i used to drink a lot. almost every day for 3 years. i started rolling when i was 13 then i stopped and delved into drugs pretty deeply my main poisons of choice were heroin meth, and alcohol.
i used whatever i could find too (marijuana, various downers and uppers, mushrooms, blow, etc.) but if i couldnt find any drugs i would be drunk every single day for 3 years. i am now 18 and in june of 2010 after taking a year long break from MDMA i decided it was time for me to go back to it. I rolled better than my first time and ever since i was rolling every weekend or every other weekend up until now, my last time rolling was saturday november 13. in september of this year i noticed a change in me, i felt happier and i was actually starting to like life, i felt so bored of everything. i have a job, i have a place to live but i was bored with everything and i was even contemplating on ending my life i saw no point in living if im going to feel like this forever, but ever since that day in september my life changed. i no longer felt the need to drink, i felt relieved and i understand now how people, sober people are happy im starting to see how i can be happy by just doing little meaningful things in life, smiling to the customers at work, helping someone out if someone dropped something, those little things bring me joy now. i dont feel like i have a black cloud hanging over me anymore, i feel so free now, i feel like i have a shot at making my life the best it could be.

ive used MDMA in a home setting, i usually go to my friends house bring four tabs with me, we like to chill and hang out for a bit before i roll. then i double drop and we just listen to music on my friends amazing speakers, i lay on the bed reveling in complete bliss and euphoria.
i like to use MDMA at clubs but i feel like it should be taken at home with people you trust, where i know im going to be safe.

ever since ive been using MDMA every weekend to every other weekend has had profound changes in me, i know it sounds pretty pathetic that i roll that much but its helped me and im planning to stop this new years.

stay safe and happy rolling.
 
congratulations to you! it does sound a bit early to rejoice just yet, you should develop a long-term plan and try to not roll more than once a month if you plan to roll long-term. also keep in mind, what if your source for mdma runs out and you don't roll for several months, will you return to other drugs? at this point mdma may just be acting as a substitute so now's the time to address the long-term.

not to be a downer entirely, i agree that mdma is an incredible therapeutic tool. i used to drink a LOT as well, everyday to be honest. i didn't get drunk everyday but i did drink. i started rolling fairly often and long story short, i almost haven't had any alcohol since early 2002. to be honest, for some weird reason around that time i just stopped having interest in alcohol. when i drank while going through that rolling-too-often phase it made me feel dirty for some reason. i tried drinking a few times and i just didn't like it anymore. so now, almost 9 years later nothing has changed. i had a milkshake about 2 years ago (the only drink i've had during this time) and didn't know it had alcohol in it and didn't taste the alcohol either. a friend made it who didn't know i didn't drink. anyway it was a bigass shake and before i knew it i had a very heavy buzz, numb, and warm all over. as nice as that sounds to some, i didn't enjoy it whatsoever. i actually hate the effects of alcohol but 10 years ago i loved it. long story short, yes i believe you and you have a very good chance of making that a permanent change, you just have to want it bad enough. i still do mdma from time to time, after all these years it's still my favorite drug. i trip every now and then too. my guilty pleasure that i wish i hated like alcohol is opiates, i like them too much. i find it's easier to go without them after rolling, i feel alive and cleansed, free from everything that holds you down. i'm sure you know what i mean =D

best of luck to you and hang in there. think of what you'll do if/when the mdma runs out and be sure to limit yourself from rolling. tolerance is a bitch and it creeps up fast.

yeah, and i'm not realy sure on this, (kind of varies person to person and how much one does it) but mdma might have less negative side effects and in the long term mdma abuse might be slightly better than alcoholism?

I don't know if i'd go that far. I have only done E twice so I can't speak from personal experience, but if half of the testimonies on this board are true then MDMA is quite a devastating drug to abuse. Sure it won't mess up your body like alcohol, but it messes with your brain which is just as scary if not more IMO.

People who abuse MDMA can go into severe depression, become "depersonalized", etc. An alcoholic will just speed up his demise.

