I need on the weekend

[RayFinkel]

I work my ass off all week long and need to even out on the weekend. Whaht I mean is I get to work at 7:00am and dont get home till 6:00pm or sometimes 9:00pm and crash and do it all again till friday.

Do you think its such a bad thing to use Coke, Weed or even get smashed on drinks to even myself out. I usually do all three to get so Fucked up and out of my mind cause my stresslevel is overwhelming.

Do any of you understand this lifestyle and have no problem with someone living this way. I dont hurt anyone and feel so refreshed Monday morning that have no problem in repeating this again week after week.

Try getting a job @

I was thinking how crappy it is to be at work this morning. At work, while rest of the city is sleeping or playing.

But changed my mind as I saw two model-like hotties walk into the building. It was like sitting in the front row of a fashion show. With the two Asian ladies dress in very tasteful causal. Movie-star like, the only thing missing was a pair of sunglasses . They strut their stuff doing the catwalk showing off their young and beautiful look.

Both appeared to work for one of the big 4 banks. Both prettier than dancers and MPAs I know.

Instead of escaping with drugs, try applying to the bank. If anything, at least you want to go to work for the eye-candies. I'm not into drugs or alcohol, others who have tells me, its so much shittier afterward.

You may want to try get high on life rather than be high.

To the two Asian ladies, if you are reading this, PM me.

Wow, you bust your ass all week and then use your money to support the drug trade? If you need to use cocaine, marijuana and alocohol to make yourself feel better or less stressed out... www.na.org
Why not ease up on the workload and enjoy life a bit more.

Hey if I had a stressful job and worked long hours I'd be havin a few beers and taking a few tokes off a spliff too (oh wait a second...I do). Hell, I've worked jobs drunk 65% of the time. Had to do it or quite (which wasn't an option). As for the coke well...I can't do it cause I like it too much and don't want an expensive habit that will eventually mess up my whole life.

If you find you need to do drugs to level yourself out. you might rethink your position and why it causes you so much stress. If you can not be happy with what you do. Why do it?

I have long hours and high stress.. I find the big issue is... you have to figure out where your stress is coming from (often self imposed). You also need to make sure your boss understands and is aware of the situation. If your boss is unaware and has no plan to resolve, I would find a new job. If you are self employed, I would find an outlet that does not involve substances. Every person I have seen who has reverted to substances has crashed (the amphetamine users were the worst). It is not something you can maintain long term in my opinion, and you need to typically keep taking more and more to get the same effect.

Instead of drugs, I would try physical exercise (including sex) and music. I usually avoid these "free advice" threads (it is usually worth what you pay for it) but I got weak (gotta be the stress .

Regular user. Not even recreational. Using alone. Combining drugs and alcohol. Yup You are an addict. get help before you fry your brain and end up deteriorating into useless mush.

I'm not going to give you the "say no to drugs" speech because that's not what you came here looking for. I have been where you are and everything seems great right now, but your stress levels WILL get higher and your weekends will get a lot less fun and relaxing. Suddenly, your job will become a very scary place to go to and your weekends will come with the same amount of stress that your job holds right now. It doesn't sound to me though, that you are interested in exploring other ways to relieve your stress so I wish you the best of luck. The road you're traveling down is sneaky. Enjoy your sleep while you can, cause in about 3-4 months you won't be getting very much.

What a pitiful existence. If my life ever resembled how you are describing your, I hope that I would kill myself as you clearly have nothing to live for except your fix.

try exercise

I always mocked those who ran or jogged. But I recently got into it and as burnt out as I am during the week with the high stress levels, the bullshit, the worries... after an hour of jogging on the weekend, I have a better night sleep, I feel refreshed and invigorated.... I used to do drugs, smoke and drink and it did nothing but make me lose energy during the week. I'm not saying to give up your habit, but I'm just sharing my new motivation.

I think there are many people out there who can identify with the original poster. I think that's part of what he was looking for in his post.

But at the same time I think people are when you're combining drugs to make yourself feel better that is probably the sign of a deeper problem.

