Can you control your drug use?

I'm even more curious to know how long people replying in this thread thought they had it under control?
 
I thought I had it under control from 2006-2009. Then I was pushed into 'different way (pace?) of living. I'd say I DID honestly have it under control 2006-2007(and 3/4..5/6???Hah!).

It is nearly 2012 and I am further IN the hole than ever. Control(less)!?
 
I would say they took over my life soon after I first took them at 16. I was such a lonely kid and when I started taking drugs I found a group of people and an indentity that I finally felt happy with. Since then I've never been able to shake the 'drug user' identity, it's what I know. The drugs of choice have changed but it's all much the same.
 
We have a thread similar to this one, "Can you control your drug use?"

If you don't mind, I'm going to go ahead and merge the two.
 
I know that I can. It takes mental strength. I'm going back to doing k again, but I managed to avoid it for a few months.
It's like with my smoking.. sometimes I'm too broke to be able to afford a pack, but I can usually survive a few days and be fine without them. I know I don't need them, and I know that I can quit whenever I like because it seems to be easy to go without them. But I want them anyways.
 
thought i did, obviously i don't. I truly believe that controlling an opiate or benzo addiction is impossible psychedelics and weed are completely different(and completely controllable?) as for stimulants fuck em i hate em so ya i can control my stimulate abuse, but downers make me crazy addicted
 
Although they are "prescribed to me" I think I've lost control of the benzos. I don't feel normal after taking them for several years daily without them. I'm scared of the path ahead if I decide to part ways with them :(

You could in theory say I'm addicted to pot? I smoke daily, have for about 7 years and I'm only 24, and I've gone through ridiculous means to get it. But, honestly, I'm more afraid of the benzos in every way.

Nicotine in theory? Many failed attempts at quitting smoking?

In terms of things like opiates, I have a lot of self control, keep a ridiculously low tolerance and only use them on occasion and thoroughly enjoy when I do. Coke I like on occasion as well,same with alcohol, but almost never now anymore.

So, I think the answer is, I can control some drugs but not others, which I'm guessing is the case for most people.
 
Just about. I used to binge on MDMA, once I was on it I'd end up taking more and more, then buying more etc. I was with MDMA like my mates were with coke. One day I had a horrible, horrible comedown and decided I needed to stop - It's been just over 2 years since I touched the stuff :) My biggest vice at the moment is weed. I'm smoking a lot, but I'm in the process of cutting down. I'm not too fussed as there's plenty of worse things to over-indulge in, but I'd still prefer to be a casual user again.
 
I find it easy to control my use as long as i'm not around people. Social situations seem to be my triggers, cept there are times when I impulsively trip trying to return to previous times but it never works out like that. Only thing i'm tempted to do on my own is smoke but i've gotten better about it and remind myself it's more worthwhile to take care of errands and other productive activities first that way I can just chill and enjoy my high. heh
 
I can be around a large amount of my d.o.c (oxycodone) and not take any, so in that aspect, I am in control. I do however always think about the next time I am going to get high, so the drugs do have some control over my mind.

I am pretty good at limiting my use, and I often pass on deals if they aren't good. I really don't go out of my way for drugs, or try to find new connects. It is a lot easier to control your drug use if you are not physically dependent.
 
I usually get bored with all drugs to get any chance to get carried away. Only drug I have done every day longer than 2 weeks is my prescribed Norcos for the pain of my scoliosis.

Never liked coke or any stimulant so thats out of the question. Weed was okay for a while but its been 8 years along with alcohol since ive done either one. If its a really good Sativa, I would probably try it now. Tried anything with oxycodone in it but started to hate the drug after 2 months & I wasnt using every day, I just hate the way it stimulates & just like the high anymore. Did Morphine off & on for several months but it seems I am starting to dislike that also, maybe its because I did it every day last week & its just getting to the point I dont enjoy it, thats the same with oxycodone.

Hydrocodone like I said before I dont mind, for some reason it doesnt bother me like the others if I use it every day & I never up my dose because I cant get high, im just trying to take away the pain. Maybe if I had an unlimited supply of codeine, I could do it every day because I like it as much as hydrocodone.

Maybe all this is a good thing & a blessing in disguise that I dont enjoy most of the opiates like others do. Tried smoking cigarettes for months on end & couldnt get hooked, I got to really hate them.
 
If I have heroin, I can't not do it. As sad as it sounds, I have a hard time thinking of anything I love more than heroin....as I'm sure other addicts feel as well. The love of it and the dire fear of being sick is what controls me, I am NOT in control. Any other drug on planet Earth I don't care about and will only do if I'm with a friend that offers, which is usually like 1-2 a month when I smoke pot and have a few beers.
 
Yes I can almost all drugs. I mean I guess I'm addicted to weed but that doesn't concern me

What concerns me is that my family has a history of addiction and my mom is just recently trying to get sober from a hardcore alcohol addiction. I realize I can drink a six pack and feel fine and want more beer or drink beer all day everyday. I'm controlling it for now but I recently broke up with my GF. Who I now know subconsciously helped me control my drinking. I got it under wraps for now, but I need to take good care of myself.
