Though I am not a long time user and more of a chipper these days, I definitely felt that during my time using I was able to conceal it rather well. It was only when I started abusing cheap fentanyl analogues that my habit really started to expose itself to the world. I'm glad those days are behind me, for sure. Now I stick to the tried and true drugs for the most part. Good article.

I think Dizzle said this some time ago, maybe it was someone else on here.
"When we are high almost everyone can tell. However, that does not mean they will tell you that".
I worked in a University for years and since then corporate life
I have finally come to realize that in no doubt however much I thought I was hiding it they all knew something was up.
I am not saying they know it was H, but they knew I was not "normal"

I have used amphetamines for work all throughout my life and know no different.

I often wonder if I would've achieved more without drugs but I will never know.

having said that, I still took the bulk of my drugs after work though - I didn't make big decisions under the influence.

when I got kicked out of work I lost access to my impending redundancy and I blame meth for that very expensive mistake ... I lost too much sleep and let someone push my buttons.

I think one of the big reasons some people are able to stay high functioning has a lot to.do with there resources, say for example a high functioning addict loses their job or goes to jail for a month if they have a significant other with a job in place or a family to help them out during those timea they spend to much and get behind they can remain high functioning addicts, money for a sub dr so they alwayw have a back up if there sick ect even those whos familys dont know still have the samw.support because theres someone there emotionally.and finacially to help even if their families dont know what their helping them with

Many successful people use/used drugs. I definitely think it has a lot to do with resources as stated in the forum already.

Many political leaders are reported to have been addicts/used drugs regularly.

Some examples of political leaders using narcotics- Rob Ford, the mayor in Canada who was a good ol crackaholic.  There's footage of him smoking crack with either the bloods or crips, can't recall which.

Bill Clinton- former governor of Arkansas, and  US president was said to have been smuggling coke through Mena, Arkansas.  Supposedly he was snorting and smoking coke to the point he's been hospitalized several times for cocaine overdose.  Check out the Clinton chronicles if you wanna hear some crazy shit about the Clinton's.

JFK- former US president, supposedly any time you saw him walking around or publicly speaking was because he was pumped full of pain meds to combat his chronic pain problems.  It was said without them he could not even function enough to walk or talk.

Adolf hitler- used that good ol German marching powder. His personal physician would shoot him up a few times a day with what was claimed by his doctor to be a mixture of vitamins and minerals.

Nancy Reagon-was said to be addicted to sleeping tranquilizers, and rumored to be her motivation for starting the just say no movement.  Fucking hypocrite.  And her husband was diverting drug money to fund illegal political wars.

I'm pretty sure I remember seeing video footage of Both  presidents george bush jr, and Obama admitting to using cocaine before becoming president.

I wonder who else we will find out is using drugs?  I think there are a lot of high functioning addicts, despite what N.A. or recovery groups will tell you.

With the high volume of heroin usage in the US, there will surely be political leaders using it.

I'm a high functioning addict
I have did plenty on heroin
Some of it I can't even remember.

When we invaded Afghanistan.
We found out that mothers were feeding their kids opium balls
To suppress their appetite.
Well our western views.
Told them they were addicts.
They don't have a Pashtoon word
Addict. So we opened rehab for them
To help with this new problem they had and didn't know about
Thank God for the us of a
MERICA YEAH MAN MERICA

I don't think alcohol is a drug
More like a poison.
When you do to much heroin
You nod out. Most of the time

To much alcohol you drive home from the bar.
Crash your car and kill people.
I come from the land of drive through daiquiri shops.

If they legalized heroin
I don't think you would have as many
Deaths from people driving on heroin.

That just made me think.
With all the death caused by drunk driving
Why is there not a war against bars?

I ramble I know
