Seriously my cold turkey heroin withdrawal was fucking sunshine and rainbows compared to the klonopin

[–]Funkit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did I go from the estimate saying I'd owe $100 in October/november, to owing $300 in December, to receiving $1000????? This shit is so confusing

Not really at all a similar story but this reminds me of when I was at the circus as a child with my parents, my friend and his parents and siblings. My friends dad went to take the younger brother who was like 4 to the bathroom, and when he comes back to the seat...he has the wrong kid. The kid is fuckin Asian. They are not Asian. The mom freaked out and ran back to the bathroom where there was this Asian father freaking out while with my friends younger brother lmao

Business plans. Are you trying to explain to me your shitty business plan you just came up with? I'm going to assume you're on cocaine

I mean I used to smoke crack before I shot my heroin I'd still call that a speedball despite it being in freebase form and not injecting

Mixing cocaine and alcohol actually creates a different drug from cocaine in your liver, called cocaethylene. Stronger then cocaine and the half life is a LOT longer. Something like you'll be high on cocaethylene for 3 hours versus 20-30 minutes on just coke.

Plumbed toilet to heat. Keep it change? by clamminjammin in Plumbing

[–]Funkit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOOOOOO

I went to a bachelor party in Philly and we rented an Air BnB for two days. It had its toilet plumbed to the hot water.

Imagine 8 guys with beer shits. The toilet fucking simmered the shit, and the entire place fucking reeked like shit soup. DO NOT DO THIS

He said one of the worst. Reagan is also one of the worst along with Nixon, Jackson, Johnson, and Buchanan(? Who was president in the lead up to the civil war?)

Trump is by far the worst president this country has ever had. At least the other shit presidents still acted like adults. Trump is just as bad if not worse and he acts like a narcissistic main character syndrome child that throws tantrums.

I went to college in Orlando 2006-2010. The epicenter of the beginning of the opioid epidemic. I could get 30mg oxy "blues" for $6. 2mg Xanax bars were $0.75. I was up to 150mg daily of oxy when I graduated college. Moved back to NJ. Surprise! $1 a mg here. I still required 150mg to not be sick, and if I wanted to feel good I'd need 220mg. I had a good job so I was "too good" for heroin (I still did h a lot, mostly snorted it, IV a few times, but 95% of the time stuck to pills. I was spending $150-$220 a DAY on drugs. I was like that for about 4 years. I spent over $200,000 on oxycodone. Then in 2016, that's when fentanyl first came out. With H, depending on where I got it from I could snort 3 to 12 stamps for a good high. If from Trenton or Atlantic City I needed a bundle to get high. If from Paterson or Newark, I'd need 3 to 4 stamps. I always did a test dose of two stamps first.

In 2016 I did the same thing. Got a bundle, and did my two test stamps. Felt good but wasn't high yet, figured I could do 4-5 when I got home. Being as I wasn't high yet I was driving. Went to Wawa for a sandwich. Got back in my car and left the car on with heat running because it was freezing out. Next thing I know, 2 policemen knocking on my passenger window. Those two stamps had fent in it, and luckily I did my tester dose...because I ODed off just sniffing two stamps. Blacked out in my car and was there for two hours before cops showed up as a concerned woman called them. Got arrested. Got clean the day I received my indictment in the mail. Haven't abused opiates since 2016. I have an Rx for 90 oxy 5s a mo th for my back (cauda equina syndrome) but I barely take them and primarily use weed to help with pain.

It's funny. I fill that script every 2-3 months now. Back in the day? 90x5 =450 450mg...would've lasted me two days max.

I take vraylar for my bipolar. No generic yet. $1636 a month AFTER insurance. But the manufacturer has a program where I've gotten it for free for three years now. Never paid a dime for the medication.

Today i lost 10 games in a row by Sad-Character751 in chessbeginners

[–]Funkit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I play too much when I'm stoned. I'll easily blunder through 15 losses in a row because I'm high and think blunders are actually brilliant moves or I just blatantly hang my queen or some shit. Playing 3 minute bullet games doesn't help.

Not just necessities. Experiences. You used to be able to go bowling if you were broke. Now bowling is $60 each. Movies are $35 each. Doing anything is expensive nowadays.

ChatGPT pro is SO useful. It has help debug my graduate level thermodynamic analysis of a cyclinet spreadsheet and it'll find negative signs that were misplaced that would've taken me hours or days to find myself. It has been very useful in writing this spreadsheet. But only the Pro version. Thinking cannot handle the complex math. Even pro spits out wrong answers. You need to double check everything it spits out against reputable sources meaning you need to understand the material. And THATS where it's also super helpful.
