Years ago I was addicted kinda to GBL, I took it for 2 to 4 weeks straight then realized once the euphoria was gone I should stop and I threw the rest of what I had away. Had 0 cravings and no of withdrawal symtoms, I was also somewhat of an alcoholic then not a heavy one as I was 8 months ago but I'm not now. Is it safe for me to try GBL again giving my last use? I don't know if I was an addict as I had no problems quitting it so I don't consider myself a true addict, but it's best to ask first.
Was I a GBL addict? Or did I simply have a long term use and got over it, it was nothing compared to my drinking. Once I noticed I was taking G to much I stopped with no side effects. Making me thing I wasn't a true addict...
And what are the chances the euphoria will come back, last time I took cough syrup with DXM in it to get it back. Worked for a day..

it sounds like you have an addictive personality if you are on this forum, took gbl for 2-4 weeks straight and were something of an alcoholic.

can't really speculate if euphoria will come back. ultimately its up to you whether you want to use a drug, to me it sounds like you have already convinced yourself that its ok.

just try to space out your use so that isn't something you do every day. i don't know what your life looked like when you were 'addicted kinda' to gbl, so i can't comment on whether this is a particularly bad idea or not.

i think its worth reflecting back on that time in your life and seeing if its something you willing to bring back into existence.
 
Basically I was self-medicating with benzos and drink and really any drug which thankfully I'm on proper meds now, and stimulant clean. I do have an addictive personality, maybe due the news meds causing anxiety as a side effect is why I take kratom each day, as without the meds on my dose I was fine. Something I don't plan to do with GBL as you said I plan to space it out.
As for bringing back GBL into my life, not on it's own then no back then was a horrible time. But that was due to my mental state and a lot of other factors, the GBL experiance wasn't really bad just a habit which thankfully I'm more mature and sensible now.
Basically my question is was I a true addict, or was it something that got out of hand and thats all.
