I can satiate that curiosity. Funnily enough I went weirdly backwards, I had a smoking buddy who was massively over prescribed bupe strips and would share them with me, when be ran out I started buying roxies, then that got too expensive and I started buying and smoking tar in addition to my daily 80mg of prescribed Adderal.

I was at community college at the time, kept it together pretty well about a year, but then flunked out a semester, got taken off aid. Then I was homeless/couch surfing for about six months, spending the remainder of my savings and any money I got on dope and sometimes food.

I'd never gone more than a week without using for about a year and a half by then. My turning point was when I cried and begged my best friend to loan me money for food for a month, then immediately spent it all on tar, and just suffered and starved for a couple weeks. I don't even know if he knew I was using.

Anyways, had a freak out/powerful personal crisis following that incident, quit the 150+mg/day adderal and 1-2 gram a week habit cold turkey. Hell week. My luck started turning, I got a job at Target, saved up and got my own place. Went back to school, and eventually finished my transfer requirements, transfered to an awesome university, graduated with a 3.7 in hard sciences. Went to grad school and graduated with a PhD in hard sciences. Now I'm a chemical process engineer, all I do is smoke a bunch of weed and work hard. I lurk around here to remind myself where I came from and occasionally try to help people out with dosing pharms and chemistry questions.

Anyways, that's my story, I just got heart surgery to fix a congenital defect. In a few months I'll be able to exercise and continue towards my fitness goals. However, right now I'm recovering and currently on a bunch of opiates that had me worried about a life I lived awhile ago, and the hell I endured when I quit.

Yeah, that's about it.
