Using drugs after being a addict? Possible?

[xxsicknessxx]

I have exp every single WD there is. From RC/Street/Legal drugs to everything else. I have done it, abused it, I have controlled it and lost control depending on the time of my life.

After 9 years of abuse. I worked most this time and had a life, maybe 1 year total I was out of control. Most of that was linked to my bad health from a sugary I had when combined with drug abuse just was to much for my body. Anyways.

How hard would it be to using my vast information on all drugs of addiction, of what I can take and what is to much of how I can take any drug I want so long as I don't do it so often as to get addicted... what if I take the info and start buying RC's again and start getting high again.

So long as I stick to my rules and not do it to many days in a row, and measure out my RC's and just be super careful is it possible im past addiction? Really most the time I got addicted from a lack of knowledge on the subject. Now that I have so much exp I have sense used drugs I had problems with before and not gotten hooked. Am I ready to try stronger drugs? Rcs? again? Is it possible. I can't tell if im tricking my self or not

Sounds to me like you are trying to justify further drug abuse. Nobody can accurately predict what you are going to do if you use whatever type of drugs, even you cannot predict this. The only way that you can guarantee you have no further problems with drugs is not to use drugs again . Are you ready to try stronger drugs ? Who knows ? Maybe you should ask yourself if you are ready to overdose, go to jail, or lose whatever you may have.

Threads like this come up all the time. The long and short ot it is if you have a problem with abusing every substance you get your hands on, you will continue that abuse in future. Barring a major change in scenery and mental state from your previous "using days", the answer is no.

My thoughts on this? I have been addicted to both cocaine and heroin, mostly H, for many many years. Now I am off both but sometimes smoke meth. I guess that I figure that because I have the disease of addiction and addiction is progressive, somewhere down the line I will lose control if I keep using. It may take a week, it may take ten years. But it *will* happen if I keep on using. Unless I stop and arrest the disease.

Your disease is ever so more cunning and powerful than you are. Trust.

^ i agree..and when i post in these types of threads someone inevitably replies that im giving bad advice, its not black and white and for some people it is possible..so in a literal sense sure, anything is possible, some people could go back to controlled/recreational use..but it just seems highly unlikely and a pretty big risk.

I'm the same alway looking for excuses to start a new addiction, convincing myself in some way it will be different or I won't use it more than once in a while.

I think you should look at it more in the way of "Can I handle having another drug habit" ...."do I want that in my life" the answer may be yes in which case your goof to go its not for me to judge you or the many like us.

If you don't want a habit and don't have one at the moment then leave well alone...just my 2c's

I think the funniest thing about this situation is how you don't seem to think constantly doing different drugs is in itself an addiction. Just because you're not going through withdrawals from a specific drug, doesn't mean you're not addicted. You can just as well be addicted to getting high, as oppose to getting high on one particular drug.

Your addiction is like a snake, coiled in your gut, waiting. At any given moment it can rear up and strike. If you think that you can ever get rid of the snake, I am telling you it is just not possible. I have personally known people that had 20-30 years sober that started to think that one drink couldn't hurt. It has been a long time, and, after all, it IS the weekend! Tuesday morning comes and they are walking out of a crack house, wondering wtf happened.

You state that you lost control before because of a lack of knowledge on the subject. It makes more sense to me that now that you know more about it, you would run like hell in the opposite direction!

Sure it is "possible" for you to use without losing control just like it is possible that I might die of a shark attack!

So, please try and refrain, I urge you, but somehow I have a bad feeling about this one. But, I guess it is "possible" that you won't go score those RC's... :-(

Best of luck, k?

