CAN U live without DRUGS???

I seem to be the exception to the rule here... I am very happy, and use drugs to enhance life.

I could stop at any minute, but I don't have any reason to - using isn't affecting any facet of my life negatively.
 
Yes, I could. But if you want to be philosophical (and that's the type of question this is) the answer would be no to everybody in the world. Television, the internet, buying things, or anything that makes one happy is a drug. But in the case of going without mind-altering substance, if someone were to bet me $200. million right now, I'd never take another Dexedrine or smoke another cigarette for the rest of my life. So yes, I can. Doing drugs is a selfish act anyways.
 
I absolutely think that I can; its my goal in life to not have to rely on drugs for comfort, social pleasure, energy, etc. Currently, I do smoke cigarettes daily, pot every couple days, and usually alcohol on the weekends; I am in college, so these things are not particularly looked down upon, but I know they take away from my productivity and overall happiness, not add to it.

That and my family supports me financially again, sort of. Otherwise, I honestly feel like I am doing this for everyone else, to appease them, to get "them" off my back, to fulfill everyone else's hopes and dreams for "success".

90 days is a long ass time, depending on what drugs you were on. you got alot of willpower.
That sounds amazing to me, although i always pictured my life as returning to normal - or normal in the sense i would want it to be.. if i possibly went even half that amount of time sober.



Now, honestly....if you felt like your doing this for everyone else to get them off your back.
Then actually your doing it for yourself. Becaues "you want them off your back"
And if they are doing it, in hopes that you will one day achieve your hopes and dreams for "success"

Then again, your actually doing it for yourself - becaues you already mentioned the lifestyle you would like to achieve. Which was your own goal , not theirs.


I can picture your situation somewhat, how the pressure would make you feel like your actually just trying to appease everyone else.
But it looks like your subconciously trying real hard to doit becaues you want to.




Just wanted to say, if anything......you sound like a success story in progress. But its that personality fragmentation.....that makes shit go from one direction to another..one thought from another....from good to bad.. ..eh.


I don't really get positive effects from drugs i have been thinking lately....
if im not on them....im...well.. pretty much same as you described. except i go back to reality and realize what i have been doing.

If i continue on the drugs, the only purpose they serve is to numb any possible emotion/guilt that may sneak up and try to get threw the day.
Which is basically...just blocking out the fact im destroying my world to the ground.

like a catch-22 or something.
I'm on heavy doses of dexedrine,alcohol, and xanax from morning....and repeatly during the day....and then at night...mixing them. doses getting higher.and higher...other drugs coming into play. but i don't think about it.
I have never even thought about seeking help, becaues i don't believe it would be possible for me.


Being in my situation, and reading what you wrote......i'd say you got it going for ya lol.
Take out all the lines, that were simply your a theory of hopelessness/depression type statements. like i did Theres a small chunk in there that sums up as - "i have a plan, and its gonna work"
 
I feel better whenever I decide to go on a drug-free stint and usually in the mornings when I wake up after a sober night, full of realistic and happy dreams. Personally, I've found that drugs stop me from dreaming at night. When I have good dreams I feel good. When I just go to sleep and wake up my day is shitty.
 
Basically you have to fill the void. Drugs consume you, when you stop you feel like you lost your best friend, where the hell did my attachment go? Yeah, thats how it is. You gotta be positive, and believe you can overcome the shit.

I've been sober for about a week now, and I still have cravings. I know I'll use again, Im not gonna lie, but I needed to stop for awhile to make some lifestyle changes. Drugs were consuming me into a pit of oblivion, I was basically forced to stop, rather I wanted to or not. I wrecked my car, lost my job, got arrested way too many times.

I just want to be sober for awhile and be able to sort things out with my life with a clear mind for the time being. I don't mind using drugs, but when Im using them trying to mask reality on a 24/7 basis, that shit is not healthy. peace

i also enjoy dreaming. JTMarlin, try some melatonin, and you'll have your dreams back.
 
certainly not with the current u.s. president and administration. stopping rapidly could be seriously dangerous for your health and really, what's the point. best of luck in your endeavor...
 
Technically, i would probably die if i stopped taking drugs, probably within 50-60 hours (without medical attention). My 150mg/methadone a day probably would kill me, but in combination with my 160mg of diazepam/day addiction, i would without a doubt die of a grand mal seziure or stroke.......

But yes, i think i could live without drugs, once i got off the high doses of these very addictive substances that have me in their grip......
 
I think yes, but, unfortunately, the answer is probably no. But, I am coming to terms with it more and more. I try to control my intake so as not to blow my tolerance through the roof, though, aside from my daily intake, I think I also need other drugs. I have an incredible desire to escape reality, especially considering reality can be so fucked up. I have a good life, great home, good paying and respectable job, beautiful hot wife who is straight (no drugs) and sooo fucking hot, but yet I feel like something is missing. Sometimes I feel as though she could never deal with me if I had to be as depressed as I would be without drugs. I think she may have the ostridge syndrome (head in sand), but nonetheless, I never drink/drug and drive, I rarely get violent any longer (I used to be a ruthless motherfucker), and I am genuinely happy, when I have my drugs. So, after typing all of these characters, the answer is a resounding no. Will I have to eventually? Probably. But for now, time to get higher.

Oh, I get them now uumpa. Every since I've stopped smoked weed, drinking, and popping Dexedrine like they were candy. I take like 20-30mg a day now, early, and never stay up all night. Man do those REM cycles help! I've heard melatonin is very helpful, a friend gave me some pills once but I lost them. You're right, I quit taking Dexdedrine this summer and I was just bored most of the time. Not something that was terrible though, which is why I don't see the point of doing opiates, benzos, meth, or coke on huge doses everyday. As much as I love benzos, they make you forget your life and mask your problems...opiates even more so. And then quitting them just magnifies them ten fold. I got some valiums last week and I regret it. Made me feel like shit for days and I still don't remember much of the week. I can't imagine taking that stuff everyday.
 
i could definetly live without drugs...but there would be a certain boredom factor in life, let me tell you. i can't really sit here, being 18 years old, picture never taking another substance that alters my brain chemistry in any way. (including caffeine).
 
I know that I can live without drugs.
The question is do I want to? No. Not right now.

When I had a wonderful girlfriend I quit doing drugs. Then when I found out she wasn't so wonderful and I didn't constantly have someone else around, I used drugs more as I was alone more often.
I don't use anything as serious as in the past, but I still use. And I don't feel bad about it, I like life with drugs and I have no reason to stop right now.
