I quit smoking cigarettes over 6 months ago with the help of an E-Cig. And honestly, I hardly used the e-cig. Maybe a few times a week for about a month, until I lost it. Pretty much quit cold turkey. Only the first few weeks are really hard. So I'd like to cross that one off, personally. Now I'd like to talk about weed. I'd like to point out that it's proven to not be addictive. 7 years ago, I dated a dealer. Smoked all day every day. We dated on and off for a couple years. When we weren't together, I wouldn't smoke. When we were, I did. Since we've been broken up for good, I've smoked maybe 5 or 6 times. This is in a 5 yr span. Addictive? I think not. Alcohol: to an extent, but wears out quickly with me. I turned 21, went on a binge for a year, yr and a half, then decided it wasn't fun anymore. I just don't understand alcoholism, I guess... Cocaine: I've only snorted it a few times, and honestly, I think I just had terrible shit every time. No rush, just a tiny bit more energy than usual. No comedown.. Meth, my drug of choice: I quit cold turkey 2 yrs ago. No treatment. Just threatened with prison time by the judge, lol. Although I did only use for about 6 months, it was all intravenously. What that person up there said about the needle is 100% correct in my eyes. I did smoke meth before using the needle, but I always felt dirty and didn't care to score more. If it was at a party, fine. If not, I didn't go looking for it. But as soon as I started IV'ing it... well call it luck if you will, but the guy who introduced me to the needle was a cook so I'd always have some. Shooting up is So much cleaner of a method, IMO. I tried to quit a few times, but my ex wouldn't have it. He was abusive and basically forced me to continue using. He shot me up with some prescription opiate once but I think I was just too twacked to feel it. Afterward, it made me puke and feel like crap (I'm assuming these were withdrawals). Other than that, I've abused prescription opiates but only popping the pills orally which lead to much more tolerable withdrawals than shooting up. I have not tried heroin or crack, or shooting coke. But i'm a "try everything at least once" kind of girl. So you never know what the future holds!
