Does your social life revolve around drugs?

I think that what it comes down to is this: broke all the time and can't afford to do anything with friends... frustrated by being broke all the time and being unable to afford doing anything with friends... so frustrated by being broke all the time and being unable to do anything with friends, start doing drugs alone... so frustrated by being broke all the time and being unable to do anything with friends, start doing drugs with friends. haha

I can relate to this.
 
Definitely.
I wonder if I attract fellow drug users - back 'home' my friends an I would meet up, lots of alcohol then a weekend long binge on coke. Every time we met up resulted in drink + coke.
I moved 260 miles away - the 1st girl I got chatting to and friendly with was a heavy coke user. Every time we met same thing, drink + coke. My current best mate is a daily amp user like myself.
Now I think about it I have no friends at all who are non drug users.
 
For the mostly, I only have like 2 friends, and of ums my baby mama (so idk if that counts lol) but the other one is a drug friend. I have "school friends" who I won't see outside school unless its a coincedince (sp). And 99.9999% of the time I go anywhere or do anything (w/ anyone really) I'm on somethin. My drug friend though is a mix of both, we do drugs but we'll actually talk about serious shit and she's like my best friend. My baby mama knows I do drugs and don't care. I'll leave the room or whatever mostly and occasionally I'll do it in front of her. So yes and no basically. I guess innaway completely bcuz I don't leave the house unless I'm high, but I don't do drugs w/ ppl as a social activity, so in that regard, no. :/
 
I suppose we kind of stick with like minded people we have more in common with - not sayin people who don't share the same interests can't be friends, but that it's more likely you're gonna be closer to people on your level.
My Dad 'likes a drink' and every single one of his friends he met through the pub and also 'likes a drink'. My Mam has friends she knows through work, but her best mate shares her keep fit addiction. 1 of my brothers is a trained dancer and every single one of the people he socialises with is either a dancer or a gymnast etc. My other brother is a drinker like my Dad and only socialises when there's drinking to be done.
IMO you're naturally gonna get along easier with like minded folk - therefore if you enjoy using drugs, your most probably gonna have mates that do too. Drugs isn't the ONLY thing I have in common with mates - but I probably wouldn't be as close to them and see them as much if we didn't have our drug use in common aswell as other things.
 
I'm pretty much a loner I don't have much of a social
life what small part of a social life I do have id
have to say yes it definatlety revolves around drugs100%
 
Most of my friends have abandoned me since I've started using heroin....actually I'm the one who abandoned them but that's another thread altogether. I only hang with other users and everything we do pretty much revolves around drugs one way or the other.
 
All of my friends smoke weed and drink mostly, a few take the occasional psychedelic, but it's really not central to our friendship. I'm happy to say that my social life does not revolve around drugs. Me and my best friend will often go just drink coffee and play chess and so on and so forth. It's pretty cool.
 
It used to so much more than today, even though I used less drugs back then. Basically, before I spent a good portion of all my free time simply trying to find the drugs I was so desperate to use (mostly cannabis, but other elusive exotics as well), so my social life revolved around trying to find weed hook-ups and then sitting out however many hours were left of the evening smoking the fruits of our labour.

Nowadays with weed and psilocybin truffles being no more difficult or risky to procure than tobacco or alcohol, my social life is already considerably liberated. I also get most of my drugs from a very reliable dealer so it's much less of an issue. Most - not all, and this is in contrast to Finland - of my friends do use illicit drugs, but I don't say that my social life revolves around them. Drugs are very much involved in my daily social life - using them with others, meeting and connecting with others through shared drug experiences, etc. - but I would not say that is the axis on which my social life revolves. I use drugs just as much, if not more, in my anti-social life, so it's not as much using drugs socially as it is using drugs and then socializing.

A little hard to explain the fine nuances, but before I clearly felt my life did revolve around drugs, whereas now it does not, and I am glad - I connect with these people on other points than just drugs, and by lucky coincidence, they happen to enjoy many of the same drugs I do and are not judgmental. The drugs are decisive in some ways, though; the kinds of parties I go to, music I enjoy, and general values I uphold are much better reflected in the drug community than the legal intoxicant junkies.
