Would this poll make sense?

5 options, choose one

1) I am a younger sibling, and I've had a history of chemical dependancy
2) I am a younger sibling, and I've been able to avoid addiction

3) I am an older sibling, and I've had a history of chemical dependancy
4) I am an older sibling, and I've been able to avoid dependency

5) I am an only child.

This is still problematic. Help is welcome :) I'll keep modifying the poll untill I get it right.

I'm a middle child. I love drugs, and maybe I'm addicted to drugs in general, but not a specific one...and I don't let it run my life.
 
Where's the "I'm younger and just like drugs managing not to get hooked on anything" option? :p Oh well, option one for me then.
 
Im the youngest out of 3. My oldest sister has had a drug addiction with weed and a speed habit(wouldnt call it addiction) She quit a few years ago but we used to smoke together all the time and I gave her her first MDMA pill when I was about 15 and she was 25 lol. We used to do lots of drugs together until she got pregnant and quit, I honestly dont think she would have ever quit if she hadnt have got pregnant and believe me it was hell having 2 addicts in the house, I stole some drugs off her once and she literally nearly killed me and it turned into a huge physical fight. she didnt have dealers either and relied on me to get her stuff so if I didnt want to go out or I couldnt get anything and she wanted something then it would always turn into a fight, once she even said "if you dont go get me pot I will call the police" lol wtf? But at that time I was mentally sick and any time someone mentioned police id be scared stiff.

But she's now quit, she uses speed every now and then but I dont like getting it for her so its not often, I dont feel good about getting my sister, someone im supposed to care about, the worst drug there is(meth).

My middle sister has smoked pot once she told me and has no interest in anything else. her and her boyfriend are big drinkers but I wouldnt call them alcoholics or even habitual drinkers, just binge drinkers and they enjoy it in the right circumstances.

Some of those stats sound right though, my oldest sister was considered "gifted" and has a very high iq, she was dux of her school(not sure which one) and is a very smart cookie and a very good mother. I think the long term drug use has fucked her up a bit though, my mother and myself have been wondering lately if she has bi-polar or something(my dad has it) because she's been going PSYCHO lately at the drop of a hat, she will go mental and then be fine a few minutes later and it will happen over a few days. She will be depressed for a few days then she will have this burst of happiness then the next second shes screaming obcenities at the top of her lungs. It was like this when she was on drugs so I think the weed mostly has mentally screwed her up.

My middle sister isnt so smart but shes dedicated and determined and very creative, shes studying very successfully to be an art teacher. She isnt dumb at all but shes just smart in much different ways. Im not sure if she'd do drugs if she could, probably not but she's got epilepsy so I think that prevents her from doing most recreational drugs.

Myself, well I have a high IQ but I am a bit of a fuckup(school dropout, drug addict, troubles with the law) and I have the responsible voice in my head telling me what to do, but alot of the time I dont listen. I have much potential, I just have to put my mind to it.

We all have our similarities and differences but were family and thankfully we stick together. I got a good family :)
 
I'm an older sibling, and as far as I know, my younger brother has no idea of my drug use. I haven't lived at home for 6 years now though, so we don't see each other often, aside from holidays. He's only in high school still and I wouldn't want him fucking around with drugs yet. I think he's got good influences around him and I'm happy with that. When he's older I'll be able to be a bit more open with him about what I do.
 
I'm the youngest, smartest, probably going to be most successful and have only fucked up once with a drug test.
 
I am a younger sibling but have a younger sister and two older brothers. My oldest brother and my sister do drugs but don't get addictive about it. On the other hand my other brother and I definitely share addictive personalities. He has been drinking very heavily for years and I have been on and off opiates for a while.

Youngest sibling here. Two older brothers. Both of them did the typical "smoke a small amount of pot, nothing else" thing that everybody does.

I'm the one who's done every drug on the planet, spent plenty of years addicted to opiates, been arrested a handful of times sporadically in that period, now on suboxone and addicted to benzos, etc

All in all, I'm the "fuck-up" of the family - but the most successful of the three of us. LOL!

wow dude... we are pretty similar in a few aspects of life.... i'm the youngest of three. an older brother and older sister. they smoked pot, drank, did coke, shrooms, meth, but only experimented, neither did anything but pot/cigarettes/alcohol on a regular basis, and maybe a coke binge for a few days once in a blue moon. i'm the youngest and i've done every drug commonly abused besides ketamine, PCP, methamphetamine and oxymorphone (opana).

and not only have i taken dozen different types of opioids, and multiple types of stimulants and all of the common benzos and anti-depressants and other street drugs, but i've IV'd many drugs, many times. a level of drug abuse neither of my siblings got to...in fact they never were addicted like i am/was.

anyway i went on suboxone for a year after a 1.5-2 year morphine/oxycodone habit, hated the suboxone and was in pain and got a scriipt for morphine so i'm not in pain anymore (tnank science) and i'm not abusing my opium tincture (morphine) script even though i could be.

i've never been arrested but i am a benzo addict 4 years and going strong. on 20-30mg valium (Roche only) a day. love the valium, it saved my life. got me the best job i've ever had. got me out of $5,000 worth of drug-related debt. got me functioning, got me back into society and life and not constantly sweating/trembling/shaking/nervous/anxious and got me to realize that benzos CAN help severe cases of SAD+GAD+PD but you just need to find the right benzo (i figured if one didn't work none of the other benzos would even be worth trying) but i ended up switching to librium (which was an improvement over klonopin believe it or not. i cannot stand klonopin. it helped me for 1-2 days and that was it. takes WAY too long to kick in and is useless for acute anxiety or panic attacks IME and makes me feel irritable, angry and very depressed and complete loss of inhibitions. (was on 1-4mg a day for 2-3 years).

the librium was ok was taking a hefty dose which was nice (four to six 25mg capsules a day) helped me when i went thru opiate withdrawal for the first time in my life.

then was on ativan, and xanax for short periods of time but both were too short acting for me and the rebound anxiety drove me completely nuts especially right when i'd wake up in the morning feeling like i was in mild W/D or something (every single morning).

then valium. 15mg a day wasn't enough, but i switched docs and got 20-30mg a day and now things are good but yea i'm a benzo addict. the youngest of three siblings and the most nuts with drugs. high now, on oxycontin, morphine, valium, cannabis, diphenhydramine, and jenkem.

peace.
 
i have a younger brother who has been a crack addict and everyone in my family knows about his history of use/abuse.

ive used for years now but have avoided addiction somehow, for the most part i guess. nobody in my family knows about my use, except for my brother.
 
Not sure if that's true. I have a history of addiction and I am an older sibling. I am 2 1/2 years older than my sister, who has been straight-edge for life. However, I would say that we act more like twins. All of our lives it's been that way. I would say that if anything I am the one who acts younger, I've always taken longer to be successful and pull myself together.
 
I'm the youngest. My sister and me are pretty much exact opposites. Shes smoked pot a couple times and rarely drinks.

Me on the other hand have been to a couple rehabs, arrested once and spent a good 3 or 4 years just being a complete fuck-up. now i'm only a part time fuck up.
