He seemed drunk in that clip too.
Personally I’m 50/50 on whether Nick is still using. His sperging on Twitter and drunk spelling certainly implies it.
It doesn't have to be alcohol. An addict with a love for loopholes like Rekieta would see an order like "take no medication except prescribed" as a challenge to get prescribed what he wants, or something that wouldn't appear on a drug test.
One possibility that wouldn't surprise me at all: Kayla also confirmed using kratom as early as 2019, which is a drug which may or may not appear on a drug testing panel. In late 2022, Nick admitted that he "tried Kratom a couple times and I was like, "I hate it'", but he said similar things about coke a couple weeks/months before that. I'll clip that later maybe.
A less likely possibility would be that he pulled a Ralphamale and managed to talk himself into a prescription for a depressant drug after he started getting tested for alcohol. According to Aaron, Kayla has a benzo prescription for anxiety. Would Nick look at that and say "Hey, I could claim anxiety too?"
As for the upper side of drugs, Rekieta is already prescribed Provigil, and he's already said on his show that he views the effects of Provigil to him as similar to coke.
That said, it might remain a mystery unless Sean or Leeeee-gull Mindset take one for the team and do a stream with Nick in order to shake a pill bottle to figure out if it causes a Rage Twig outburst.
(excluding alcohol but including Provigil which was prescribed, there were about 6 drugs he mentioned using in the past 2 years or were found in his home)
I wasn't aware until writing this post that Nick had admitted using kratom himself, and therefore didn't include kratom in the 6.
It's up to at least 7.
The important thing to remember is Nick has NOT been diagnosed with substance abuse disorder.
Nick copesplaining rehab and how he was the only non-addict there and they totally told him he doesn't have substance abuse issues and he's totally fine and not like those meth addicts blahblahblah was so embarrassing. He really made it obvious he is still a junkie who thinks he is deceiving everyone around him.
Being a person who was NOT diagnosed with a substance abuse disorder to NOT rehab and being forced to interact with people he views as below him caused a narc injury. It's very obvious. He spent most of the stream coping about it.
