What kind of drug user are you?

I lied in that in the last six months or so I've drunk four bottles of Duval (strong Belgian beer) but I've learnt that ONE is the most I can drink or my body skips the nice bit and instead treats me to a full twenty four hour hangover. For that, paracetamol only and I'm careful with my paracetamol use as it's quite an unforgiving toxin.

Drunk 3 bottles of La Trappe quadruple the other day and had fcking diahrea who would have thought. I usually just drink one
 
I've gone through various phases of addiction throughout my life. Now, at in my mid 40's I use various substances to at times cope with life's circumstances and use at other times to enhance my day. DOC has always been opiates so I stay on Suboxone because I know what will happen if I let loose with opiates like H or oxy. I regularly use stimulants in the am to get going and get through the day and also use benzos and/or smoke weed to wind down at night. I have a really good career, good friends and a good relationship with my family. They know I use they just sort of accept it.
 
Hopefully a good one.
I rarely abuse anymore but will if pushed. ;)
Not sure I will ever not be a user but don't feel controlled by substances any longer. Rarely do drugs "call" to me now that I think about it.
Id settle for a "decent" user tbph.
👍
 
Rarely drink ,use THC ,opioids but am addicted to sleep meds,so Im not the abuser I once was but yes concerned about the Ambien ( if I get cut off) oh Im in denial about my xanax forming addiction
 
Been all types in my over 25 year career, spanning the initial eager, altruistic neophyte to the sheisty, hardened, homeless addict. Went to prison a few times along the way, all small bids, then did 7 years for engaging in too much science... got out 2.5 years ago and after a (very) rocky reintegration I'm mostly ironed out. Tapering methadone, smoke weed daily, very sporadic psychedelic use when I can find them, which is like never these days lol... I was drinking some lately but that became a bit of a hindrance in my life so that's on indefinite break.

I did smoke a little crack a couple weeks ago for the first time in years. Wasn't even the biggest disappointment of the night so I'll call it a win lol.
 
Alcohol is the only thing I'm quite comfortable with socially.
I'm comfortable with weed around a small handful of people,. but generally speaking I don't like being high in public.
I've only ever tripped with 3 other people: 2 of my exes some years apart from each other, and my best friend who I used to buy my lucy from.

I've not tripped in years.
The benefit of it just dried up to me, and I never saw acid as a party drug.
MOST of my trips were solo trips.
I've trip sat for a few people since then.
But haven't tripped myself since then.
 
Shoot lemme evaluate haha

I am an enhancement user definitely but at this point there is a certain baseline buzz that just is. Without that (and before I ever took drugs) I was very on edge, snappy, confrontational.

A-type personality with a little bit of attitude and edge to it (Which is a dangerous way to live) so the pot and benzos keep me from stressin the hell out and doing something that is probably 'just' but certainly not 'legal' or 'smart

Enhancement / take the edge off and make the world a little less sharp and dark - safer for everyone. A brain in overdrive isn't always great. (Not saying I have like any particular brainpower other than running in loops of frustration and over analysis)

I'm at a point in life I can never get "Wasted" or take a ten strip of LSD -- as there will inevitably be something that needs doing within the next 12 hrs whether I am aware or not. "Never fckd up to the point that I can't beat or outthink ya ass" (Unless you know I can't anyways)

I'm 30 which isn't too old but I can say for certain that basically any kind of drug use will have a very nasty after effect for me that lasts way longer than any positive effects from the high. This is very obvious now. I was a heavy psychedelics user from 18-26 and despite what people say about psychedelics being less harmful than other classes of drugs I beg to differ. Really unearthed me in a bad way. After I got out of that phase I had a few brief stints with pills, luckily never got physically addicted but used enough that psychological withdrawal set in upon cessation. I just gave up nicotine one month ago and my brain seems to have not quite recovered from that.

