Do you consider yourself an addict?

Even though I am on MMT and no longer shooting dope, I still consider myself an addict. I don't think it is something that is ever going to leave me. I have much more self control now, i don't need to steal money or anything to get my fix. But if I ever have a stash of benzos or amphetamines or anything I never NEVER ever can manage to save them.. Always take them regularly until i run out. Sucks.
 
Yes, it's dawning on me just of late that I'm a very, very bad addict. I'm at the point where I'm selling off my shit and stuff, the kind of shit that I wouldn't have even been capable of 2 or so years ago. Let's just say that if I was in the place of my relatives I wouldn't trust me as far as I could throw me and would have disowned myself a long, long time ago. I don't want to make it sound like I think I'm hardcore or anything, I know that what I'm dealing with certainly isn't anywhere near what some more seasoned users have to deal with, but it's getting to the point where I'm going to be homeless and penniless unless some shit changes.

Im not an addict to anything in particular (save coffee), but in general I am.


This means that I like getting high too much, but not on anything in particular.
 
eh, it depends how you ask.

am i dependent on anything (currently)? no. i am a polydrug abuser though. i don't have a DOC, but i usually go in phases with drugs (though i will abuse anything i get my hands on).

started with uppers (particularly pharms) at 15/16. moved onto heavy, heavy dxm use 16-17. 17-18 was heavy opiate, psychedelic and alcoholic use.

though nowadays i will PREFER to get alcohol over anything else as it gives me that nihilistic feeling of fuck you and fuck everything (while sprawled out on the floor).

i do however consider myself an addict because of that. so yes, i guess to answer the question without any frills or fluff, yes i'm an addict.
 
Pretty much, I spend just about every cent to buy heroin and anytime I don't have it, I crave it even if I'm not ill. I also do this in the face of being 100% broke with no income in the near future and lacking transportation in an area where walking isn't an option and there really isn't public transportation either. Definitely sounds like an addict to me :(
 
Users, addicts & junkies.... all different IMO.

I consider myself a user, sometimes an addict. I use, a lot, often. But, i can stop (be it by choice or unavailability). I've got an addictive personality, and i know it, so I can pull myself up when I think its getting to that point. I work full time, am married, have great family & friends, own a few houses, so i guess that makes me highly functioning.

Curious, do others see a difference between an addict and a junkie?? What changes in an addict to make them a junkie??
 
A friend made the mistake of asking me to hold a bag of meth for her, just for a day or two.

I said it would be safe with me... but within an hour it was empty. I'm definitely an addict. :\

A "junkie" is a popular term for a heroin/opiate addict. A junkie is an addict, but an addict isn't necessarily a junkie.
 
my thoughts exactly..

So, when does one become the other? And can an addict remain an addict forever, without becoming a junkie?? Is the actual physical dependence the same?? Boggles & intrigues me!!!
 
I don't really like to admit it, but yes. I used to be heavily addicted to heroin... Cleaned up and started drinking way too much. Now I'm in the category as the others who said pretty much anything to feel different. I do, however, work and pay my bills. I have a small, but very close group of friends... I have trouble making new friends, but only because there is no filter between my brain and mouth, so I'm honest to a fault and a lot of people cannot accept the truth, even after asking for it. I've been like that my enitre life though, long before I even took a drag from a cigarette. And according to this I can be a bit longwinded... Yes. Yes, I believe I am an addict.
