OK, so, i found a bunch of pics of me when i was still using. Some of them are pretty bad,,, so, im gonna post some and then post some of me clean to show the comparison.. My physical appearance alone has changed dramaticaly.
Heres the ones of me still using behind a cut
Heres one taken on christmas eve, 4 months before i got clean. I was at my parents house on christmas eve. We opened our presents on christmas eve and my whole family was there including the in laws. I brought my own goodies to the event... a gram of ice. I would dip into the bathroom every half our or so to do another line... look at those pupils! I was wired as shit.
Heres another one from the same night. Now, does that face just engulf the christmas spirit or what!
I think this one is from the same night as well, just before i changed into my hurricanes sweatshirt... this one isnt all that, oh well
Here's a classic, me snorthing glass
Ok, these next couple are from my dad's suprise party. God i look excited :) check out my self grooming skills,, my hair was all frizzy and hadnt shaved in quite a while. I think i was just extremely hung over and doped out from xanax in this one. I was probably in hibernate mode,, those few days i would sleep after staying up on meth for days. Dont i look happy? :)
Is this not the fakest smile or what?
Ok, these next two are the grand finale,, the real winners. I think this is the most strung out look i have on film... This is me at work one night, tweaked out of my mind. I remember this day like it was yesterday. I hadnt slept in 5 days or so,,, or was it 6? anyways, i was totally fucking hating it. And what better to make my day while strung out and paranoid as hell? A suprise visit from my parents to take my picture while im cooking pizzas, struggling to keep it together.. woo hoo! fun fun fun. Now, i mentioned i had a fake smile in the last pics,,, now this is a FAKE ass smile,, as fake as it gets. Wow, i had really lost alot of weight by the time this picture was taken,, notice the meth sore on my cheek and the lack of a shave. I recall thinking to myself while my mom was snapping this kodak moment "oh come on bitch, take the fucking pic and get outta here before i crack and end up killing somebody. Please, oh please leave me alone!"
another one from the same day, it looks like a semi-authentic smile actually, but it still illustrates how much weight i had lost,, my face was so thin.
Ok,, this collection of pics wouldnt be complete if i didnt include this next one which i have posted before.. This is me just after walking through the doors of rehab. I still had my bookbag on with all my clothes and stuff i was bringing in with me. I had done a bag of heroin about 10 minutes before this pic was taken, and i had been up for 3 or 4 days smoking/shooting meth and smoking crack.
OK,,, NOW THAT YOUVE SEEN ME HIGH,,, HERES THE NEW ME! MUCH GOOFIER AND LIGHT HEARTED. NOT TO MENTION GROOMED.
LOOK, IM SHOWERING
Much better... the end
