The idea of being "CLEAN" - How do you define it? (Poll, but please reply too!)
A discussion in another forum made me really think about this, and I want to know how others feel about it. This is a poll but please add your thoughts in a post after you vote, and if you click "other" PLEASE reply with your feelings about it since other can mean anything its up to you to tell us how you feel.
this aint the official kind of poll, becuz the options only allow a small amount of characters and it would be too hard to explain each option in a actual voting-style poll, so Ima just list the options here and please choose the one that sounds most like your attitude towards "being clean." When you vote, list the option that you agree with the most in your reply but ALSO, PLEASE elaborate on your feelings and describe wat you consider 'clean' to be.
POLL OPTIONS:
#1 - Clean is: NO DRUGS AT ALL, OF ANY KIND. No using any drug, regardless of if its one you are addicted to. No Methadone or Suboxone, no psychiatric meds even if they are prescribed to you, no medications, prescriptions, or drugs of ANY KIND, and NO DRINKING EITHER.
#2 - Clean is: You are off the drug(s) that you were addicted to, and you dont use or abuse any other drugs recreationally. Psych meds and Methadone or Suboxone (Maintenance medications) are OK. Prescribed meds, as long as you ONLY USE THEM AS PRESCRIBED AND DO NOT ABUSE THEM.
#3 - Clean is: You are off the drug(s) that you were addicted to, and not abusing any drugs. Some smoking weed is OK, a little drinking is OK, as long as you aint overdoing it and are using it healthily and in moderation. Taking prescribed drugs AS PRESCRIBED, not abusing any drugs, and being on Methadone or Suboxone or any psych meds are OK.
#4 - Anything that aint listed here. Please let us know specifically how you feel in your reply, since there is so many more options than we have here, I just didnt want to make it too complicated.
I realized that many people got different feelings of exactly how a person got to be living for them to consider them 'clean' , and I want to hear the different opinions that yall got. I know some people feel like as long as you get off the heroin or coke or w/ever, you are clean as long as you only smoke some weed here and there or etc. Some people feel that even being on Methadone makes you not be 'clean', and other people got much more liberal definitions of clean. So please share how u feel about it and let us know, this is a very interesting topic to me and I think many addicts would also like the chance to put their 2 cents in.
