thoughts on help from stimulants

Genuine quote from friend while discussing our intake of substances “Don’t be stupid, ur sober ass is never going to be able to compete with an elite Alchoholic, stimulant addict, who puts 20mg nic pouches in his ripped up gums while throwing down 50mg of adderall and Xanax at 3:30am while you can’t even stay up on coffee” Is this absurd or does he have the right mindset?

Stimulants are like a credit card… borrowing from your body now and you will pay the price later.


I was the most stimmed up analyst and was top bucket, on the most deals. I paid for it with my health. Not worth it.
