Do you ever plan to stop experimenting?

I can defiantely see myself getting tired with experimenting/abusing/being addicted to drugs. At the moment, that's not something I think I'm ready t dedicate myself to, but I can see it in the future. One big step is that I've really lowered my heroin use (and IV use) a lot in general, and I am getting quite sick of the high (blasphemy, I know).. Still though, I do have days where I just want to feel that perfect high again, but everytime I've copped, I've been ultimately let down. I think I'm just not into the sloppiness of heroin anymore, and much prefer Dextroamphetamine, or when I want to chill out, some alprazolam.

There are definately some drugs that I would like to try, especially ketamine and some RC's (6-apb, pentedrone, pyrazolam), but I think I can live without doing them.

I've done more drugs in the last two years than most people will do in a life time, so I'm pretty sattisfied (I no longer have that checklist to worry about, and my veins are at the point where shooting isnt fun or easy anymore). Right now I'm really more interested in just feeling normal and happy, but of course, I am always interested in psychoactive drugs.

Much legally safer than heroin in most instances, but that's not getting clean. I suppose you want to take this in steps.

I at this point have no idea what the future holds.
 
^oh yeah, in no way do I consider that being clean, but I believe sometimes you got to take things in steps. I've tried complete abstinence before, and lasted 9 months one time, and 5 the other. Perhaps I'm just not ready to quit drugs completely, but I feel like the 12 step program puts a bit too much emphasis on complete abstinence for me personally. I say this just because I feel like switching from shooting heroin to taking Dextroamphetamine once or twice a week is definately an improvement, and progress (unless you have a real problem with amphetamines as well.), but when I was involved with NA, I always felt like 'well, if I'm going to fuck up, I might as well go all the way', and I've managed to escape that black and white thinking.

For myself, getting clean completely from all drugs isn't as important as being happy, healthy and productive. That is my goal. Whether that can ultimately include drug use for me, well, that's something I'll have to find out myself.
 
The most days I've gone since starting to use drugs 4 years ago is 11 days. This does not count nicotine btw.

I am not even 21 yet though so I still have plenty of time to mellow out.
 
^Because its basically the same question. The only difference being your thread is asking people with substance dependency disorders, wheras the original thread is more general, applying to those of us with addictions, as well as those who expirament recreationally. I'm with you though, I wish I could live forever and get high too.
 
This thread reminds me of an old Cheech and Chong interview where the lady asked them if they're still experimenting with drugs, and Cheech said that they don't still experiment with drugs, they're past experimenting and know exactly what they're doing now:).

If you mean quit getting high, then no. Assuming I don't die by 33 like Jesus, a cure for mental illnesses is discovered, or find a dream girl who makes me happy enough to quit(except weed and psychedelics, that would be a deal breaker) I could see myself being a crazy old fart doing a bunch of drugs, with everyone wondering how the hell I'm still alive. There's some old addicts, some using since the 50's and 60's.

If you mean quit trying new substances, no, I'd like to try as many different drugs as possible in my lifetime. A bit like some like to try different wines and beers.

The way I see it, we are all going to die. I don't believe in an afterlife. I think this is it. I feel everyone should enjoy life and be kind to others, because you and everyone else will eventually no long exist. Sobriety is boring. I would rather die by my 60's living life to the fullest than live a boring life till 100. Although that belief may change if I make it to 50, or a radical change happens in my life that gives me a reason to go on the straight path.

I could see myself using less drugs less often, but only if I had a kid where buying drugs with a strained budget would take food out of their mouth and lower their quality of life.

I stopped experimenting a while ago, now it's a straight out addiction.

i think that about sums me up too

i realized what i liked and didn't, now i just abuse those.

i really tried with RC's... i really did. but they were all a load of shit.

i do like mixing drugs though, even though its stupid and dangerous, its so damn fun, its almost addictive to think about which i can mix next
 
I feel I'm pretty much finnished experimenting, pretty much done it all - and why should I want to do it all over - with more combinations what is there to gain? Now however, I do the drugs I like and thats it. Quite a few, and I have learned the combinations that are cool and whats not. I feel I can safely pass the ball to other people now :D

What more is there to see, I do miss some k-holing and MXE kombinations on lower dosages at the tail if any. But in reality - experimenting is over. I would also say that your brain becomes a little mellow over time - can't handle the punches that good anymore... Or I just got chicken after my bad trip - sounds pretty reasonable :)
 
Right now I'm in that annoying middle ground where I've tried mostly everything, but drugs still hold my attention and interest. I'm trying to settle down certainly with things like psychedelics and stimulants, but I don't think I have any serious issues to worry about right now. Growing up and starting to really take responsibility for yourself just blows major ass sometimes.
 
No.

I don't want to and will never completely stop doing drugs. I had ups and downs - more downs than ups - but I'm getting better with age at staying out of trouble and controlling my intake.

And the alternative, to try and ''enjoy'' myself and others sober, to go to a party without booze and pot and/or a little coke, is unthinkable. I hate the society we live in and need to anesthetize myself periodically.

I take it day by day.

I'm going back to school after a 2 year break so that I can eventually, hopefully, land a grown-up job. If I can keep my life in check until I'm done with that, I have confidence in myself. I don't feel as down on myself when I'm in the process of achievement. Staying busy is the name of my game I guess you could say.

Yeah, I have no idea what I was saying in this post.

To answer the actual question, I'm pretty much done experimenting. I may yet try a new drug or two, but I'm not seeking any out. Nor am I eager to try new combos or push limits any more. I've got my standbys and they're good ones. :)
