I have been coming to this site for a long time now (just recently joined, though) and this is the first time I have felt compelled to comment. Can someone please tell me what exactly a "Valid Victorian" is and how do you "do" school. I am happy for you that you have quit and stayed clean, but as for saying your IQ hasn't "droped", I do wonder.

And for you, razecrusher, I completely agree. I know it sounds insane but even though I did all that shit. My IQ never droped. I was valid victorian of my 8th grad class and I graduated highschool at the age of 16, due to being able to push myself at my own pace when I was in 10th grade I was able to get all my credits for 10th and 11th grade and I had only 2 and a half credits left my senior year. And then I was finished with 2 years of college by 18. I don't think drugs hampered my ability to do school I only think it hampers the social life. And that means a lot when your social life is mainly with your family more than just friends.

Wow. Damn it hurt a lot with this one. Cuz I myself, believe it or not was an addict to many drugs while I was growing up. And yes I am 19 although I have been sobber since I was 14. At age 10 I got into the small shit and by age 12 I overdosed and my heart flat lined in the e.r. from injecting too much meth. Hell I remember the feeling with heroin and I have to admit I had tried it only twice but I think if it wasn't for the overdose on meth and my family throwing me in rehab, it might have ended up becoming another drug of choice other than the meth, weed, extacy, and acids I did on the regular back then. But damn, now looking back at all that shit I did. I can only say that if it wasn't for my wonderful husband and beautiful lil kids that I would probably dead at this age. And yeah I agree that I do need a release every once in a while but hell, that's what smoke shops are for. I would rather smoke the fake weed and keep my job then get hooked back on the real shit and lose it al.
