Ever been to jail?

[Mr. Anderson]

I've been on a two week drug binge that cost me about half a grand of my graduation money. It finally culminated last night when I arrested and spent the entire day in lock up. What the fuck am I doing with my life?

[Moxio]

Ahahahaha you've become such a fucking loser.

[Jesus_S_Preston]

You know, this term is thrown around a lot, but I think it applies here:




EPIC fuckING FAILURE.

Realize what an ass you are and move on.
Good luck, though :)

[Bioshocked360]

Never. 8-)

[Liquid 2]

What the fuck am I doing with my life?Clearly, the wrong shit. :-|
Learn your lesson (damn, that sounds corny as fuck), at least?


Is one day all you're getting, or do you have a court date? Suck either way, man.

[Mojimbo]

This is the epitome of lame.

[Poor2More]

can you elaborate pleas OP

[camoor]

Wow are you serious.

If so I suggest rehab.

[Liquid 2]

:applause: Good Stuff

[Mr. Anderson]

Totally serious. I wouldn't go so far as to call myself a loser though, we all make mistakes. I really feel like I've learned my lesson from this, but fuck, shit has just gotten really bad. Sorry for being so brutally honest, guys. :roll: Mox, you've always been a loser, so you have no room to talk. Ha! I've got about four grand in court fees, personal bail, and speeding tickets to pay, so I really do need to get it together. I'm pretty lucky I have such loving family and friends; they are genuinely worried about me and are ready to help, even the friends I've been doing drugs with. Full blown addiction isn't quite the situation atm, so I'm thinking rehab isn't needed, and hopefully it won't be ever. And for all the haters, I've done and seen more things than you could even imagine, so kindly fuck off.

[Renzokuken]

At least now you have some street cred.

I guess you learn and move on, so what happen?

[terribledeli]

How much did you cry while you were locked up?

That's my one regret about not going down the Criminal Justice path. I loved every Friday and Saturday night during my internship with the local sheriff's office. Every kid that was brought in for drugs or drinking would always cry. As if we were going to let them go for a few tears.

We did nothing but laugh and laugh and laugh.

edit: To answer your question. Yes. 34 days. But on the other side of the bars.

[anotherjeff]

Hmm, if you are dead in the water, talk to the Public Defender, get yourself into rehab whether you believe in it or not. Do pro-social activities, community service etc. before you plea or get sentenced and turn your life around. This will show that you are remoreseful and trying to change.

Good luck. If you don't have anything to challenge at trial then just plea. Otherwise you will probably get a harsher sentence.

Get your shit right. If you need me to shoe you in the ass then lemmie know, you know where to find me.

[Sofa King Kool]

No sympathy here.

To answer the question, yes, I was riding in my friends car...fucker got me arrested. He got pulled over and searched. Unbeknownst to me, he had some "substances" in a backpack in the back seat. I spent an hour in a cell. That was it. My charges were dropped because I didn't do jack-shit.

We are still good friends.

That's my one regret about not going down the Criminal Justice path. I loved every Friday and Saturday night during my internship with the local sheriff's office. Every kid that was brought in for drugs or drinking would always cry. As if we were going to let them go for a few tears.

That sounds awesome. It would truly enjoy that experience.

[Kirin Lemon]

Yes, because a two week drug binge is totally within the confines of normal behavior. :roll:

[terribledeli]

Applied behavior analysis. More broadly, Psychology

There was too much to lose waiting around with local departments while my wife finished up her teaching degree.

Around the time I was ready to graduate, a buddy of mine transfered from local police to the local sheriff's department. Despite being trained in the same facility, doing roughly the same thing (but within the city limits), the seven years worth of experience didn't mean much to the sheriff's department so he had to start over with training. When I inquired if this was the usual trend, I was told it was.

So it was either spend three years with the sheriff's department, move away and lose that experience and start over at a new department (which wasn't appealing in my first career at the age of 23). Or choose another career path. I chose the latter.

Honestly? Fuck you.

Thanks for the kind words guys. I'm trying to change my ways, and my parents are all for it. Don't shed a tear, but I really appreciate the love. It makes me feel way better.

To terribledeli: no, didn't cry. I was too barred out. :P I actually had a pretty good time in the cell (slept most of the day), and the bologna was damn tasty.

[Poor2More]

Yes, because a two week drug binge is totally within the confines of normal behavior. :roll:

That's a shame. I always want to think the best of psychologists but I know there are some sadists in the field. Still - you might be doing those "torture the monkey" experiments, I don't know from the internet.

