What drug made you were addicted?

Im addicted to weed, not physically but more psychologically. I just love the habit of sitting down, turning on music, and tuning out. Hard to quit cause as someone said it does feel like there is a void to be filled. I feel my weed addiction is similar to a (my) cigarette addiction.

However this has led me to try other drugs to tune out, cause with weed its just not the same anymore. Most of my friends are gone from my college and now its usually just me blazing. I came up on 180 1mg ativan and 60 10mg Opana IR, literally fell into my lap. Going on an ativan binge for like a week and trying to just stop, i noticed social withdrawl and feeling empty.

The opana however, holy shit. I have to be careful with this shit. Its nice to be able to totally KO if i want, ( i sleep shitty) but personally i feel really wierd coming off one dose it scares me. Like ill get a headache and depressed. Im like whoa that shit is calling me, so im trying to limit to every other week with that if i want to get oxy'd out.

So yea with these other drugs i find if i limit to once every other week, at least, hopefully i can keep the demons away. If it gets to bad ill have to flush these pills as bad as it sounds lol
 
it wasn't necessarily the start of it all (and i still enjoy it) but alcohol is the substance that showed me i got issues to work out. this is funny to me now 'cause i didn't start drinking regularly until after i stopped doing psychedelics regularly. it should have been the other way around
 
I don't get why people keep saying maryjane, it really has no withdrawls, even psycologically it sucks and is boring when you don't have it, but it's really not a real addiction.

Alcohol was the first thing I got withdrawls from around 16, started having serious shakes and mini seziures. That was really the first.

Coke has crazy cravings, it's just so expensive sometimes the money issue really kills the addiction potential.
 
I've been using drugs since I was 12 or 13... I've abused pretty much everything, but it wasn't until I got into meth that I experienced true addiction.

don't underestimate maryjane's strength!
I've been dependent to other heavier substances in the past, and i still think that quitting pot is just as hard to achieve as anything else.
you may not get strong withdrawal symptoms but there's still a crap load of psychological attachments present when you have been smoking for a long time.
 
I started drinking and smoking around 12-13, the weed was easy on me, I mean no withdrawls, I could wait a few days maybe a couple weeks but when I had drank for literally 3-4 months straight around 16 and stopped, holy shit, those shakes and seizures were so fucked up, there was no question that needed some liquor, and that's when I started stealing. Kinda started the whole addiction thing.

The psycological element can be changed, but seizures and shakes can't. I never have trouble with weed, even after smoking for 6 months, I wanted more yeah, but it really wasn't physcially painful or anything, I could always wait.
 
The first drug i became truely addicted to and the one that nearly ruined my life was alcohol. Before that i was mostly just into smoking alot of weed and taking shrooms and stuff which i don't consider a problem at all. I used to do benzos and opiate pills every now and then like valium, various codeine pills, demerol, oxycodone and a few others i can't think of offhand but they where never a problem. It was not until i became a alcoholic that i truely understood the word addiction. Thank christ ive kicked that one for a long time now.
 
Alcohol really is fiercely physically addictive, compared to weed, shrooms, lsd. I abosultely hate when people talk of weed being a gateway drug to addiction, when it's not even physcially addictive, even caffeine has way more withdrawls, it should really be the gateway drug, then alcohol, never weed.

It's kind of obvious why the addictive drugs are legal, alcohol caffeine, benzos, opiates. MONEY.
 
yeah i never really agreed with the whole "weed is a gateway drug" thing.
alcohol is way more of a gateway drug than weed..
alcohol basically introduced me to weed !!
i agree with you on the fact that its a severely life altering substance, especially compared to marijuana, but mj still is a motherfucker to give up, and a psychological addiction is still an addiction!
 
Cocaine use at age fifteen definitely sparked something in me that made me realize my life was never going to be the same. From there it progressed to meth, and eventually to opiates. Honestly, nothing has been as willing to beat me into submission as opiates. Painkillers were undoubtedly the drug(s) that made me realize the extent of my addiction. Although, TBPF meth had far more negative consequences on my life. I had been heavily addicted to meth before, but honestly meth was self-abuse for me. With that said, I didn't always crave it. The addiction to meth was certainly there, but it was nothing in comparison to what I would experience with opiates.

the drugs ive had the worst addiction problems with is benzos and opiates. benzos i had problems with on and off for years but have always been able to stop or taper usage to stop. opiates were the worst for me. i started doing 15 mg a day and 6 months later i was doing at least 400 mg a day. the physical w/ds from opiates is the worst they totally changed who i was all i cared about was maintaining my addiction
 
for me..drinking has been the worst i still have not quite and ontop of that i got myself into another weird addiction MDMA...as much as the comedowns suck i juss seem to keep on doing it a few times a week just for those few moments of happiness i feel like i cant be happy without it ands starting to take a huge toll on my mind..i cant sleep i get brain zaps and for that i need to drink to sleep which has made my drinking problem even worse..i have no clue how im going to fix this:(
 
I've been physically addicted to everything at one point or another. At the end of the day, quitting weed and alcohol has been the most difficult by far.
 
I already posted earlier but after thinking about it I'm going to say Alcohol and Dexedrine, I was already getting drunk everynight when I was introduced to dexedrine. This fucked things up exponentially because it allowed me to drink twice as much and not feel sloppy drunk. This was where I went from recreational drug user to addict, it's the point where friends started looking at me differently and I really fucked myself up for awhile.
 
Never was addicted to weed or alcohol. I havent drank alcohol in over 7 years. I toke weed maybe twice a year, I dont fond it entertaining like I use to when I was in my early 20's. I was wanting MDMA all the time for about a year & that was back in 1998. Alcohol is the worst drug imo. I had several close calls where I could have killed others & myself while DUI. Luckily I didnt crash or get caught for DUI. I think alcohol can cause the most damagein someones life.

Only thing I take is prescribed Vicodin for my back pain. Other than that & my gf, nothing excites me.

I don't know what you talking about, it kills all my anxiety. I have anxiety problems so that's why opiates are the most addictive thing to me. They are the perfect escape.

I agree 100% I dont understand how he can say opiates dont mellow out his anxiety. I think opiates are a great escape from anxiety & depression.

Of course you can have pshycological dependence on weed.

You must have been drinking some serious alcohol to get to the part where you have seizures if you dont have your drink. Only people I ever saw get like that were people that drank for over 20 years constantly.

Back in college, I hung around with a guy that sold coke to put himself threw college & I could have done as much coke I wanted for free, he use to get alot of coke & have coke parties but the 5 times I did coke, I never liked it, in fact I hated coke more than any other drug I ever did, including alcohol. The good part was the coke parties attracted some of the hottest chicks at the college, girls would do anything for nose whisky.
