Do you ever plan on giving up drugs?

I think I will continue to do drugs forever, in some shape or form. I cannot think of a reason why i wouldn't.
 
just want to say thanks for everyone's comments...

didn't intend on starting up a war on the topic of kids and drugs.... i have a lot more to say on that matter.. will post a comment on the appropriate thread...


as for me.. I am currently stringing out for cones and I dont want to feel like this anymore!!!!

Anyone got any good rapid detox suggestions (apart from drinking gallons of water?)

=)
 
I would never say never just because the thought of never peaking again would be too hard to bear. That's not to say that usage won't taper off naturally over the next few years (fingers crossed, pretty please, with sugar on top ???!!!) ...

:)

...even when any sense of a regular "schedule" has disappeared, it's something that would be nice to have around and maybe one day a long time after partying is all done and finished, to get on it again and experience it all over again in a reduced capacity.
 
I've said never again for most different types of drugs. But the funny thing is, there's this tiny part of my brain which says "never say never". Even for those that I've sworn off totally - I can't use the word "never" because I know I'd be kidding myself.

The point where I stop totally for an indefinite amount of time is probably close, but I can't say never because never is too much of an inflexible ideal.
 
I don't really mind what happens with relation to drug use in my life: I know this year I probably won't have time to take them because of an intense work/study schedule, but next year I might rock it again. Drugs aren't a significant enough part of my life that I'd think of it in terms of stopping... I'd probably just forget to do them anymore ;)

Props to you, ^Magenta^....that's really commendable.
And I know you of all people will pull it off. :D
 
Currently finishing up the last of my half ounce of pot and that will be that for this year. I'm looking at moving to Melbourne at the end of the New Year so finances have become priority at the moment.

The last 2 years I have gradually stopped the other drug use first it was the speed (it's now been 7 months) then the pills (had one on New Year before that it was early April) and finally the pot.

The Pot is what will kill me....... however it must be done. I have been smoking pretty much everyday for about 6 years now and my body is starting to plea with me for a break.

I don't think I'll ever say I won't touch them again I just feel like I'm entering a new phase at the moment and drugs are not a part of it.

Christopher :)

Good luck to anyone quiting anything.
 
WHOOPS!! Damn cookies, was still logged in as ^Magenta^.

I've been using drugs for over a third of my lifetime already, and I have no reason to suspect that it will ever stop. Yes I go stages where I wont touch anything for months on end, or not touch anything harder than pot, but I doubt it'll ever stop completely. Drugs make me who I am. They have been an intrical (to the point of being the most important) part of my life in recent years. Every single major decision in my life is made whilst on drugs. The insight and focus that can be gained whilst using drugs as an aide to meditation is incredible. It's just a pity that most people think drugs are for getting fucked up on.

Siany, why is it good enough for you and not good enough for your children? Not trying to sound critical (I'm honestly not trying to be critical), I'm just interested as to how your thinking around this has evolved and how it will work out for you. Me, personally, I don't think I could ever tell my child not to do something that I did (especially something I'm doing as an adult when I'm old enough to know better).

I'm going to raise my kids with education and guidence, not fear and terror. Lets see how it works :)
 
I haven't had anything since Earthcore, and I intend for it to stay that way.

I've completely lost interest in drugs, all apart from alcohol (I'm a Czech so I'd probably lose my dual-citizenship if I stopped drinking lol). That, combined with the negative side effects has killed any doubts I may have had about not using illicit substances.

It's just not something I want to do anymore.

As for my kids, I'll tell them all about my drug use, the good and the bad, as I have experienced it. Then I'll let them decide. I can't lie to them, and I can't be a hypocrite, so this is something which must be done, and it won't be easy.
 
Even tho I havent been hardcore into drugs, Ive have quite a few dabs here and there, but Im starting a new course in Feb, movint ot Melbourne around May/June and am seriously thinking my last rave party will be Twotribes 2004. I think I will just go with what ever life has planned for me, If I take I do if I dont I dont, I dont find much need for it at the moment as most of my friends are getting fukd up on them hardcore ( as they dont see they are) and I sit back and watch now, and they dont find anything happy or fun unless they are using.. Maybe I will go back into he rave seen and might use again, but I seriously dont think its all me anymore, I want my life to mean something....

Lahlah xoxoxox
 
Anfalicious, you have expressed my views about drugs almost exactly, with the exception of pot that i very rarely touch.

Nothing beats the natural high from life or meditation, but drugs have given me so much in their ability to cut through the dross that all too often muddies everyday life. Many a life changing decision has been made while on drugs, and to this date, not one decision I have made while chemically altered as served me wrong.

I think my overwhelming positive experiences have a lot to do with the way i take drugs, rarely do i take anything to get fucked up, and like Raz, I take drugs to enhance a situation or feeling.

