A thought on drugs

When I first started using drugs it was to get away from then normal. Now as I sit alone, my hands trembling so bad I cant even split my pill in half, I use drugs to feel normal. But that normal is not what I seek. This is an alternate normal that was created 3 years ago when I started using opiates. I must recreate myself. Kind of like being born again but not religous and shit. Just a new me. I start to realize more and more of whats real the lower my dose gets. How ironic that I had this thought when I am trying to split in half the pill that is making my hands shake to begin with. This site very well could have saved my life. Some of the advice has gotten me through bad withdrawals. Hell just writing what the hell is going through my twisted head helps. My goal is to feel normal again without the oxy's. Funny though how you start using for one reason and keep using for another.
 
It really helps. Just getting it all out and being completly honest about my addiction. I didnt use that word reffering to myself till recently. I dont know any addicts who have any intention on stopping so getting my voice heard to people that have been there and done that and know how hard it is helps. Everyone on here "gets it" cause those who havent used dont have a fucking clue!
 
I know you meant good, but suggesting someone drink alcohol isn't harm reduction.

and yes, marijuana is a drug. its just a good/less harmful one! :)
 
"Dude, the answer is obvious - don't cut your pills in half!" LMAO Got to break em in half I am tapering. And yeah weed can be called a drug or not but I will always smoke:) It really is a "good" drug.
 
my close friend, ive gotten that ironic feeling so many times. I think the only good solution is to quit and things should be normal again within a year. oh, and no weed is not really a "good" drug. guess ur not that close a friend after all.

ime and in the experience of everyone i know, weed IS a good drug.

i myself don't even smoke weed, maybe once a twice a month before i go to bed on a stressful day. any other time i smoke weed, i become riddled with anxiety and unable to cope in social situations... yet, i still consider it a good drug, because the few times i DO really want to smoke it, it helps me relax and push some of the stressful things in my life to the back of my head.

it's not that it's a bad drug. abuse of any drug can potentially be 'bad.'

Right, and other drugs are also good for you for that reason. i just lost my laptop, my only alright pipe, my fucking life, so I think I have 100% of a right to hate you. its like "well, it can help me relax so its not THAT bad, infact its good cause it helps me relax"
let me tell you something buddy, it's called being human, my friends and i fool each other all the time about that kind of shit. but i am tired being with a group who is so far below me.

yeah, and other drugs can be used responsibility, with much benefit. i think you missed what im saying. drugs aren't bad (save for drugs that have no known benefits and only offer negative side effects) unless you're stupid with them.

it's good if you make it good. it's bad if you make it bad.
 
don't recommend alcohol and weed as an alternative to opiates, they can fuck up your life just as bad if you're an addict. alcohol is much more toxic than opiates are and I have more than a few friends who do nothing but smoke weed, they have tons of potential but they can't see it through the clouds of smoke.

no doubt opiates can and do fuck up lives but telling someone that drinking and smoking weed is better for you than opiates is bad advice.

I take opiates daily and function much better than most of my friends who get drunk and high on weed every night. I know people who function very well and smoke weed constantly, I also know high functioning alcoholics.

It's all about what works for each individual, I smoked weed for fifteen years daily and drank constantly for most of my twenties, I don't think weed and alcohol are a better choice, try getting completely sober and hanging out with your drinking friends.... it's pretty fucking pathetic.

Anyway, I think I always took drugs to feel normal in a sense. I think I was self medicating anxiety issues from the beginning, I just didn't know it.

I think it's about how you use the drug and why, any drug or addictive behavior pattern can do you in. I don't want to advocate using any drugs I just think it's annoying when people recommend alcohol and weed as a better option than opiates, if opiates were legal I'd think they would be a better option health wise. Weed can be great for some people, alcohol used moderately is also fine, abuse any of these substances and it's bad news.

those are both drugs, albeit less hard drugs in the eye of society, they are still drugs. and alcohol addiction can be just as bad as opiate addiction for some
the best thing for you to do is to be totally sober, if you really feel like you need to smoke weed or drink i mean obv i cant stop you but my advice would be to stop using altogether, its the best way for an addict to live.
