I started smoking weed regularly at 14..ill be 28 in mid-July. Around 15-16 I started recreationally taking 2 mg xanax bars and the 1 mg blue footballs before I stumbled across my uncles script of 120 15 mg roxys..I experimenter with a few and ended up stealing like 40-50 of them and eating around 4-5 a day until they were gone. I ended up having a drinking problem shirtly after starting around 17 years old..and when I say drinking problem I mean I was drinking a fifth-half gallon EVERY day (I was 160lbs soaken wet)..I would also smash a couple 30 racks of beer a couple times a week. After getting a D felony theft for stealing a case of beer, and the acquiring 3 DUIs before the age of 21, my probation got revocated and at age 20 I was sentensed 2 years in the department of corrections, followed by a year of house arrest, followed by another year of probation. It wasn't until I went to prison that I ever saw anybody shoot dope. But I never experimented because of fear of hepatitis/aids/needles at that time. When I was released from department of corrections to house arrest I started drinking heavily again. Around a half fallin every two days..from oct 2007-oct 2008 frm being on house arrest and drinking so much I jumped up from 160 lbs to 210 lbs. Around my 22nd birthday after I completed house Arrest and began probation, I knew I would be drug tested regularly and wanted to move on with my life so I started working out and training mixed martial arts. Shortly after, I started fighting professionally. (Boxing and MMA/cage fighting) in my first 18 months of fighting I ran through 13 boxing matches and 11 MMA bouts. I suffered so broken hands/boxers fractures that required surgery on my left with pins places in my metacarpals..healed from that and then in a cage fight in got kicked in the head. Needles to say, I suffered a tripod break in my orbital (crushed the 3 major bones around my eye socket/broken nose). I also had some nerve and muscle damage in my inoculates oris/obicularis oculi aka the muscles in my eye ball..I also had acquired a solid back injury to my lumbar and top 2 vertebrate of my spine. I never had it medically treated (the back issue) but from being in the fight business I was introduced and had access if I wanted to a shitnton of opiates and pain killers as well as anabolic steroids. I started out taking Vicodin..before moving on to OC 80s..then those became obsolete and I started dabbling in roxys/dilaudids/and Opanas. Once I began using opiates on a regular basis, I just flat out COULDNT drink anymore. I don't know what it is but whenever im consistently using opiates, my tolerance as well as taste for alcohol and beer goes completely away. I took a break from fighting after winning a title fight..i relinquished my belt and gave it up (it stressed my family out...they didn't want me getting pugilistic dementia before age 30 lol)..so i continued to use opiates out of joy, as well as self medication to cope with my personal problems and depression. In def 2013 Instarted snorting heroin..made it to July 2014 before shooting it. I took a few subs and tapered off the opiates for around 2.5 months and immediately went right back to being an alcoholic. I could drink like a fish again. Finally I hooked up with an old girlfriend I used to date after running into her at a bar one night and she told me she was prescribed to 4mg dilaudids: she took me back to her house and we broke down 4 of them and snorted them before Having the wildest, craziest, animal like sex ALL night long..after I woke up the next day I ordered up another big batch of dope and started shooting again and have been ever since. But since then I HAVENT drank at all except maybe 2 beers a couple weeks ago in one sitting. Idk what it is but when I'm using opiates and heroin I cant and don't have any urge to drink..but as soon as I stop using..I go right back to heavy drinking. Baby way, enough of my rambling..ibjust did a fat ass shot and it has me wired up and this post took me on a trip down memory lane so I figured I'd share with whoever does or doesn't feel like reading this. Lol goodnite everyone!!
