Did you ever do drugs?

[Mila]

I've done pretty much all of them. Never liked the downers (H, pinks, pethadine, mandrax etc) but did quite like old school barbiuturates - don't get many of those anymore..

My weakness though is crystal meth. Tried to clean up in a rehab about 7 months ago which worked for a while but I relapsed again in December. I'm now 60+ days and going strong (or so I hope). Lets hope this last (3rd) time in rehab is the last time. Cleaning up is friggen hard work but considering how many times my drugging has landed me in some screwed up places I guess it's worth it.

Stand STrong! You can do it!!!

One day at time, keep going.


Nobody seems to have mentioned one of the worse, Rocks.
Stay away, those little things will really fcu* you up more ways than you can imagine.
Mood swings, agression and constant craving.
As my one buddy puts it "sucking on the devils co**"

If it wasnt for weed, would never have returned, started smoking it in joints and slowly weened myself off, but as stated earlier, sometimes out the blue that craving resurfaces, and thankfully I no longer move in those circles or live in an area where I know anybody well enough to score anything.

The 70's and 80's were good for many things, but most importantly the quality was always very good, dont trust the chemical cuts of todays substances.
The used to be cough medicine called Pericaon, liquid and tab form that was available over counter, Halucigen of note , 2 bottles of the liquid or 60 tabs over a 2 hour period and everything was green, green spiders, green ducks, green goblins, the world became greener

If you dont have a strong mind and strong willpower stay away from substances.

I took a lot when I was younger. Mainly I used to like the dance drugs - first speed then x. Those ones have a limited lifespan in that diminishing returns set in after a while. But I was a very good dancer, so that was my thing. Other things I dabbled in, of course a lot of weed and a bit of everything except the hard ones. I stopped around or a little while before the time I got saved, and if I look back on that period of my life it seems very dark. There were good moments, like dancing for six hours solid, but it all feels dirty somehow. I do regret it a lot, I think I wasted a lot of time when I could have been making something useful of myself.

Smoked weed a couple of times.

 

[TMoose]

its bad but fun, u only live once... why not enjoy everything while you can...

I know when i die, i want to have tried everything so that I can say i havent missed out...

Yeah, you only live once. I intend on living a long and healthy life. I also haven't sniffed Doom or licked a toilet seat, doesn't mean I'm missing out on anything. Being dependent and intoxicated is the saddest excuse for a "life" I've ever heard of.

Being dependant on chemicals is sad, being intoxicated isnt. Theres more to life than just the 'black and white' you see through your own eyes, and some people find interest in different realities and perspectives that come about from substance usage. It should definitely not be a permanent thing of course, but why prevent yourself from experimentation.

You are only limiting yourself in the end. Sometimes seeing the world from different viewpoints can be enlightening and eye opening. Its helped me make certain choices in my life that ill never regret.

And one can live a long and healthy lifestyle and still experiment, theres absolutly no proof that you wont, so that argument is purely opinion based.

Im not saying you need drugs to experience life, just dont flame people who do by dropping comments like living a long and healthy lifestyle and being intoxicated is sad etc... If you havent taken drugs before, then so be it, other people do and enjoy it, just another part of life and reality that people want to experience, something others will never.

I find generally anti drug people are to people who take drugs as christians are to atheists... 'im better than you and ill have a good life, you wont'. Just silly... each to their own.. if you arent interested in trying so be it, dont preach to people who want to try.

 

[Dolby]

But surely there are instances that you do regret ?

I only became anti drug recently due to my girlfriend at the time ; and became anti NA groups shortly afterwords. I find it difficult to see which is worse tbh :/

well honestly id have to say i may have made a few bad choices when i decided to experiement with speed, but i dont regret it. Going through that and overcoming my craving for the stuff, putting on all the weight i had lost, and just feeling healthier with a stronger sense of willpower over substances in general. I think it was bad but at the same time a positive experience in my life... I dont look back and think that I should never have done it. I look back thinking ive been there, done that, got the t-shirt At least i can educate my kids correctly when they are old enough, something i never got from my own parents.

 

[Dolby]

I don't really think you can 'blame' (I hope that's the right word?) your parents for not educationg me?

My parents never educated me on drugs or sex or any other evils, and I won't even look at a drug, never touched a cigarette and don't experiment sexually (cept with a select one

yeah spose it goes both ways, but it can only help to be prepared. One thing my parents could never do was tell what i was going through, or what I was doing. I can tell, and will be able to tell in the future. Ill be more equiped to deal with any possibly problems.
Obviously dont wanna sit ur kids down and bring up the subject, that would probably make them want to try. But if they do try, Ill know, education is key...
I dont think i could prevent my kids from experimenting if they want, it would be hyprocritical to say the least, but I can teach them the correct way to go about things, to be safe and to take care of themselves. Alot of people these days dont know the dangers and limitations and end up in hospital because they forget to drink, and eat and chill out etc...
Drug councillors dont teach you how to deal, they try teach you not to take, which is just an encouraging factor to most people, was to me. All the talks we had at school, by the time they were done, i was ready to experiment, thanks guys

Why would Surv0's parents educate you?

Anyway, I was educated by my parents about both drugs and sex - My mom has always been open and approachable. I still landed in rehab at 14 and had a baby at 17. With some people all the education in the world wont stop us from going off the rails. I think 'nature' has a big part to play in how far you're prepared to push the boundaries...

Yea - agreed there.

I guess I'm just a kind hearted, gentle, loving, caring soul at my core ... not an ounce of bad.

who u calling bad?

we are all good, kind hearted, loving caring people.... who like to get high thats all

 

[Dolby]

I don't think those traits and drug addict go together - especially when high

 

[Surv0]

ok yes, theres a difference between drug addict and recreational drug user.
Drug addicts carry the connotation of dirty people who will steal, rob and damage what ever they can to get high.
Most of us arent like that, and even some drug addicts would never steal or hurt a fly. Its morals and upbringing that make a person do what they do. And you find the people who commit crime to help their addictions never had a good upbringing, good family life or good morals..
Drugs dont make you do anything, you make yourself do things for drugs...

 

[superB]

Agreed. I have yet to meet an addict who is kind & loving while using. Maybe when they're clean they are but definitely not while using. A high addict is selfish, dishonest and will usually stop at nothing to stay high. Theft, lies, deceit, emotional and mental abuse of those around you (with maliciousness, manipulation and betrayal) and a complete lack of regard for the feelings of others are what a using addicts life is all about. If we stayed nice people who just wanted to get high then there wouldnt be any reason to clean up.

Now that's the type of drug addict I thought this thread reffered to mostly. That's the drug addict I know of. I guess we should have had clarrification and definitions earlier.