The one thing MDMA has going for it though is that it's not physically addictive.
 
I'd consider myself an alcoholic, and I think mdma has helped me realize how much I despise alcohol and what it does to me.

I've had hangovers and alcohol withdrawal that make an mdma comedown seem like a joke. It really is far more horrible for your body if abused than mdma is (with a normal dosage).

I plan to roll every couple of months, but it's been longer since my last roll so I picked up drinking again, just for the reason that its what all my friends do. Trying to stop again however.

MDMA really can do great things. Whereas alcohol tends to keep me depressed, long even I stop drinking, after a night of MDMA, my mood is good for weeks thereafter. Just dont abuse it, its easy to replace one with another, but thats not solving any problems.

ok i have drank alot of alcohol in my day but never been addicted to it. i have been addicted to X though and the long term effects from that deff seem like they are worse, although like i said i have never been an alcoholic. now if you take it like you are supposed to then yes alcohol's effects would be way worse. but if you abuse it like i and many others have, then its still up to debate. and while X is not physically addicting, the mental addiction is just as bad as a physical one to me

you can't get physically dependent on mdma like you can alcohol. it's only psychological. bottom line is mdma is NOT a physically addictive drug and it has no withdrawal symptoms. yes the negative effects get worse the more often you do it that's true with everything but you cannot abuse mdma in the sense that you can abuse alcohol. try rolling multiple days in a row on pure mdma, i bet within a few days you can no longer roll. no eye dilation, no appetite suppression, you'll only get a strange high with restless legs syndrome, strange but true. i say this from experience. your brain doesn't have enough serotonin to keep up with an mdma addiction. go tell your fairytales elsewhere, you were probably addicted to meth of some other adulterant in the pill.

bottom line is you can abuse mdma but not everyday like alcohol. i've never heard of someone having seizures because they didn't get their mdma. i've never heard of mdma bringing out aggressiveness in people. i can go on all day. now.... which one sounds more dangerous?

now thats the dumbest fucking statement i have heard on here. well, one of them. i said the addiction was mental i never said it was physical. and i used to roll 3-4 times a week i do believe i know what i am talking about. and yes, you can still get fucked up you must have been getting pipes or some weak ass shit. yes, mdma can make people aggressive when they dont have it i have done it myself. you are so full of shit if you think that if someone does alcohol and mdma the same amount that alcohol would be worse. so YOU take YOUR "fairy tales" elsewhere
 
the "individual" factor is at play here. you mean to tell me you've honestly been addicted to mdma, you've actually fiended for mdma? it's one thing to desire it, it's another to be in the psychological clutches of dependence. i'm not going to get into a dick-sizing contest on here and derail the thread, i'll pm over my "credentials" to you to give credibility to my claims. we'll take this argument to pm.

people abuse mdma, i've abused the hell out of it, however mdma is not addicting. if you think it is then you've never had a real addiction... and that's a good thing.
 
Some people do use MDMA everyday, though it doesn't seem to be common. When abused MDMA has devastating mental effects, though it seems to be a pretty satisfying drug for most in that users don't crave more and more like you would with a meth binge for example. I'd take that over a physical addiction any day. MDMA is a great drug for responsible recreational drug use. It can be hard for some to find that balance right away, but extreme abuse (like everyday) isn't common.
 
College fraternity kid here. Used to black out a lot, drink a ton, it was all fun and I regret nothing. But after starting my MDMA phase, I've dialed that down a LOT. I want to remember the good times!
 
Thats good that MDMA "cured" your alchoholism, but thats not necessarily a good thing. My experience with this, is i was also pretty close to being an alchoholic, then when i discovered MDMA i completely stopped drinking...but instead i got "addicted" to mdma...so yeah. Now, years later, i have stopped taking mdma (roll about 1-2 times a year now, compared to twice a week), i have gone back to drinking and its worse this time around.


And im just gonna say this based on my experience with both substances, i believe that mdma affected me worse than the alchohol in the long run so far. im no longer the person i used to be. my memory and behavior suffered because of my abuse. =\
