In this short podcast monologue, the speaker recounts how his drug use dramatically escalated beginning in 2020. He describes using the summer months—when school was out—as a period of unchecked consumption, attempting to curb it by teaching summer school to limit free time. Over successive summers his usage intensified: from occasional weekend use to daily use, and from snorting to smoking and finally intravenous injection. He identifies GHB as his primary drug of choice and methamphetamine as a supplement, ultimately stating that the substances became essential for basic functioning. The narrative highlights a pattern of seasonal bingeing, self‑imposed structural controls that failed, and a progression toward dangerous administration routes and psychological dependence.

And so what I did was the school and the education teaching helped me, helped my using and helped to limit it. And that's how I, you know, tried to limit my usage. But when I had off in the summers, it went through the roof. So I started teaching summer school. So that would block me out for another month of the summer. So that way I would only have 6 weeks of what at the time I thought was the best time of my life. But by the time summer number 4 hit, I think it was like the 4th summer, I was creating new things every summer of crazier things I could do and different ways I could use. And it got started getting more dangerous. And, you know, I went from the typical just weekends to, you know, every weekday to You know, snorting originally to smoking to eventually being an IV user by the end. And for me, GHB was my original drug of choice and meth was my supplement. And between the two of them, it just became into the fact of I needed it to just function.