Having said that though I think the amount consumed also makes a difference. I think someone who has a beer or glass of wine with dinner doesn't have a problem unless what they call a glass is really a pitcher to most. Some goes for drugs a joint or a line maybe two is not really a problem if its done on the weekend.

Is your habit preventing you from doing other things on the weekend? Do you still make time to see friends or family? Do you pursue other hobbies or interests on the weekends?

For me a nice stress relief weekend would be going to the MP on Friday, grabbing a nice meal, lounging on the couch with a movie, getting good night sleep (i.e. sleep in till I feel like getting up), then on Saturday go out with friends (doesn't have to be anything crazy just a chance to hang out and have a good laugh....bowling, pool, poker, golf, bbq whatever), then Sunday is usually another day to sleep in watch some sports. But Sunday evenings is usually spent getting some paper work done for work.

Anyways, I don't really have time to do anything fun during the week because I'm too busy with work but I find even a simple weekend like that is enough to give me something to look forward to and to recharge my proverbial batteries.

Since we're all adults here I won't bother with a say no lecture but simply suggest that moderation is the key (in other words watch how much you use and make sure it doesn't interfere with other social activities and hobbies).

Best of Luck

I have long hours and high stress..

Instead of drugs, I would try physical exercise (including sex) and music...

Ditto. If it wasn't for workout, I would not been able to survive my ordeal or even sleep. So isolated at the time, the world is sleeping and you are so wound-up and stress-out.

I don't like gyms, schedules never works, so I invest in my own workout machine. Best investment to keep my sanity.

Work-out, long walks, music, few mins of quiet moment to myself (even @ work) to treasure the fun I had in the past, helps me get past the occasional crap we've to put up with.

The water was great this morning. Try walking along the boardwalk as time permits.

A smurf?

As far as Raylacesoutfinkel goes, seek help, and seek it soon. You ask if there is anything wrong with getting totally fucked up on coke, weed and booze - ummm, yeah! The fact that you do it every weekend means you have a problem. As far as doing no one else any harm, tell me, how many times have you drove while on any one of your vices. Are we to believe that you lock yourself in your room and cut yourself off from the rest of the world all weekend? If so, it makes you pathetic to be doing that alone, but if not, then there is a potential risk to society. Also, once you finally do OD, you'll be rushed to the hospital and therefore be putting an unnecessary strain on the health care system. So while they're reseciutating your sorry, druken ass, some other guy is being neglected. So yes, you are potentially harming others.

Problem.....

This guy may or may not have a problem, depending on how you look at it.
The fact that he even questions it in the first place means he knows its wrong.

But one thing is for sure, he is only posting this looking for attention.

I know tons of people in your position. But you have to realize with coke - it may be recreational now but over time it will take over your life. Right now you probably use it to get energy and to go out and have a good time but soon without realizing it, your life will revolve around it.

I knew a buddy who did the most idiotic thing on it, he turned down a super hot girl he's been sweet on just so he could run a rail

that's when you know you have to get your pirorities straight

 

[red]

get away from the coke. moderation in the other two is fine

 

[lickrolaine]

there is no job that has that much stress,the stress is manufactured by the individual.If there were jobs that made us do drugs because of stress,we would have a society that is fucked up more then it is now.Doctors would be the first in-line for drugs followed by cops,lawyers etc etc.
Stress is manageable without recreation drugs,it is bullshit for someone to think that they can justify using cause of a job!
look into your past,find out what it is that is fucking you up,fix it and move on.there are a lot of people that would trade places with you in a heart beat and not worry about the drugs,look around you,they are there.

...behaviour modification...

...is one of the most difficult things to do...

Is there anything wrong with how you are living your life - YES!

You certainly need to learn more about stress management - start today. Also, exercise will reduce stress. Pick up spinning or boxing or running - ANYTHING requiring physical efforts. Try getting some sleep on the weekends - you sound like you might be sleep depraved. Yes, I know you do not want to give up some fun but you need to give your body a serious amount of rest. If not, you'll crash HARD.

Do you have someone special in your life? Do you have any pets? Any close friends? Any hobbies?

Do you enjoy your job? What things in life make you happy?