I even notice crashes from caffeine more now, I think my brain has really had enough of psychoactives in general. I made this post seven years ago, haha

I'm 30 and used to trip a lot in my early and some of my mid twenties. Now any kind of trip is asking for horrible anxiety. My brain is really quite sick of it.
 
Im on the prescribed meds side of things now. Opiate free but still green to my own mental landscape and the things which will trigger me. Really want to avoid opiates. I just don’t think they let me be my best self. I’d like to be a good part of the world. I’d like to contribute. Opiates just kind of dull me and I’d like to get away from that. Today’s 28 days and I feel pretty sad. I’ve got fifty bucks for the week and some stuff I need to do over my weekend. I want to buy food but I probably can’t realistically afford it right now. Anyways. Yeah I just take my psych meds. Smoke a little bit of weed sometimes but with CBD. I want to stop that as well. But I might wait until I feel better. My mental state is sensitive right now.
 
I used to party alot with mostly alcohol and coke but i gave up coke and i drink at home these days. I like opiates, benzos, zopiclone and psychs but i take those home to. Ive seen to many idioys arund here have bad reactions to drugs to really wanna go out and party much these days

I'm 37. Acid is actually what saved my life. When I was in my teens and early 20s I was very self-destructive and somewhat suicidal. But an epiphany I had on an acid trip is actually what wrenched me out of being stuck like that where I'd been that way pretty much my whole life up until then. Had I not had that trip, I probably wouldn't be here today.

The last time I tripped was, almost exactly 4 or 5 years ago because it was on Halloween night.
I came home from work, cleaned up, dropped out and watched a DVD. By the end of that DVD, I'd realized and had the epiphany then that there were no further beneficiary effects, and that I didn't need to keep using it.

Almost all of my drug use is medicinal for my mental health in some way or another. It helps balance me out. But simultaneously, I also grew up impoverished in an old house that's now slowly dilapidating. So moments, sometimes years at time, are required for me to maintain sobriety for job-related reasons. --I drink more often during those times, but as I'm getting older I don't enjoy drinking the way I did when I was younger. Cannabis is pretty much what I've narrowed it down to these days, and only under very specific circumstances where I don't have to work, or when I'm working a job that they don't drug test at. Right now I'm taking a vacation. I never really have before. But I'll be able to pass a test by the time I go back to work. I'm using the vacation time to assess my mental and physical health. I'm rebuilding a routine for myself for diet, exercise and sleep. I smoke twice a day, once after my morning workout and breakfast, and once in the last hour of the daylight near the end of the day. After workout smoke sesh just helps me feel good during the rest of the day, while I'm awake. And afternoon before sundown is before bedtime which helps me sleep. I have a very long battle with chronic insomnia, and cannabis helps with that in a very organic way that just feels better than sleeping pills.

I should have made it clearer - I only drank those four bottles of Duval one per day and not on consecutive days. I admit, there was a new (to me) cherry version making a total of four versions and I got one of those buy three, get one free deals. But the others just sat in my fridge. One OK, two - hangover for a good 24 hours.

I don't know - which ever one is a beer.

There might be a Duval beer as Belgium has hundreds (we like to visit Bier Central Antwerpen)
But Duvel is much more common and also drunk in The Netherlands.

Back in topic; when I use drugs now, it's usually hidden from my family.
 
I have always heard it pronounced Duval (rhymes with "fall") but spelled yeah Duvel and its nice wild-ish yeast profile is available across the world

Well, that is how it's pronounced in both Belgium and I guess being their product, they get to name it.

I’ve heard that from people, and I thought I was having all kinds of epiphanies when I used it in my twenties, but now I realize it didn’t help me. To each their own but I don’t like being around the enlightened self righteous psychedelic crowd either, I stay far away from it.

If you have found a routine that works for you, stick to it. Personally I can’t use cannabis anymore because I get nasty anxiety from it as well. I’m pretty much over drugs and what they did to me, but if it’s beneficial to others, thats great, everyone has a right to their own path.
