The Whining and Bitching Thread

Ozz: Yeah, I still haven't even been sentenced. It happened at the beginning of October, and I still have a court date on the 29th of next month. It's going to suck, but I'll deal with it.

Neph and D_T: I thought the exact same thing. I think part of it was due to her naivety and the fact that this had only been going on for a little under a year.

Schmidt, that will probably have to happen.
 
I didn't mean to sound insensitive, by the way. That's a lot of shit to deal with. That's a rough addiction to handle, too. Its impressive she managed to stop and stay stopped. That's the exact kind of person that should be given a little less reprimand. A rough patch in the life of most people is not the same as being a criminal
 
Oh, I never would have taken it that way. You've always come off as a cool dude, and we still need to get together and chug 40s at some point like we discussed years back. But yeah, even the people she stole from have said basically what you just said. The initial reaction from everyone she wronged wasn't outrage; is was just concern for her well-being. Anybody that knows her knows that she isn't that type of person at all.
 
It's a monster to kick. I've been there and on speed. Bad. I'm lucky I've had such great family support to help kick all that. Its fucking awful for everyone. Eek.
Addo, chugging 40s is something I'll always be willing to do. Sucks you won't go to MDF cuz I think this is the year I go.
 
How do you know? Are you actually using?

No, but I just know that pills cost more than Heroin. People like pills (hydrocodone, oxy, what have you) because it's a lot easier to dose and it's less addictive.

I don't recommend Heroin use at all, but if you're taking FIFTY Vicodin pills a day (I still don't know if I believe that), you might as well just use the big H. His mom probably would've had to steal less stuff too.
 
I'll tell ya right now Vicodin is nothing like Heroin. Although I've only snorted, the brown sugar is unbelievably addictive from the start

Actually, taking a shit-load of Vics will give you the exact same high as heroin. It just takes a lot less cheeva to get to that "nodding-off" stage. I smoked it a few times when i was younger. Wasn't my thing, i like downers ... but not to a point where you basically turn off.

But fuck all that shit anyway .... nothing but beer, whisky and flowers for me. I've seen a lot of good friends just about throw their lifes away after taking their first hit of that shit. :(

edit: oh and 50 vics a day is muuuuch worse than heroin. ... almost incomparable. I'm surprised that her liver was able to handle "50" pills a day. That would kill most people within a week.
 
Yeah I agree with you for the most part. I was just saying that the addiction is different. I developed a problem with V over a long period of time but the H had me fiending from day one and I stopped that shit right away.
 
I take vicodins from time to time because I get all these little injuries from baseball and I don't really feel a high at all. The only time I ever felt a high from meds was when I was in the emergency room and they doped me up on some really nice shit. And then I understood how people got addicted to that kind of thing.

And why would anyone even try heroin?
 
Man, Guy that really is a lot. Hoping everything is settled soon. It's better that it's caught early to be honest. I know someone who had a double stroke and is immobilized due to years of frequent use of pain meds. Safe recovery to your momma.
 
Jeez... I feel like I've got it bad sometimes, but I was easily one-upped by 3 or 4 of you on the last couple pages.

I've been off weed for nearly all of the past year. I hate being sober, but I made enough bad decisions as a pothead that I know I can't go back. Yay for boring adult life.
 
Vacuuming the apartment today, and the cord for the blinds gets sucked into the cleaner. I have no idea how it even happened, as I was holding the cord in my hands so as to lift it out of the way. I must have pushed the cleaner closer than I realized, for all of the sudden I watch as the cord begins flying into the cleaner's mouth like a rope after tossing the anchor overboard.

I have my headphones on, so this all happens in a manner somewhat removed from me - my sense of sound was severely dampened, as my headphones are very good. Anyway, I watched as the cord is pulled taut and the red warning light on the cleaner goes on: it's jammed. This is not surprising to me, but what was surprising was that the suction of the vacuum was so powerful, it pulled the entire apparatus for the blinds off of the fucking window, which then came crashing down on my head.

After screaming "Piece of fucking shit" at the top of my lungs (I'm almost positive the entire complex could hear me), I proceeded to pick up the blinds in order to put them back in their proper place, only to discover that the piece of plastic necessary to secure them is broken. So, fuck vacuuming.
 
Late to the party. Guy I wish your mother all the best. Opiate addiction is monstrous and there is a serious lack of compassion when it's talked about. Wishing your mom all the best.

Sorry about your DUI. I hope someday soon you can enjoy sobriety. It isn't that scary. <3
