What was you drug of choice?

for me oxycotin 200mg-300mg every day for about a year or year and a half.

I don't have to wake up sick every morning and pop a pill or wake up in the middle of the night sick also I use to really go like 1-1 and half weeks without takeing a crap now I go everyday and feel good lol..
It's been a tough road guys and gals but I know I'll make..

My drug of choice was everything and anything. Mainly benzos, opiates and weed.

I think for me the biggest thing is actually being happy. Aside from that, being able to get behind the wheel of my car and drive somewhere when i need to rather than be stuck at home. Being able to look my family in the eye and not lie to them. Being able to hold down a job for longer than 6 months. I've been in the one job for 4 years now, i still dabbled a bit in my first year but was coming off, then actually getting promotions after I got clean.

Not letting people down again and again, not having people worry about me. Being myself, not a hidden behind a veil of drugs.

But again, being happy, enjoying life and being excited what the future has to offer me.

Turning towards exercise addiction

Feeling music again

Having more of a social life because when you have opiates you dont want/need care about sex,love/relationships.

Having money to be able to have a social life

Not having to worry about random drug tests at work

Yet after all of these reason i still choose the life of misery called addiction being in withdrawal every goddam fuking day wishing for death or the strength to beat it.

Having a career makes it a million times worse when trying to quit. I

If you have the time right now i suggest hitting recovery hard otherwise youll be slaving away at work to essentially be working for free wgen it all goes towards drugs.

Slave away at work>>>>>give all your money to your slave master (DOC) rinse and repeat until money cant keep up because of tolerance and shyt gets worse. Never progressing in life is brutal and the reality of it makes you use more.

My bad im rambling.

My drug of choice was heroin and crack. I had used for a year got clean relapsed and am currently trying to get off methadone by the end of the year.

My favorite part of being clean is discovering hobbies and interests along with being able to buy comforts and fun stuff. Because i had a job and all of those things I never really fully lost the respect of people or suddenly cleared my name but it is awesome to be able to pay bills give money to my mom for things i use to owe.

Its amazing because i dedicated everything to drugs beforehand and never realized the impact they had on my life. Sure i was into chemistry and science (my passions in life) but they were for all the wrong reasons. The only way to describe it is I have this in depth understanding of drugs due my abilities and its like i was looking down on a paper of only one thing and suddenly looked up and can apply my reasoning and understanding to the world people actually participate in. Its really hard to discribe but for example looking at circuit board i think if i really try i can understand how they work and make simple repairs and mods on basic electronic devises, rather then look at how a birch reduction can be used to make meth, something we did actually cover in organic chemistry.

I know understand the "allegory of the cave" as it relates to my life. Drugs being the images on the cave wall and whats outside being everything else. I know im stretching it but whatever.

Nothing, besides not having to worry whether I'm causing myself long term health problems.

Not letting down myself or my dad. Fulfilling my responsibilities. Not having to worry about getting caught.
