I kicked all non-opiate pharmaceuticals, which has not been difficult at all (six weeks and counting). Now trying unsuccessfully (thus far) to quit opiates. Over the past year, my psychedelic use has increased tenfold, which I am very happy about. My aim is to eventually dose only with hallucinogens, yet after five years of heavy opiate use, I have much difficulty going cold turkey without relapsing.
 
Drugs i can quit easily
Alcohol ( was a frequent (sometimes everyday) drinking before turning 21), now i dont really drink much at all anymore, if i do decide do drink it is like one drink max
Benzos (did often for 2 years, did atleast2mg everyday around ~6-8 months at the end of the 2 year stint. but i rarely went over 3mg cuz of money reasons). now i usually have benzos on hand at all times cuz it makes me feel more "in control" of anxiety inducing situations, but i hardly ever use it. sometimes i will for recreation but i pass on xanax just about everyday, the days i do take some arent too often
tobacco (used to dip often daily for about ~6-8months, also on n off until a couple years ago. ive been tobacco free for the last 3 years or so
Caffine (i used to have a hard time giving up sodas n other sources but recently i have had no problem and tbh i only like soda in certain occasions anymore, i wont just get a coke when im thirsty ne more)
Ampthetamines (been on Amps since i was 10, used em daily until med-way through Highschool n i choose to only use em when really needed, now days i only use em maybe 3-4x a semester,s o i have no prob leaving those alone)

Drugs i Can NOT easily quit
Weed (all day everyday smoker for last 7 years)
Opioids (mostly OC but also use fent, morphine, HydroMorphone, n Hydrocodone when the price is right or cuz of connects)
Sugar/Sweetstried many times but im a fatty. N i love my candy/ice cream/cereal. you get the picture

yea im sure there might be other stuff but this is all i can think of right now
 
Cigarettes would be no problem, but I buy a pack once a month or less just to have the relaxing action of smoking without really getting intoxicated. If there was a compelling reason not to smoke (like living with someone or becoming an athlete) quitting would be easy-peezy.

I'm doing CBT to help reduce the need for Dexedrine and Celexa. I want to be off of them before I get into grad school, if I do. But, I'm such a drug nerd that I think of Dex as the perfect stimulant, so I need to make sure I'm mature enough not to need all-nighters anymore. I would not buy RX amps if not prescribed, though. I got spoiled by $10 copay for 0.6 grams of dexamp.

MJ I can go without for weeks at a time, but have massive problems not smoking on a day if I'm already in possession. I WILL quit when/if I have a child. Not just to be a better influence, but so legal issues or amotivation don't interrupt an income.
 
I'm planning to quit methamphetamine. I've been addicted hardcore for 2+ years and it has ruined me physically, mentally, financially, etc. I'm using less these days and hoping to get prescribed dextroamphetamine (I'm considered a "special case") to help with the cravings.

Benzos and nicotine are drugs that I can't really quit. I've been heavily dependant on benzos (clonazepam and now diazepam too) for 6 years, and I'm not yet prepared to start tapering off them. As for the nicotine, I'm not sure if I want to quit that either. I hate being hooked on cigarettes and spending so much money on them, but I gotta admit, I often do still enjoy having a smoke!
 
1: I have been able to quit every drug that ive intended to quit. Including tobacco. All cold turkey.

2: Weed. I dunno, i just feel like.. i need to get stoned now and then or ill go crazy.. being strait is just.. fucked. I dont think ill ever stop smoking, it provides me with benefits i cant find anywhere else. I can go on breaks no problem, its just the thought of NEVER getting stoned again, that really erks me.

Generally speaking though, i feel ive got a very.. nonaddictive personality. I mean, my mate who smokes then quits then smokes then quits(tobacco).. i told him, i BET i could fucking start smoking then quit and never smoke again. So, i started smoking - everyday. I would smoke 2-15 cigs a day. I did this for about 4 months, then i just said 'ok, time to quit' and never smoked again since.

used to be the way with me, then it caught up. I was doing Ocs to come off the speed. Then i figured i would have more money for ocs if i stopped doing speed and all the nasty effects of speed would cease. I was right. Except i caught an opiate habit, after i had been sober from opiates for like 3 years.
 
I truly believe I can quit ANY drug I want. Some are just harder than others.
Meth was hard to quit.
Tramadol is hard to give up cause I've been using it for years.
And weed is frustrating because I feel that it helps me more than any of my medications.
But I recently went clean for a stretch and made it alright. I just wasn't happy about it.
But at least I know I can do it.
 
I messed around with H, and totally stopped with no problem. I never IV'ed though, so i guess thats why it was easy.
I'll never stop smoking cig's, i enjoy smoking.
Alcohol i think i'll never stop, mainly because i don't abuse it and its socially accepted.
The only drug i really cant kick is coke. I could if i really wanted to, but that would involve quiting alcohol which is a huge trigger for my coke cravings. I enjoy both, and i think im a responsible user, so i'll continue the path i chosen.
 
im planning to quit smokes and weed and curently im tapering opiates for the second time was clean half a year then i was dependant once again :(

atm im at 5mg methadone a day and im planning on going off sometime next week, then im getting 20-30x 2mg clonazepam and maybe a sub or two if im going totally nuts, but i have to wait quite some time becourse of the methadone
 
I believe I can quit any drug once I really put my mind to it. In the past I have quit a daily oxycontin habit where I was using up to 320 mgs a day. I am currently addicted to suboxone and I am attempting to quit that. Also I am addicted to nicotine and even when I have quit doing everything else in the past, I still held on to my nicotine addiction.
 
Drugs i can/have quit easily is benzos, alcohol, stimulants.

drugs i can't quit are opiates. i have gotten clean before for short amount of times but never stays forever, today starts my 10th time stopping lets see how this goes, haha
 
I was never addicted to anything except opiates, and it's taken me close to 7 years to come this close to quitting. this close being 2-4mg of suboxone daily.

I drink and smoke weed too, but drinking isn't even an issue and I don't have any money or connects for weed, I only smoke that when someone I know has some and wants to smoke me up. the last time that happened was a week or two ago my sister rolled a joint for us, and before that was new years eve.

I wish I had connects for weed, cause I'd love to break out my bong again. weed has never been a problem for me as far as stopping goes.
 
For almost a year I've been a somewhat daily smoker of weed (my longest period without was a little over 3 weeks from the start of 2010 into the 3rd or 4th week of Jan). It hasn't been a problem to stop when I have to but I have easy access to weed it's pretty hard to not smoke it.

Cigs I always thought I would never have a problem with but then started smoking them alot from Sep-December. I have had the occasional cigarette here and there since but overall I've kicked the "habit" and been just a once in a while user.

Heroin- I haven't used in over a month, but I know if I had an endless supply and endless money I'd be a full fledged addict. I do think I can recreationally use it as long as I can't get it TOO easily. If it's somewhat of a hassle I won't kill myself to get it, but for now I have stayed away.

All other drugs I've done I haven't really had any problems with. I could definitely see myself getting a benzo habit if it was easily available, but E, coke/crack, psychadelics, alcohol, etc I have kept them all mostly in check.