God forbid you are counseling humans. Anyone showing such a lack of empathy shouldn't be given the right.

[zewone]

Fez, don't worry about it.

I went through my drug phase around your age (still in high school, right?).

I did a lot of bad shit, and got myself in to a lot of stupid situations (luckily, I was never caught).

It's not too late to stop. Just relax and enjoy life without illegal substance abuse (I traded my drug addiction into binge drinking 8-) ).

It's not the end of the world, you'll look back on these days and say "Damn, I was a dumbass". :lol:

Nope. I purposely avoid counseling. The field is far too crowded. And is on the verge of dying out.

I set up behavioral interventions for autistic children and hand them off to interns. They hand me back the results of the interventions and I interpret them, make adjustments accordingly and the dance begins again.

Mind if I borrow the line about the "torture the monkey" experiments? I've got some friends in experimental psychology that are always looking for new ways to describe their work.

I suggested that you stop being so vain.

We don't know the severity of your addiction; you do -- hopefully. Give it a real good look, and don't be too proud to not seek help from outside yourself, your friends and your family.

[Dark Slayer120]

No.

[Koggit]

I was actually sympathetic at first -- everyone makes mistakes, and most of us learn from them. We've all done things we regret. Mistakes are great opportunities to grow.

But then I read your "I've seen more than you could even dream" and "Don't talk down to me" bullshit. Listen to yourself. I'm not trying to insult you: seriously listen to yourself. If you don't think you sound immature, maybe you could bookmark this and read your posts again in two weeks, see it with a fresh perspective.

Arrogance and immaturity go hand in hand.

[Bathory]

Don't go back to jail.

[Chase]

Nope, but I was arrested (handcuffs, patty wagon, finger printing, etc.) for "harassment" when I was 14 years old because instead of reporting a fight to a teacher, I stood in the background, and laughed. I was also suspended from school for three days. It isn't on my record, but I still remember it - just because it was so damn absurd.

[JJSP]

I know the first thing I'd do after a night in jail and a two week drug binge is go online and brag about it.

i agree - hey OP, at first i thought "meh, give this a read and give the guy a chance." now it seems as if this isn't so much a plea for help as much as an outlet to brag about your exploits. first you go "waah waah i spent a day in jail, i hit rock bottom," and as soon as you had everyone's attention, your perspective changed to "yeah jail was actually pretty fun. i got a rockin' free meal, mm mm bologna." yeah, i'll bet that shit grade food was REAL tasty. couple this with the fact that you have an Alex DeLarge avatar, and I'd say we have a bona fide douchebag.

this is a fucking internet forum. if you make a posting for help, you should be able to take the constructive criticism. you're a high school twat and slitting your wrists to Linkin' Park makes you a pussy, not a badass who's done and seen more than any of us could ever imagine.

[crazytalkx]

Watch out guys, he's gone from boning in the band room to spending a day in prison.

Shit, gotta make the best out of what life throws at ya. I'm definitely not trying to "brag," I really just didn't have anywhere else to let it out. I certainly do not enjoy being called a loser (don't really care though) when I mentioned the binge, so yeah, I retaliated a bit, especially when terribledeli was being such an insincere asshole. Most importanly, this thread was not a call for help, but I truly do appreciate the advice that some posters have given. I'm certainly no bad-ass, I don't listen to Linkin Park, I didn't hit rock bottom, I don't cut myself, and I graduated last week, so blaked, why don't you take your assumptions and stick 'em where the sun don't shine. Thanks. :D I'm just trying to learn from this, and maybe my head got a little big for a second. Don't get so pissy. :lol:

Two weeks? I'd expect much longer, given this kid's attitude.

Kiddo, if you don't like being called a loser, then stop acting like such a loser. Seems simple enough.

While it would be unfortunate, if that happens, I'm just going to expand Kirin's assessment with adjectives. One adjective each time he gets arrested. Hopefully, he learns his lesson, or I'm going to need to start a Wordpad document to remember it all.

[supraazn]

Elaborate. What, to you, makes a person a loser? Eye of the beholder is what I say.


