Do you ever plan on giving up drugs?

Just wondering how many of you out there think you will still be on drugs in 5-10 years, and if so, at what level would you be using?

For example: I have many friends over 40 and even over 50 who still get on it on a regular basis... even parents of mates are still smashing themselves around..

I find that these days (due to my newfound control and ability to say no!) that I take a pill about every three months or so...prolly longer than that...

but if I'm out.. all I want to do is be home where I can enjoy the experience to its fullest (actually I just love laying on the floor squeezing pillows when off chopperoonies)

I cant pull of these wicked dance moves that the kiddies are doing (such as the fancy footwork of those kids who hang out at the Icebox in Sydney)

Anyone want to hook up and teach my man and I how to do that fukin thing?

So anyway... off the tangent and back to the topic...

Q: WHEN DO YOU PLAN ON GIVING UP THE DRUGS ONCE AND FOR ALL???
 
Hopefully never. I just expect that my usage will die down so that maybe i will drop e occasionally ect. I cant see myself going out to raves dropping or having 3 day meth binges when im older but definatly can see myself using at home with a small group of close freinds.

I guess the only way i would stop is if i have too much now, so i either loose interest in drugs or the negative effects out way the positive.

You never know i might become a born again christian (i highly doubt it) and never take drugs agian. hell u can't predict the future, I'll just take it as it comes and hope im happy. =D

**Actaully im curious would people decsions to hav children effect the drug use in the future or would you just smoke up with ya kids when they are old enough?**
 
I don't think I'd ever stop if I can avoid it...I don't take drugs to get fully fucked up, I take them to enhance the experience I'm having anyway. So while I can't see myself at the age of 50 jumping up and down to cheesy hard house, I can definitely still see the benefits of chilling out and bonding with friends..
 
^^yeah same....i don't think i'll be doing pills and what not but i can't see myself giving up the odd trip or two or sharing a spliff with mates :)
 
I don't think I will be using any drugs in a few years time. To me, they are a fun experience and have opened my eyes, although I think there is a time for everything.

When I have children, I don't want ANY drugs around them. I have seen drugs bring out the worst in alot of people & situations, and I don't want to subject my children to that. Even if I did use whilst they were either asleep or being babysat, I feel it's still not good. Drugs fck with a persons mind, and can cause schizophrenia and sht... it's fun now, and although i've probably already fkd my brain up to a certain extent, i'd prefer to reduce my chances of losing the plot. I don't want my children to have a mother who is mentally out of control.

I don't want my children to see me taking drugs (or see me smashed) as perhaps then they will think it is ok to do. I don't want my children using drugs if I can help it, as although I enjoy using them, they also have many bad side effects. I understand though that there is every possibility that they will, and i'm not going to go off my rocker if I find out they have experimented, but I want them to have a role model to look up to & not one who promotes the usage of illegal substances.

I also won't be using drugs (I don't even use much at the moment at all) because of the personal and physical consequences. I love life & I want to live to an old age & I feel that using drugs may reduce my life span or cause health problems when i'm older.
 
^^ best post I've read for awhile, very mature and responsible - my thoughts exactly as a parent.

As for me, I've been off them for 2 years and don't look like going back to them anytime soon - I have too many other things that I enjoy doing that don't require anything to enhance the feeling.

Life and my son is enough for me :)
 
good points by everyone :)

personally, no. firstly, i don't plan on having children for a very long time, if at all, and when that happens my feelings might change, but i would presume that i'd just be more selective in my usage - i would never allow my use to at all compromise the safety of *anyone* i care for, especially not children.

like others have said, i would hope to continue my drug use for the rest of my life, but on a much reduced scale. the positives i gain from drug use far outweigh the negatives at this stage, and i can't really see my usage getting any more prevalent, so i would presume that it would only get easier to deal with.

in my own mind, i still have a lot of experimenting to do, and once that's done i would just like the occasional pill, or trip, or whatever. it's too important to me to quit for good...plus drugs make me more creative :)

hmmm yeah it's easy to say you won't use them when you actually are not a parent... (haste being an exception because he is one...although you still drink yes? ) whoa i feel so many guilt trips when i hear people talking about this topic...drugs and kids that is. I'm a parent, a single mum in fact with a eight year old child. Most of you started your drug use and experimentation young yes? so most likely you will go through your few year drug faze and it will pass and then you will go on to have family and marrige and all that boring stuff yeah? well i had a baby at 16 so was changing nappies then so i'm kinda going backwards. I can't really help the situation life through at me *shrugs*

It was not until he was three years old that i split up with his father and actually had time to myself on the weekends when he went to visit him. I didn't take drugs until i was 23...only been doing drugs for 2 years or so. I'm not fucked up, my child is not in danger, drugs are not used around him and my brain is actually more open and i'm not mentally out of control.

I'm a bit of a nutter and a little odd perhaps but fuck i actually like that about me and so does everyone who knows me (including my child who i have been raising on my own for the last six years) drugs have helped me discover who i am (and still do ) Personally i'm a better person because i did start using drugs , i discovered different perceptions and finally liked who i was and have been the happiest since i have been a "drug user" My son feeds off my good energies and he's actually happier in the last 3 yrs then he ever has before aswell.....my son says to me "your crazy mum but i love you for it" =D and "you dont look like all the other mums at school" which i love that he is actually proud of my difference and with that he is proud of him being different. Drugs have taught me to be more open minded and have a strong sense of individualism which i have passed on to my son who embraces that idea...who in turn will take that perception into adulthood and share it with his peers....wow i'm raising a free thinker and he's only eight!! who knows maybe the next generation won't actually get sucked in to the conformoties i society and won't be obssessed with greed and money but concentrate on being happy, the beauty in the world and more important things in life like humanity .

