Dear Reader,
First of all, I wanted to take the time to thank all of you visiting, reading and commenting on my blog. It's up now for just over a week and it's already one of the most popular blogs. (Do I really write that interesting stuff?) Second I'd like to apoligize for any spelling or grammar errors on my blog, because English is not my native language (Dutch is). I enjoy writing in English though.
Now back on topic.
I have had very much unhealthy habits in the past. I've experimented with cocaïne, heroïne, magic mushrooms and ketamine (but those were really experiments, I never got addicted) It is not unusual for a Dutch guy to do this, the social acceptance of drug use is higher in the Netherlands because we make a diffrence between soft and hard drugs. Two other substances I've used A LOT are Marihuana and Methamfetamine. I've smoked Marihuana for 10 years (with some interruptions) and Speed I did only once, but it lasted 2 years ;-) In the time I used methamfetamine I also got a lot of medication for my schizofrenic disorder. You all should know that drugs and Schizophrenia don't combine good at all. At the time I had 14 pills on prescribtion per day! Plus 2 grams of speed plus an occasional joint (marihuana). I really looked awfull in those days, I weighed 62Kilograms while my length is 1,87 meters. (Please recalculate this to American systems on your own, I know a foot is about 32 centimeters but thats all) Two years ago I stopped using speed and one year ago I also let go of using marihuana. I now only have 1 injection (medication) per two weeks and if I feel anxiety, I can take max 2x half a pill of Tranxène 50mg (it's like valium, but a bit stronger and longer lasting effect.)
So by quitting my drug abuse I effectively arranged to get lower medication as well, which all in all just makes me feel much better. I look more healthy now and I weigh 82 Kilo's which is very healthy for my length.
The only thing I use today is alcohol. I never had drinking problems and I never drink till I'm drunk. I just drink socially, maybe a bit more social than others but not problematic. (I don't drink for work for instance, I don't drink liquor, only wine and beer, I seldomly have a hangover.)
Now, my question to you: Do you use drugs or alcohol? How are you handling it? Has it ever taken over your life? Please comment, I'll reply in the comments if they're interesting.
