Addictions/Withdrawl?

[Zerkerfist]

I am the same way when I smoke weed Herman. Therefore I do not toke anymore! However, I know lots of people who smoke weed all day and you would never know... they look totally normal when they are high, and they go to school, jobs, do chores around the house etc. while they are blitzed and it makes no difference. I wish I was one of those kinds of people

I just realized that smoking weed makes me extremely unmotivated :/ and I basically DO NOT talk when I'm high...............Gonna stop smoking for a while :/

P.S. The Happy Hour legal bud sucked. Never try it.

Just smoke bud man, its cheap, and won't fuck you up.


I don't fuck around with pills, I've heard too many horror stories.

Alot of people get hooked on pills, especially prescription painkillers, without meaning to even abuse the drug in the first place. Overtime they become dependant on the pills to manage pain and without the pills, their life is disrupted because they cannot function. Pills are a big no no!

I've taken E, which is almost the same thing except pill form (which is mixed with other shit unfortunately. Possibly just caffeine, could range to meth though). It's fun as fuck. I've only done it once. Save it for a special occasion.

I have been taking pills for years, just come across some rock/molly. Actually on a tolerance break as we speak but just looking for someone who has had experience with molly before

some people get addicted to drugs/alcohol etc, some do not get affected at all, for example i've done many drugs etc and never got addicted etc.

Yeah addiction is very mysterious that way. I think alot of it really comes down to your own personal choice and willpower. But I do support the argument that that addiction can be hereditary, or wired into your genetic code, as it seems that some people have more addictive personalities than other people, such as myself. I think those kinds of people are more likely to make the wrong choices when they come in contact with any kind of addictive substance or behaviour, and generally have poor skills in managing their emotions and feelings and the level of stress in their lives. I have always had an addictive personality, and I have recognized a trait in myself where I always seek out things that are highly pleasurable, and engage in such activities repeatedly. For me, drugs were just a disaster waiting to happen. When I found them I dove into them headfirst and they became the number 1 priority in my life, and the answer to all my problems, whereas all my friends were able to use on a recreational level and had no desire to cross into that zone where the drugs started to cause major wreckage in their lives. My parents never informed me until I had already developed a major substance abuse problem that there were addicts all throughout both sides of our family. Even my grandpa who was living with us in my parents home had to move in because he was a complete alcoholic and couldn't take care of himself (although he had to quit drinking to come live with my family). I was just too young at the time to understand, and I don't think my parents quite knew how to approach the issue with me and my brothers. But whether my genetic code plays a part in my addiction or not, know that I am fully responsible for where my life ended up because I made a series of conscious decisions to continue abusing drugs, and therefore my life is a direct result of the bad choices that I chose to make.

The street names for alot of drugs are very different where I come from, so I am curious to know what you mean by "Molly" and "MDMA rock?". Around here, rock generally means crack-cocaine. Any MDMA around this area usually comes in powdered form if you want the pure stuff, as the Ecstasy around here usually contains more speed than MDMA, if there is even any at all. There is alot of methamphetamine around this area and its very cheap to cut with ecstasy, compared to what the cost would be to fill up pills of pure MDMA.

Well from where i am from it pretty much means Molly =/ Mdma rock =/ chrystal mdma. It changes from place to place it gets confusing! Well everything is about who you know, can get quality things if you know the right people but saying that, speed is pretty popular because of the price and the availability to most people but don't really touch the stuff. I'm actually on a one year tolerance break from mdma which i am pleased how well i am doing

I take cocaine on a weekend basis, smoke weed on a week-daily basis and also drink during weekdays and weekends. I've had previous drugs that I must say I did have some addiction to, but I don't think i'm addicted to any of these..

Then again it has become part of my lifestyle.=|

If you are a regular user of drugs then of course they have become a big part of your lifestyle. An addiction is when the drugs/alcohol have a very negative effect on your life and begin to cause alot of wreckage to your life and relationships, and yet you repeatedly abuse them despite the extremely negative consequences, aswell as focusing all your time/energy to finding, buying, and using drugs. A physical addiction to drugs is a while different ballgame and is the next level of addiction. It means that you are physically wired to the drug and cannot function/get very sick without the drug moving through your system and pumping through your veins. A good example is something like smoking ciggarrettes... once your body is addicted to said substance, it can be extremely hard to quit and get the shit out of your system, especially when there is a very negative withdrawal involved.

A drug dependancy is a bit different, but alot of people are drug dependant without even realizing it. In my opinion, a drug dependancy is when drugs have become a regular, and very large part of your life/lifestyle, and you find it difficult to do normaly things without using drugs and alcohol. For example, if you drink alcohol every single weekend while your partying and attending social events, a person might find that they are completely unable to attend social events without having a few drinks first, and find that without the alcohol they are unable to have fun, enjoy themselves, or socialize normally. I would consider that kind of person to have developed a drug dependancy. Drug dependancies can be quite common if you let drugs and/or alcohol to become a huge part of your life, and you spend alot of time/resources and money on them. I know alot of kids that when they are not partying and using drugs/drinking, they really have no idea what to do with themselves.