Well I should add. I have not been addicted too all drugs or all classes of drugs.
I used downers with no problem quit when ever I wanted even with withdraw I did not feel a need to use
I used hallution drugs with out getting addicted and quit with out any withdraw at all even with heavy use
I used most stims with no addicted beside MDPV which was stronger then I was. But ritilin, meth, addral I took and abused for long periods of time with getting addicted or craving reuse.
Opiets were very addicting I had a problem with them mostly due to the confusion I had when taking them. I had a sugary I have pain when I take the pills I have less problems from the surgary and less pain and I feel so much better (I never abused to nod off and sleep) I took to function and becasue they let me live a more normal life. I Can take them and funtion though I will admit once I start I have to at least keep taking them to avoid withdraw in which I will crave more. I take suboxon at the moment but at times I got by with a few norcos a day and did just as well or a couple of ox. I did over due opiets a few times but that was more from my lack of information on addiction.
I did have a addiction to booze. Though I drank for 8years with no problem quiting and no addiction in the last year I somehow got addicted and would crave it to stop the withdraw witch was more then I could handle. It was the worst by far from any drug every and I have exp almost every withdraw there is.

In short. I agree this could be my mind tricking me. But I feel like if I reintroduce a few choice drugs of different drug classes and mix them correctly and use them responsibly and follow set rules and stick to them (this has worked for me in the past for long periods of times years even) I think I can do it. However I think I should wait awhile before I try. Im only 7months sober and maybe the desire will go away in time.
I will add that I think that if I simply ignore the fact that I really crave some drugs and that some drugs may in fact give me a advantage and help me in my daily life that at some point I will either crack and start reusing uncontroably or that I will simply be unhappy and never enjoy my life.

Not saying anything for sure and thanks for the info. I manage to take sleeping pills once a week with out feeling the need for more or wanting to over use them. I think I could manage meth thats one drug I never got addicted to at all or craved. Maybe stay away from opiets and vodka for along time though. They are pit falls for me for sure. But shrooming or weed once in awhile. A benzo once in awhile. I dunno.. a RC here or there...

I guess I have to really think about this. Thank you. This thread can be closed. I think I knew all this already and just am looking for someone to support a idea I decided on already. I will give it at least 1 whole year sober before I try.

I think it is possible if you are in earlier stages. If you have fallen, gotten back up, and fallen again and so on, then it's very unlikely you'll ever stop falling back in to an addiction.

If you keep taking a wrong turn, best just not to drive at all.

Best of luck to you.

 

[HelpJDplease]

Its really hard to know what you really want advice on. I would be curious as to which drugs you think will "give me a advantage and help me in my daily life." I have yet to find it. If you can fight the cravings, you are best suited using your experiences on so many drugs to help others avoid the pains of addiction, as it takes a tough son of a bitch to endure withdrawl over and over and over. Be proud of that.

I'm sorry, man, and I don't mean for this to offend you, but your way of thinking is absolutely ridiculous and that's the only word for it. You ask, "Am I ready to try stronger drugs?" But you tell us that you've already abused all the drugs you could get your hands on, and that you've "lost control." So no... no you're not ready to try stronger drugs. You're an addict, and there's no amount of experience, education, or changes to your behavior that can prevent you from becoming what you've already become, what you already are...

I have nothing more to say, really. I'm shocked...

This sounds like addiction talking. That's the problem with addiction, it's mental and physical. The addict's brain works against the addict. It will lead the addict to believe he or she has more control than they really do. Sure, a former addict can use again without relapsing into full-blown addiction but the chance is there and the odds aren't good. Even a short period of use followed by a stoppage can do more harm than good. It just reinforces the idea that the addict can control their use and encourages further use. If you've had trouble with dependency in the past, the deck is stacked against you in terms of future usage...

The answer to this riddle is to find a middle man/woman to handle your abusable pills/medications that are prescribed to you. I would not recommend, after going through the hell of alcohol dependency, to try anything like that if you have abusable meds that really do benefit you as prescribed. I went through a very tough time in my life, with lots of self medicating, and it left an addictive scar on my life. So now, my Mother controls my Vyvanse,(Shire's less abusable(lol) adderall replacement). I see her once a day as she works at my college, and hopefully with therapy and a motivated life will be able to turn it around. After all, I have been 10 months sober, and am quite proud of it and have seen the benefits in plain sight.
