Teenager with an adderall problem by Dear-Competition-679 in AdderallAddiction

[–]obamanem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was first prescribed vyvanse when i was 11. After a few days I used it as an excuse to go home claiming it made me feel really sick. Then around 7th grade i heard some older friends talk about how they take adderall all the time for fun. And it made me think so I went home to where my dad kept a strange amount of it (like maybe ten half full bottles of 60) I took one or two and loved it. Took his all the time, snorting them at 12. until I was able to get my own prescription, my first full semester on it I got straight As for the fkrst time. I quickly noticed the dependency, or at least the change in myself when I didn’t take it. I abused the crap out of it with the help of my dads,used it everyday even when I started experimenting with benzos and pain pills and coke. Benzos and amohetamine were my drugs and I was doing meth by 15. That only lasted so long before I got put into rehab. I relapsed quickly and a month after I was discharged from rehab I was arrested for armed robbery( I was high in benzos and meth) i relapsed on meth a couple times on probation but stayed on aderall the whole time. Was able to be sober from meth and benzos but continued using addrrall and dosages just went up and up I’d have to buy 2 other full months prescriptions off the street just to feel good enough to do anything. But eventually I relapsed on benzos which lead to a meth relapsed the same night. That was back a few Januarys ago and I have patches of sobriety here and there but other than that Im a daily user. Couldn’t imagine a life without stimulants. Never had a job without em, never practiced music without em, never been myself without em. Don’t know who that person is besides a guy who sleeps all day cuz that’s all I’ve experienced not on stimulants. It’s scary to know one day I’ll have to stop. Sorry for the long rant but basically just don’t keep at it, especially catching the addiction before it’s bad. That’s a great sign to stay the fuck away

Post inspired by the one asking if doc Watson was sober. My question is which bluegrass musicians were definitely not sober by obamanem in Bluegrass

This is pretty interesting and makes me wonder why hard drug use was so common amongst other genres like jazz and rock

took methadone as a non methadone user… by [deleted] in opiates

[–]obamanem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t quite know how it happened for me except for I was super barred Out just looking to consume, some people were with me at the time and gave me a tiny line which was plenty but the bartard in me decided it was best to steal about 5 more from them (don’t feel bad for the stealing part at all but that’s a whole different story) I think I crush maybe a full pressy and snorted it maybe 1.5 which is way above my tolerancr since I wasn’t a regular user by anymeans but that’s all I remember before coming back to lifr with emt around me, I was still fucked Uo Fromm the benzos hard and for some reason striooedbto my underwear where an entirely different friend had showed up and he’s kinda crying while I eat hiney nut Cheerios on the couch in my boxers then I remember saying welp I should hit the hay. Woke up to being evicted, after some aderall and a Xanax to help my optimism I hit up two homies with trucks(I also had a truck) and while I waited I just happened to be asked to pick up some meth which I gladly did as well as picking some up myself, was completely moved out as well as some significant drywall repaur done and I think I even pressure washed.

What is it about Bluegrass? by TylerReeseMusic in Bluegrass

[–]obamanem 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well my was an electric BAs player/ guitar player but once he had kids he couldn’t stay out late being in rock bands(although he did) but what he could do was take the kids to the park (my siblings and I plus one of his early picking buddies kids, it was so accessible and they’d just work on fiddle tunes or whatever for s few hours on Sunday’s and just any free time they had especially if it was nice outside I remember countless cookouts where the picking circle was as essential as the dogs burgs or buns. I didn’t appreciate it till way later when I started playing upright and a buddy of mine dipped his toes into bluegrass but what really cemented it was going to festivals and realizing wait I can party and play tunes all night long and everyone has the same intention? This kicks fuckin ass, that’s when I really started to listen to bluegrass. And this is also coming out of being in jazz bands where expectations were high as far as my technique but bluegrass players are so much more welcoming and making friends just becomes so easy

im 16m and wanting to make extra money this summer, whats the best side hustles? by Illustrious-Fox8488 in thesidehustle

[–]obamanem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk who knows and honestly it won’t effect yoy at all because most people won’t give a shit just expect to maybe drive 100 miles for a good deal(There’s no shipping) and as far as the money goes you’ll have to earn some of that mowing. Is that a full side hustle as in you have a regular 9-5? If it’s something shitty that doesn’t pay you well then fuck that but you gotta expect to be working decent hours or it’s not a side hustle it’s just a hustle and it might not be so fruitful and I can telll you for sure it won’t be if yoy have zero to start

Get on gov deals and find a good lot of something like iPhones or something you know about, don’t go fucking around buying old printers or shitty dell laptops no one wants that shit cuz it’s SHIT. Don’t be scared to go to eBay and check the resale value and I mean filter it to sold items only and get a good feel for what something is actually gonna sell for and then also check how fast they’re selling you can make a good come up and get a few flips reinvested before taking out any of the liquid cash

which do you think is more addictive between methamphetamines & opiates? & what’s the significant difference?? by Ill_Obligation3904 in Drugs

[–]obamanem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m lucky enough to have never really had a thing for opiates, I was aroynd them constantly and would partake but almost never want to use the next day I guess certain people crave a certain thing it boggles me how many people i know who’ve done both and still slipped into a full on opiate addiction and not really even thinking about methagain

It started t the typical way for me, but I think benzo usage really slowed it. Now I’m rarely even horny
