His Own Drug Years: Percocet Mornings, Purism, and Friends Who Died
from #168 - The Funniest Guy I Ever Met | The Tim Dillon Show · #168
6 min
Tim reflects seriously on the opioid epidemic and the Sackler family, then describes his own peak drug use around 2006-2007, his habit of never mixing drugs, and the deaths of friends from overdoses, urging listeners struggling with addiction to seek real help.
- Tim took Percocet in the mornings with eggs, bacon, coffee, and cigarettes on the way to work.
- A kid from his school overdosed; Tim attended the funeral and notes drug counselors go to multiple funerals per month.
- Tim's heaviest drug use was 2006-2007 when he was completely dependent and organized tasks around getting high.
- He attributes survival to being a drug purist—never mixing different substances, drinking when on pills or cocaine separately.
- SoundCloud rappers die because they mix drugs like lean; today's kids are on literal pharmaceuticals from major companies.
- Tim pitched shows based on his mortgage stories but no network has picked them up for their to-do list.
- Creative jobs require delusion and faith in the idea before facts matter, but too much delusion leaves you at 38 tweeting at Bernie Sanders about Russian agents.
