Originally posted by chzbrgr I honestly am not sure exactly how often with the meth. There were times he mentioned he was doing it, but I thought it was just in short limited increments based on who he knew at the time. He was pretty vain and didn't want to get so into it that it affected his appearance, but I do remember him hanging with a friend named Mark for a while and they did meth together. That started back in 2012 and I think went on for a little while because I finally remember meeting the guy after a few years. He died a year or so after that. Doug honestly would do whatever he could get his hands on. He was pretty desperate for release. Most days he'd have to get up first thing in the morning and walk to the store for a beer. If he'd try to quit or not have money to get beer, he'd get really sick after 2-3 days. I told him if he ever really wanted to quit, he'd have to go to rehab because if he did it on his own he'd die. There was a time or two he did try, and he ended up having seizures.
Yeah my friend who is an recovering alcoholic has them. Just shows you how bad the drink can get. I've had alcohol shakes from epic binges, but never needed it physically. -

Originally posted by Robert Mugabe I didn't know he heard voices How often did he do meth? I know he dabbled in things but I just thought it was mainly beer and the odd toke
in the past few years he was doing it more frequently. When I was binging on it in 2017 he told me he hadn't done it in a few years, he started doing it again a few years ago but I think only recently since covid started to get more into it.
If he was binging for the past few months I could see that leading to an mental health crisis, and knowing him he is probably taking other shit too. If you have a problem with drinking and you start doing meth it's just gonna make you drink a lot more -

I wouldn't actually trade any of the mistakes I've made for your pitiful and sad pathetic life. A colossal motel dwelling imbecile of epic proportions with social issues, and an inability to form close relationships with the opposite sex. You have failed and should expire immediately.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2021-05-04 at 9:09 PM UTCI didn't think i would miss Doug this much. He made me smile and laugh a lot. We gave each other a hard time but i really admired his humor and distinctiveness. He was one of a kind. Sounds like he did have severe troubles, but his only coping mechanism was denial/substance abuse. He wasn't willing to help himself. He always used to make fun of me about taking Lexapro. I could never figure out why. Now i think i know why.

Great points. Douglas shed a lot of insight to us about his life, but he vastly understated how much he apparently did methamphetamine. Prob the worst drug to combine with bipolar disorder. -
2021-05-04 at 10 PM UTCI don't feel bad for dead people, because they're dead. They don't know how you feel about them anymore. They don't know you miss them. They don't know you feel bad about their death. When you commiserate about dead people, you are only doing it for yourself. It's one-sided. Nothing you say or feel about it is going to reach the dead person. As Jesus said, "Let the dead bury the dead."

2021-05-04 at 11:39 PM UTCI feel like maybe it's us who are the problem. Maybe if we leave this community and break with our past we'll all be free to live happy healthy lives.
That somehow our apathy our hate our cowardice brought this about -

Yes you will all probably be better off but no one hasn’t the strength to do it. You’re all codependent as fuck. -
2021-05-05 at 1:20 AM UTCreal talk i hope none of us die, I know it feels like a huge community, but there's maybe 50 of us.
Every 5 that die is like 45% more gone.
just kidding i can do meth really good
but not as good as ghost -
