I thought that 'junkie' refered to anyone who was hooked on drugs and used every day. Is it only 'opiate' users who are considered junkies? Can't a tweaker also be a junkie?

I consider myself a junkie because I'm an addict and I will use just about any drug that produces euphoria, that I don't have to shoot.
 
at least you motherfuckers have computers. i guess its good i see junkies and not crackheads. i never met a crackhead that impressed me.

i been around drugs and using 'em for years, abused every category of drugs except for the rarest. i am proud to say i am a weed addict, and nothing more.

edit* junkie = opiates. unless you run around looking for your next fix to cure the sickness, you're just a plain ol' addict
 
hahaah yes ill admit that i too am a garbage head. there was a joke about me in rehab taht i was addicted to dirt (that is to say if dirt got me high i would eat it:)

yes junkie these days tends to just mean opie head. thats the only way i have ever heard it referenced. and though opies have caused me more problems than any other thing in existence, i still enjoy benzodiazepines the best but i actualy do take them as prescribed and STILL get a buzz after ten years of daily use!!! wee hee!!! i fuckin love benzodiazepines.

Junkie reporting in.

IV heroin ftw.


LOL... I can't help but laugh whenever I see someone whose username is "ClubbinGuido" (funny enough on its own!) talk about administering IV diesel. One a very superficial level, I would never associate a "clubbin guido" with intravenous heroin use (and having spent most of my life in northern NJ, believe me, I know plenty of legitimate guidos)... The two just don't seem to go together very well.

Then again, I used heroin for years, all the while socializing and attending huge house/techno parties both in the States and in Europe... So I really shouldn't be all that surprised.
 
Junkie, although I was cured in 1995 via rehab..clean from drugs & alcohol for over 15 years, with the exception of weed which was my only vice..I mean who considers smoking pot being a junkie for 15 years (consumption less than 1 oz a year), but if you got to choose a catagory, that would be it...relapsed back to opies 1.5 years ago and still at it..although this time does not include the needles and alcohol....strictly pharms

You best believe they do.



Mr Blonde mentioned how alcohol would be the last thing he would choose. That inspires me to place all of the classifications/options in order:

1. junkie (pseudo-currently... I'm on suboxone now)
2. GABAergic jockie (currently)
3. alcoholic
4. coke-fiend
5. crack-fiend
6. tweaker

That is the order of addiction (for the first two), and after that, the order that I would call myself any of those titles, based on the frequency of use - how often I still use the item in question (if I still do), how long its been since the last time used it, and how much I used it in the past.

ok let me do the same

1-a tie for gaba and junkie. i can not separate these 2 no matter HOW hard i try. i just cant have one without another. and though i realize that i enjoy benzos mnore than opies, opies have caused more of a hardcore addiction and problems with me. so they are definatly tied since ive been using both dailey for ten years.

2-alcohol (which is gaba) so that would have to be tied with tweaker. though i ve only actualy done meth maybe 10 times total over the course of five years, about a gram-2 grams to myself per session, it is the MOST AMAZING "DRUG" ive ever encountered, as well as mdma, its pretty close, and 350 mg ritilan comes pretty close as well

3-i fucking HATE coke

4-i fucking hate crack worse than i hate coke
 
Bullshit
you wanna IV some hydros?
or tell the people who get wasted off half a lortab or perk that they are wasting their time and money? just cause youve elevated your addiction to that level does not mean oral opiates are a waste.
hahah sorry i didnt mean to sound rude i was just politely disagreeing. :) peace key
 
Love my Opiates (pills) Codeine/DHC
Hate the price but Love coke
Like my benzo's
Occasional Pod Tea- Good on coke comedowns
 
Hmm not really sure .. im one of the prescribed people but not addicted to the feeling or the high considering i barley get any of either anymore .. but the dependance is there so if anyone wants to get technical then i could be still classified as a functioning junkie ? maybe .. not sure

but i used to be deep into cocaine .. all the time everyday 24/7 for about 7 months , more if i count all the chipping i did up until the daily use , until i quit . been clean 1 year and change.
 
originally a opiate dependent person for pain due to a horrific military accident while on active duty in Afghanistan over-seas..

the true addictive behavior and thinking didn't start until much later on in the military.. and after being practically force fed narcotics in order to 'just' do basic daily work during this god awful war.. and the narcotics did exactly what they were supposed to over there.. numb myself 24 hours a day..

It wasn't until I returned home that I found myself lost and wondering how to deal with life and how to find a way to deal with the emotional, mental and physical pains from the war..

it wasn't until that time, that I started eatting every narcotic known to man without a care for morals, family, friends and everything else that prior meant anything to me..
and today I am spending everyday trying to make up for that period in my life and trying to deal with life on life's terms.. not my own terms..

1.) Pain Meds
2.) Hooked
3.) More Pain Meds
4.) Heroin
5.) Liar, Thief, POS, Worthless Asshole Junkie
6.) Suboxone
7.) Back to a Normal, Meaninful, Healthy, Positive life.. and chalking up the old lifestyle as one hell of a shitty learning experience..

4. Crack fiend
5. Tweaker
6. Alcoholic
 
I guess i'd be a tweaker. The feeling of an IV shot of meth is just amazing, nothing has compared to it for me so far (I have steered away from H tho, I think that would just be TOO good). Dont mind a bit of benzo action either too.
