    Funny thing is I actually lived that life. I was a heroin addict, I got to the point of needing $200-$300 daily to get me by. Part of my motivation for quitting was the thought that I would have so much money for whatever once I kicked the habit… and once I got off the shit, I no longer had that kind of money. I guess I wasn’t desperate enough to figure out schemes to make that much every day. So this meme is bullshit! I thank the gods I didn’t end up a prostitute at least… but I would probably have more money if I did. Damn it.

      Out of curiosity - what schemes were you cooking up for that kind of money? Given that you said you didnt end up a prostitute the obvious answer is out lol

        I was a functioning addict, and had a job where I was able to tweak the records here and there to make more every day than I should have… by a couple hundred. It was amazing how incompetent the boss man was.

          That’s wild, can’t believe they didn’t notice thousands missing every month…

          Glad you got clean before things caught up

    I’ve told this to smokers all my life. By quitting cigars they could have 2 extra ice creams plus some cheetos every day. Yeah those were my metrics when I started, I refuse to change them.

    Yeah but sucking that much dick is difficult when you don’t have the heroin to forget…

    I think the real benefit is discovering what it is like to be in a pure and absolute state of desperation trying to find enough money to get the next fix.

    You could become a heroin addict, or a CEO that is about to report during earnings season. There is little to distinguish the two when you look at it.