To answer the question, i really doubt that i will ever stop taking drugs, although i know the reasons why i do will most certainly will. Drugs are becoming less and less of a 'release' or 'recipe for a great time' and more about using a chemical as a springboard for my thinking.

My drug use will stop when i have children (early years) and become very selective thereafter, as growing up with two alcoholic parents, i know only too well the impact of 'altered' parents. (And for the selfish reason of not missing out on a second of my child's childhood ! =D

Drugs are not "good" in my opinion. They have opened my eyes to many things, and changed my perception on alot of stuff... but I would hardly say they are "good for me". I have seen alot of peoples lives fkd up by drug abuse, and when I started using drugs I wasn't fully aware of the damage they could cause. Now that I am aware of this damage, I would prefer to keep it out of my future childrens lives if at all possible.

I understand that drugs will always be around and that any children I have are bound to be offered them at one stage or another. I don't want them to fear drugs as such, or tell them "No, you CAN'T use drugs".. rather, I want them to be educated enough to make their own decisions. If they choose to experiment with drugs, then so be it.. i'm not going to go off my rocker about it, because that would make me a hypocrite, but I do want to steer them away from drug usage & ensure they know the damage they can cause. I've had a very close friend of mine die from an overdose, and seen numerous friends of fuck their lives up from addiction, and it's caused me alot of pain... i'd rather not have to watch my children go through the same thing.
 
I find it interesting that you think drugs aren't good, yet you use them (I assume, being as you're on this site) and associate with people who do (same assumption). Once again, I am not being critical, just merely trying to understand your point of view (the downside to the internet, no inflection or tone). Why would you choose to surround yourself with something you don't like? I get this feeling from a lot of addicts (I hate the drugs but I can't stop), like a guy who robbed someone in Melbourne yesterday hugged the granny as he was leaving and said "sorry, it's the drugs". Now I am DEFINATELY not saying you're an addict or anything like that (like I said, I was assuming the drug use in the beginning), but do you feel that this attitude could lead to a dangerous denial?

Discuss :)

I couldn't agree more, you've described exactly the way I feel. I'm starting to cut back my use even before it got really bad. I haven't been using for long but have learnt an enormous amount in a short time which has been very hard on me and part of the reason. I can't say "never ever" because I'd like to use occasionally, but for now I have to control my intake and go back to feeling great natural highs.
 
Anafalicious:

I do associate with many people who use drugs, and I use them occasionally myself. I used to use alot more, but have tapered down my use at present simply for the reason that I feel they are not "good" (health-wise) for me. I never said I didn't LIKE drugs.. I can tell you straight out that I DO like them.. but I still stick by my view that they are not "good" for me. Perhaps the problem, is in my choice of words. How about I substitute the word "good" for "healthy"??

Like I said in my previous post, if I found out my children were experimenting with drugs I woudn't go off my rocker at them. I just hope that I can educate them enough to make wise decisions. I don't want to simply tell them "drugs are bad, don't use them"... rather let them know that sure, they might be fun, but if taken overboard can definitely cause grief.

So in conclusion, yes I do LIKE drugs, but I also believe they are not GOOD for me. Perhaps those two statements contradict each other & maybe my behaviour is hypocritical, but that's how it is. Each to their own I guess... but it is MY VIEW that drugs shouldn't be used around children.
 
I have no plans to give up drugs for now, even I have cutted down a bit since Xmas day, I was a late starter using chemicals in more regular basis, I started using chemicals when I was 24, just over a year now, but I have been using weed, and drinking since I was 16, and I only touched acid and whizz couple of times from when I was 16 to 23.... when I was 24 I was using pills and few other naughty products pretty heavy in 8 months, and since Xmas day I have kinda slowed down, and I am 25 now.

I can see myself using pot, grog, and occasionally using acid and peyotes as I get older... become a aged tripper hehehe..... but with other products, really cant see myself using them.
 
ive been pilling regulary for just over 2 years now (i pill say 2-3 times a month) and im starting to see the effects ... ive become moody, broke and have lost many friends because of it ... what hurt me the most is what my best friend of nearly 7 years said to me last night .... she said shes sad she never gets to see me like she used to (even tho we see eachother all the time) she said that when she does see me im always skattered/fucked/tired from the w/e ... and fuck that made me hurt .... shes the only person i love in the whole entire world and trust and even shes losing faith ... what she also pointed out to me (we had a big d&m last night) was that she just came back from a 6 week holiday and trvalled all over europe ... i was asked to come and i didnt .. tell u why ... cos i couldnt save for shit and all my money goes towards raves & pills ... ive decided to turn a new leaf this year .... cutting down the drugs and raves hardcore ... its time to grow up and become an adult ... ive been fuking round for too long and my body, mind and bank account are feeling the effects ... its time to move on ...
