Stimulants Thoughts around all this.

tricomb put it perfectly. This drug isn't a good match for you. Individuals who can stay awake for two days straight without amphetamines do not need to be taking amphetamines.
 
He's not a boyfriend, no. Just a friend. I'm a guy as well, and not into other guys, hehe.

It's not like he's pressuring me... It's hard to explain. I usually go to parties there (he throws parties at his house every weekend) and he comes to me with "so, you want one? One wouldn't hurt. Come on." And I'm fully capable of saying no. But my brain just stops thinking for a moment, and I go with it... That's why I can't be around him like that, because I have a hard time saying no. I'm not the one to seek it out, he comes to me with it when I'm there.
 
"one wouldn't hurt, come on" that's pressure bro.

Don't give in man, you doing crystal doesn't make your friend like you any more, and it doesn't do him any good wasting crystal on you!

Like I said earlier, most people begin their addictions in ways like this. They don't seek it out, but they knowingly put themselves in circumstances where they know they will be offered it, or it will be around.
 
Yeah... Hence why I'm asking for guidance here. I know that I will get offered if I go there... so I guess it's not far from actually seeking it out myself. I don't have an addictive personality, I just do stuff whenever I feel like it. But I don't know... What I do know, though, is that I won't be doing more of this. Because I don't think it's hella fun to stay up for 3-4 days straight.
 
tell him to keep it away from you and don't put yourself in situations where you know your going to be exposed to it...that will mean redefining your friendship, or possibly even losing it. dont rely on him to keep it away from you, its up to you to stay away from those situations..that kinda sucks but the more you use it with him the harder it will be to separate your friendship from the drug use and the habits that go along with all that.
 
Yeah, I'm gonna have a word with him. I'm gonna be clear about it, that I don't want it, be a part of it, or see any of it. He's just gonna have to respect that.

The only drug I'm really addicted to is caffeine. I drink alot of it. I want to keep it that way.
 
Its a complicated as fuck issue to discuss, have you probably done some sort of long term change to your brain? Yes, but will it mean anything in the big picture? Probably not, don't abuse amphetamines though things get really nasty with frequent usage.

I've got some threads over in ADD that discuss the topic in depth.
 
I've done speed 5-6 times spread out over 2 years... I really do hope that I haven't caused some irreversible damage though, because that would be such a waste on my part.

The number of Ph.D's I know who go on ultra-productive semi-binges is astounding, a giant portion of the "meth brain damage" stereotype is due to the lifestyle that comes with it. Its a wise decision not to use amphetamines for recreation, but so long as you don't use again you should be fine.
 
Well, I'm making it easy. Gonna tell him that if he wants to continue as friends, I do not want to be a part of his use. So, either he has to hide him using it, or stop. Either way I don't want to see or hear about it. I'm never touching it again though, that's for sure. :)