Well if you really believe that then don't say arrogant things like "I've seen more than you could even dream"
Whether you knew it or not when someone saids that it means that they somehow think that their life is somewhat more exciting, fulfilling, or/and better than the other person's life.
Thats exactly the delusional belief that makes kids these days do dumb shit.
They think that in order to have a good and joyful life that you need to go ape shit crazy with drugs and crime so you don't look like a boring nerd.
Well you can still have fun (party and hang out with good friends, drink a little) and at the same time still contribute to society without harming your body with Drugs and screwing up your record.
I quite enjoy my life and i have never spent a day in jail nor have i spent a dollar on drugs.
Really, take this as a learning experience and stop with the drugs and jail or you'll fine yourself a skinny crack head spending your minimum wage on drugs and going in and out of jail.
You aren't like that yet .... but remember it could happen so don't be arrogant and think that you can continue to be stupid but won't get like that.
So yes don't want to be a loser or called one?
Then shape up, and i guarantee that you will never be called that again.

[niceguyshawne]

Once for about 8 hours on a DWI. Longest 8 hours of my life. Of course, I didn't get a bologna sandwich.

It all depends on what you do with this experience. In my case, the experience was really what I needed to turnmy life around.

Good luck.

[The Mana Knight]

Stuff happens. Many old acquaintances of mine from H.S., got themselves arrested, had to go to court, almost killed their best friend due to driving too fast, and many other stupid most. Most of them now (after 6-8 years) are doing very well with their lives and have changed for the better. When you're still a teen or just became an adult, you'll make stupid decisions which are costly, but there's still plenty of time to make things right.

I kind of tried too hard to avoid it (worst that happened to me was almost getting arrested for something I did not do).

Sucks to see this happen to a very nice CAG member, but you'll be all right and things will turn around. :)

I never went to jail, but had almost everyone close to me go to jail unfortunately.

Too bad I don't live near you Fez, because I'd hang with you and make sure your drug addiction stops. ;)

[QiG]

What kind of drug binge only costs $500 over the course of two weeks?

Listen: You're a not loser for any reason other than you think it's cool to brag about this. When you have learned a lesson from an experience like this you are humbled and don't tell that shit to anyone. You obviously have regular access to a computer, have the common sense to graduate, and have enough people to care about you to load your pockets with graduation money. Any bad decisions you make are purely out of stupidity with the resources you have. Grow the fuck up.

On-topic: No I haven't spend time in jail because even when I was doing dumb shit I was smart enough to not get caught.

[mykevermin]

What kind of drug binge only costs $500 over the course of two weeks?

Lots.

Other than that, I was under the impression that the $500 was a fine/fee.

Either way, it's easy for armchair quarterbacks to say you're an attention whore, premised on the idea that you type this up trying to impress some shitbag in Peoria, Illinois, that you don't know and will never meet with your drug exploits.

I'm trying to wrangle with the general attitude that some drugs should be decriminalized (mostly marijuana) that many young people have these days, coupled with blaming the OP for his arrest. Now, yes, committing a crime and getting arrested for it is not the fault of authorities, but it could very well be possible that he just spent two weeks baked as fuck and got busted with his lil' emptied-out chapstik container of weed in a public place. I think y'all are assuming he was shooting dope in the barrio with the dregs of society, and that could be the case too. But let's not immediately assume that this is the case.

Fez, get help. If you have an addictive personality, don't lack the scruples to ask for rehab or professional help. If you don't, you'll still probably need to drop your friends like a bad habit (that's probably the worst part). You may even have to give up alcohol if it seems that it's the sort of thing that you increase consumption of.

Hell, you may not even have a drug habit at all - a two week bender is considerable, but if that's it, then you may be able to walk away just fine.

I don't know which you are. But get help - drugs are fun and awesome and all that at the moment you're on them, but at the same time, they very typically lead to severe problems later in life. I don't mean flashbacks or paranoia, but I do mean lethargy and missed opportunities. I'm not about to flash my resume here, as the teetotalers might think I'm trying to impress them - but I've not touched a thing in almost a decade, and while there are things about drugs to miss, seeing your friends cling to their old habits into their thirties is a frightening process indeed.

[GuilewasNK]

OP, the mere fact that you said you don't think you need rehab after your ordeal means you do.

OP, the mere fact that you said you don't think you need rehab after your ordeal means you do.

Thanks.

Just fyi, the court costs, fees (including the two speeding tickets I accumulated during the past weeks), and NOT including the lawyer fees is looking something like five grand at this point. I just woke up from the worst nightmare of my life (literally) to my family screaming at me to get out of bed and telling me I'm fucked up on something and that I need to pack my shit right now.