Smoking, painkillers and pot.
There also in the order I found hardest.
People saying pots easy have either been threw a much harder drug or never quit smoking pot.
You may not get dts like drinking or cramps and body pains like stop taking heroin but it can be hard. Just completely changing your life is hard, let alone taking something out that yours been using for years.

Not sayins it's the hardest by any means but to say it's easy isn't right. A week after you stop tho you totally stop thinking of it

You don't man, it's taken me about 7 years to work this out but life's better sober. Not saying you should stop taking all drugs forever but using any drug everyday turns it into a chore even if it doesn't look like it.
Ask anyone hooked on anything and i they wish they were like there other mates who don't need anything to get them threw the day.

Don't abuse drugs, save them for the right times and make the most of it.
Just remember what ever goes up must come down.

This is me all over. Although it doesn't have a negative affect, I have a well paid job, a lovely girlfriend and the will power to say no to these drugs. But I do find before I go out I am drinking (merely because its cheaper also, but because I want that buzz). Although I dont link with the last bit, when I have nothing to do I come here, RS & WOW!

Got addicted to nicotine in 8th grade but when I quit a few months back I don't really know what I actually felt. It was just weird cause when I was feeling stressed I couldn't go out and smoke and relax I just had to keep it in.

Sitting low, go back a few pages in this thread and read my posts since I became active in here. I am a heroin addict myself, and I know first hand what addiction is like and the extremely negative consequences that it can have on a persons life. I have lost almost everything you could imagine to heroin in the last 2 years, and am still struggling to get off of it daily. I am now also hooked on pharmaceutical methadone, which I take every single day in front of a Pharmacist in order to help keep me off of heroin and from getting sick.

My comment about the marijuana is that I simply wish I could be one of those people who can casually smoke pot whenever they want, and suffer no consequences to their lives whatsoever. I know alot of people like that, and I envy them, as I have never been able to use drugs & alcohol "recreationaly". Addiction is hardwired into my genes, and no matter what drug I am using, I always take things way too far and get myself into heaps of trouble. When you are an addict, to ANYTHING, its not necessarily the drug of choice that is the problem, it is the underlying behaviours and tendancies that cause that drug of choice to cause absolute wreckage in your life. This goes for all drugs, whether it is pot or heroin, and for any other sort of addictive things... video games, sex, gambling etc. All addicts have the same behavioural tendancies, and this is why I cannot handle ANY substance without starting to act like an addict. I may stop using heroin, but then I find myself in a month with a serious alcohol problem for example. Sobriety seems to be the only choice left for me.

So I can respect your problem with weed, because I know one of the hardest things about quitting any drug that you are used to using, is having to change your lifestyle completely. I am 20 years old and have been using hard drugs/alcohol since I was 12 years old. That is almost half of my life using drugs/alcohol. The concept of living without them at all is terrifying for me, as they have been such a regular part of my life for so long.

I know where you coming from mate, I won't go on and tell you stuff I'm sure your heard a 100 times. Only thing i can add is that terrifying thought of having no drug in your life will go, I use to be like that for years until like last year or so. If you ever need someone to talk to pm me mate

I appreciate that man I'm sure it will go away eventually if I can settle in to a regular lifestyle. That is my biggest challenge at the moment... being back in school, with regular kids, trying to fit in as if my secret hobby wasn't sticking needles in my arm. The pressure and the stress gets to me sometimes but I am trying to get used to it. The busier I keep myself, the less I think about using drugs.

I know its a big challenge for alot of people too but I guess one day you have to grow up and leave your old lifestyle behind. I know plenty of adults that are completely responsible now and have great jobs, families etc. and yet they had a crazy past growing up with drugs & alcohol. But along the line somewhere their priorities changed and they started to focus on a life without them. Thats where I hope to be one day!

I just read your story and your been threw alot. Good to get it off your chest? For everything your been threw it's make you so much of a tuffer person and I'm sure alo more mature.

untill you hit rock bottom You wont realise what your doing and then start to turn things around. (not saying you havnt just for other)
Just keep reminding yourself that everytime your realise what your doing/ almost talk to yourself and start workin shit out your a step closer
And every step makes it so much easier.

When I fitrst commented I thought you were just getting into it. I've been told by a few friends and bother friends I'm a old man haha when ever I see them starting to smoke or any drug I always like to point out beig hooked to it is shit haha I'm all for drugs if used rightly and you can control it.
Most people dont realise there partly addicted, for over 5 years I couldn't go out partying without a bag full of E and speed lol and a he'll alot of drinking.
Thankfully most of that is behind me, I feel no need to take anythig unless I want to. I still have pain killer sleeping tables acid and a few bickies at home but never touch unless the time is right( very rare)


Also I think drinking is so much worse then people think, I'd almost put it up with the hard drugs(I've had alot of family die, all the fights and broke up family's. I'm so glad my old man doesn't drink) pots is as bad as caffeine lol
