Hey Steemians! I'm Luke, doing my first post on steemit. I heard about steemit through a friend @deathbypenguin.
I've taken a look around steemit already and the concept of it seems really cool - I love to draw, so I hope this can be a place for me to share my art and hopefully gain a following
I'm in my early twenties and living in the South East of England. I work full-time at a warehouse. It's not my ideal job, but it pays the bills and I get a good workout.
Here's a couple of pictures of the town I live in...
Rochester, United Kindom
Rochester Castle
As beautiful as Rochester is I'm not originally from here, I've spent the past 8 years moving around the South East. I started off in a lovely seaside town known by the name of Herne Bay, home to whats believed to be one of the earliest purpose-built , free standing clock towers. As i neared towards the end of Secondary School my family decided to make the move up to London, Notting Hill and enrolled in school there.
At 16 I began the slippery slope of drug use and abuse. I started off drinking and began to meet the precarious individuals that London had to offer. I initially just tried cannabis as it was the most casual that everyone was doing but the more and more involved I got the harder the drugs I took were. Trying MDMA led me onto wanting to try everything else, to push my limits, I craved the feeling of my brain being fried. In spite of all this, my family decided to move back to Kent due to the people I associated myself with.
So I moved to Rochester, enrolled in and attended college where I met James. It's when I decided to go back to London that down the road from mine I saw James outside of his friends smoking and that's when I was introduced to Phillip. I barely knew anyone but Phillip knew everyone, when we got talking the topic of drugs was brought up and shortly after, it started again.
Here's a list of all of the drugs I've done
- MDMA
- Coke
- M-Kat
- 25-i
- LSD
- Shrooms
- Spice
- Ketamine
- Cannabis
- Xanax
- Speed
- Morphine (Yes acutal recreational use)
- Codeine
- Oxycontin
- Valium
- NOS
I know, that's a lot. One day I woke up and realised I needed to get a grips with reality again, I got fed up of relying on my family for everything so I signed up to Jobcentre and got on the job searching. I went through a couple jobs such as retail and telesales before I got into warehouse work. I've now been consistently employed for over a year, I've gone from living with my family, earning minimum wage to working on decent money and having even moved out of my Mother's house.
I'm doing well now, moving forward and focusing on the the long-term. Steemit seems like an awesome community, and I look forward to contributing
Thanks for reading!

Thanks for the support its greatly appreciated! Well once you hit a low everything from there is up, I'm just taking it step by step.
Well you certainly get my vote. Get those pictures up and running the Steemit world can not wait to see them.

hi luke , welcome on steemit , you have got my follow :)
Thanks a lot! I appreciate it dude :)
Welcome to the community. - You've got quite a list there. Which one was your most memorable high? And where did it take you?
No worries you don't need to answer it is not really any of my business BUT if you would like to share, I can imagine people would love to hear how it is and what the differences are. We get to read a lot about how people kicked addiction but nobody shares much about how it was while on it. Like a guide of the most pleasurable highs haha
Anyhow cheers mate :-)
Well I have a lot of different experiences and its hard to choose one from such a wide range, but for I'd say the most memorable high was when I mixed MDMA and Ketamine, I don't know if you've heard of k-holing but when the high got intense I heard this incredibly loud sound which I named "The call of the k-hole" and I actually had a whole outer body or outer reality experience.
If there are enough who are interested I'll be sure to take the time to post some of my experiences!
Thank you for sharing this! - I am sure that there would be enough people who would want to hear more about out of body experiences. :-)
I have never heard of k-holing, but then again, that is why I asked in the first place. To learn more and to understand.
"the call of the k-hole" - that actually sound kind of scary. I would have been afraid that I might have burst and drum or something :-)
Welcome to Steemit, my friend! Looking forward to more of your photography! And, it’s a great platform to share your experiences with drugs too - I’ve found some informative articles and interesting folks who write on the topic as well.
I've never felt so welcomed in a community! I'll be sure to post some work up as soon as, and I'm happy to share the experiences as well as I have had quite a few weird and wild experiences
Wow!
You have done a lot of drugs
What does all that mix up to become inside of you....Lol
Just kidding bro!
Ya welcome
Feel free
Luke, brother... Congratulations on an amazing life turnaround. That is very impressive and you should feel really good about how far you have come.
Honestly, that is almost a hilariously long list of drugs you have done lol.
I really look forward to seeing some of your drawings man!
Thank's man! Honestly its been difficult, but here i am now! In full time employment, head clear, earning, and have moved out. Things can only go up!
Believe me I know, once you try one you're like "oh boy I wonder what everything else feels like" lmao.
I'll be sure to post some in the following days, thanks for the support!
Welcome to Steem!
Thanks, i look forward to the future!
Welcome to steemit bro @deathbypenguin.

hello hello it's a pleasure to welcome you to the steemit community. It's never too late to start new financial alternatives. I wish you the best. Do not forget to follow me and I invite you to read my post. Also give me up vote to help other people
welcome to steemit, luke! that's an amazing story you shared. don't mind me asking but do you know the gospel of Jesus Christ? I was lost myself and now I'm founded on solid ground. I'm always open to sharing the hope that I have if you want to inquire.
Welcome to steemit hope it's the beginning of a long journey! I'm here for whatever you need, do not hesitate to ask…
I can relate to your story a lot. I to have dabbled in drug use over the years and have decided continuously not to go down that road anymore. Time to live with purpose and a clear mind. I am an artist was well. I've posted some of my works but I am into nearly every form of art there is. look forward to seeing some of your work on here.
It's a slippery slope because after that first time that's all you're looking for and you can never quite get that same euphoria. It was fun but its not a lifestyle. Well i'll be looking forward to seeing some of your work, i hope you enjoy mine that's yet to come!
Glad you are here. I found a drug that is not on your list. It a drug called Jesus. I stopped using all others after Jesus came into my life.
Wow wonderful, i just gave you an upvote, welcome to steemit friend
wellcome to the steemit community I follow you and upvote you hope you will do
welcome to steemit. beware of all the responses from robot accounts as you can see in these comments, lol.
good to hear you got away from the garbage, welcome to reality, lol.
remember, drugs are just an escape from reality until you die, THEN comes the ultimate reality!
I haven't drawn or painted anything in years, but I did a ton of it when I was in the joint, maybe some day I will post some when I get a chance.
good luck, have fun.
Welcome Luke, hope for you luck and a successful life