......it's easy to judge when your not in the situation and easier still to talk about heresay

If you are referring to my post, I would like to make a few things clear. The opinions I presented were MINE and not meant to offend any parents who do use drugs. I don't think any less of you or JUDGE you for that matter about your own personal choices. All I was trying to say, was that I, PERSONALLY plan to choose not to use drugs when I have a child. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and I hate to be made out as a judgemental person because that is VERY far from what I am.

One of my best friends had a baby about 8 weeks ago, and her and her partner continue to smoke pot, as she did the whole time throughout the pregnancy. I am still very good friends with her & I don't believe i've ever judged her for this. I did offer my advice to her, which she took no notice of, and the baby was born 8 weeks premature (which is a side effect of smoking pot during pregnancy).. luckily it wasn't born with any major problems.

I can tell from your posts that you are not a stupid person, and I can also tell that you love your child with all your heart. I'm sure your positivity also benefits your child greatly & you seem like a great mother! Hope you didn't take my previous post the wrong way, as it was not an attack against parents who use drugs... rather, simply presented my OWN opinions.
 
Doofqueen, whatever floats your boat - you don't have to justify it to anyone but yourself - these are merely opnions expressed, I didn't see any personal attacks or judgements on you.

I do drink alcohol yes - excessively around my son or when he's in my care - no. Do I take him to any establishments that contain multitudes of people drinking - no. Will I take him to any events that have a high percentage of people on substances - no.

Why? cause I don't thinks its healthy for a multitude of reasons. The reasons are my own and don't require justifying :)
 
I'm predicting the years of my heaviest drug use will be when I'm sitting bored shitless in some retirement village 40 years from now hahahahaa! =D

yes i realise that no one was judging me personally and people were just stating their opinions. i just wanted to state mine to conter act what was said because it's a very touchy topic with me. I usually get from people who mainly don't know me alot of critisism for my lifestyle and then i question if i am doing the right thing because my son is the most important thing in the world to me and when i think i'm doing something that is bad for him i start to worry and then get anxious but when it comes down to it all i need to do to know everything i am doing right is look at who he is and i have my answer. I know i don't have to justify myself, it's just when their are posts about it from people basically saying they wouldn't do all the things that i actually do i get a little paranoid and don't want people thinking that i'm not raising him properly (not that it matters what anyone says but you know how it is :\) It just stems from be being a mother at 16 and getting "your too young to raise a child properly" "you can't do it on your own" and blah blah blah when my son has been better brought up then most kids i have seen raised i the white picket fence, religious, 2.3 kid famlys and what not...it's just a touchy subject for me is all...

on topic:

I don’t think I ever actually plan on giving up drugs, I do however think it is something that will just occur naturally. Slowly over the past few years I’ve been giving up drugs mainly because I don’t feel like doing them.

First I stopped taking daily, then the weekly binges stopped, the monthly events stopped and now the 4 monthly event/holiday binges have stopped. When I do take, I take a hell of a lot less and I don’t really feel the need to bust my ass the next day just to stay high.

I guess there will be a time when I don’t take at all but I can’t say when that will be, it’s not something I have planned or even think that you can plan for. :)

Meh who really knows what they'll do in the future. I don't and am glad about it. Life, no matter how individualistic you may think you are, follows patterns- sooner or later you fall into the abstinance pattern due to the circumstances of your life and just as predictably you'll fall in the next pattern where use of some sort (including mild alcohol consumption) is accomodated. Whatever floats your boat really, it's all just part of growing old- disgracefully if needs be. Do i think i'll turn into a complete abstainer subsiding on water and bread with rampant holier than thou attitude- i think not! But then again you never really know...... what if major Watters learned mind control and became the unquestion lord and master of the earth?
Hopefully i'd have the strength of mind to break free and bottle him and gulp down those precious last drops of beer. I love beer and it loves me, let's hope it stays that way!
 
=Huggz to Doofqueen=

I can understand you feeling threatened somewhat, and wanting to explain yourself - - - Kitty, I'm not arguing here, but I think the points raised kinda' were on topic. :\
The question is about drug use in your future years, and children are a natural part of growing older for lots of people.


Props to you, DQ with the way you're raising your little sunshine. :D
 
fuck, looks like i missed a whole bunch hey :) dunno what kitty removed from the thread, but hopefully we can all keep this nicely on-topic from now...? just don't get so defensive people (and that means no one's allowed to take that comment personally ;)).

just to reiterate what i already said - i will continue to do drugs as long as they continue to be a positive experience for me. i would presume that as i get older my use of "party" drugs (say, amphetamines; mdma etc.) will taper off, but my use of psychedelics and other "self-exploring" drugs will increase somewhat (well, i do them *very* little now). and though i'd like to quit smoking weed -my lungs hate me- the benefits of this drug are probably enough to keep me on it, in one way or another, for many years to come.

i'm a *reasonably* creative person, and i try to use drugs to enhance this, something that will only increase as i get older...

Click to expand...

Some of my mates have a plan similar to this.
We are all to meet in the same nursing home in our wheel chairs or wat eva. You know how nuses hand out little cups wiht medication well for us each cup will have a new drugs for us to have each day. so monday might be lsd, tuesday MDMA you get the idea. the theory is we are gunna die soon so we may aswell live everyday as our last.

its gunna be fun!!
Unrealistic but fun.
=D
 
After earthcore I decided that there is going to be no more drugs for this lil girl & so far I am hanging in there. Haven't really had any urges to have any though to be honest and I doubt that I will again. Time to get pleasure from other things in my life :)
