Disclaimer: I did a quick search and didn't find a similar thread, but if this has been asked before then I apologize.

This is aimed at people who have been using (almost) daily for a fairly long period of time. Few people become daily users from the get-go, it's usually not something that happens overnight. When did YOU start using daily or almost daily? Was it associated with some event, was it a gradual change or a response to something that had happened and you never went back?

For me personally it was rather gradual. I don't even really remember or can pinpoint when it happened, I just started drinking beer in the evening more and more often a few years ago. And since then it became default for me to want to get high in the evening; luckily I have no such cravings during the day. Of course there have been periods of seldom usage and some binges, but recently I returned to the usual schedule.

Appreciate your input.
 
When I "grew up" a couple years back and started holding consistent full time gigs. it was (is) beer or weed or opiates or benzos every day. If not one then another. Usually cigs too for potentiating

Still going strong on that streak, guess I can't handle adulthood without my crutches.
 
Ya me too, but I drank daily in high school(took valium a few nights outta the week also) at night pretty much, then started chipping with pain pills in HS but didn't start using daily or pretty much daily till 19, started with Lortab/Lorcet/some Methadone, then Poppy Pods, then sober a bit and miserable, then stated gettin back into lortabs, then back to poppy pods, then Roxi 30's/any opiate I could get, then Suboxone. I skipped the part where I was using like an 12-15 tablespoons of bali kratom a day when the site I used ran outta pods all the sudden when they never did before, took me a second(bout a week) to feel normal on that, was using pills with that too also but not as much. With benzo's I don't use daily but came pretty close at a point and usually do go two week on them, maybe a little over then take gabapentin usually when I have no benzo's around. I smoked weed daily from 18-24. This is from ages 15-27...but 17 is when it was daily for booze, 18 for weed, 19 for opiates..
 
It slowly crept up on me throughout 4 years... I don't really know when I became a daily user. I guess to answer the "how" part, I had a coworker who was prescribed oxy 20s and we would go snort them in the back room every day... Then it eventually progressed to my ex-boyfriend and I actually shooting them instead, and yeah its hard not to use the needle every day once it grows on you.
 
I was in a shitty marriage, couldn't smoke weed anymore (cause of her, and it made me paranoid). Discovered poppy seed tea, pretty quickly became a daily thing. Moved onto pod tea, used every day for 6+ years.

I don't remember exactly when it became a daily thing. I do remember first time I went through withdrawal.

Yes Papaveriuam know what ya mean about the neeedle...wish I never tried it! I already loved opiates and someone had diladidid and we all know what they say...but I didn't use it everyday after that at all, I was snorting the 30's, but quickly progressed into shooting.

Totally... I definitely have a love/hate relationship with the needle. It was when my ex and I found heroin. Its a very rare drug to find where I live, it's mostly prescriptions here. So after that we were seeking it all the time and ended up realizing that Dilaudid was way cheaper and easier to get. So I became a dilly addict.
 
Daily cannabis and tobacco use without a single day off it from age 15 - 37 (present day), Used LSD daily for about 4 weeks and then kept it to weekends only at 15 - 17 yrs old, Crank/meth was more on than off from the age 17 - 28 yrs old - Longest consistent daily use was 9 months and 3 weeks, with a 3 week break and then another 9 months all day everyday use until I quit on my 28th birthday and never used again. Oxycodone was daily use from the very beginning 18months ago until present day - Using for pain primarily but I'm an addict so the addicts mind has taken over again and reduced me to junkie status after being clean of hard drugs for 9 years.

Except for oxycodone every drug I choose to take I always choose to deal at the same time as this seems to be the only way to make sure I never run out. If I cannot grow it and/or perform extractions or synthesise it because for whatever reason I cannot find a source for bulk quality of any said drug then I do not go beyond trying it a few times because being an addict with an addictive personality I know that it would not be cost effective and infringe on my way of life financially if I cannot have it in bulk amounts. I'm actually primarily addicted to dealing drugs even though I am currently in recovery from that life but If I'm seeing a shrink to help with drug problems I am primarily seeing them to work through my addiction to fast/big money by way of drug dealing illicit substances. I've been a dealer for as long as I have been a user But the only drugs that I have used daily are:

Cannabis
Tobacco
LSD
Psilocybe mushrooms (For ritual spiritual use, was only the first 2 times as a kid did I use it in a social/party with mates setting until I realised how best to use it for me)
Hormones : Testosterone, Nandrolone, Dianabol and Stanozolol (Daily use of Test/Deca for a 2-3year period with a few cycles either side of that run, over about 6 years all up)
Amphetamines incl. MDMA, MDA
Oxycodone

Drugs I have tried many times but never went beyond say a week or two of daily use...

Heroin (3 times)
Cocaine (About 30 binges with it mixed into my amphetamine cocktails)
DMT/Changa (once I could extract it and produce rocks and/or make Changa I would trip semi regularly, daily for a week or two but not enough to list it as a daily drug)
Mescaline (handful of times)
Ayahuasca (separated from DMT use as listed above due to its two part make up ((Caapi Vine the MAOI part, Psychotria Viridis/Nexus plant the DMT part of the combo that makes Ayahuasca)))
Opium (About 5 times 20 years ago, as a treat from our supplier he would send it with compressed bricks of "Thai Buddha weed" being imported into Australia)
Nitrous Oxide (sometimes used during Acid or MDMA/Ex sessions)
Ketamine
Amyl Nitrate
DOM (Once - No thanks)
DOC (Once - No thanks)
Mephedrone (Once, UK pre-ban, had it been available in quantity I would have IV'd it till my heart exploded)

Apart from the DOx's these newer analogues and other "RC's" going around thanks to the net and headshops "pre-ban" , aren't something I have explored. Had I been a teen or in my 20's I would have taken everything I could get that I enjoyed. I feel bad for kids these days with the net being what it is, must be so hard to stay clean when you can order your drugs to your door without having taken the usual risks of cold copping or picking up from a dealer. Stay safe people.

PS: after listing all this shit above I realise I have treated my body like an Auschwitz Hebrew.
 
Thanks for a very detailed reply, SKR. At one point you say "If I cannot ... synthesize it...". Does that mean you have synthesized your own drugs? That's pretty interesting. Also, except the hormones (which I don't know how healthy they are) I doubt you actually did much damage to your body apart from smoking. It certainly beats an alcohol addiction.
 
Yeah I forgot to add alcohol - probably only 4 years of everyday usage probably 10-15 standard drinks per night (overproof rum), and it caused me more health problems than anything else I've done drug wise. It is good for extractions in some organic chemistry or for degreasing engines etc.....we certainly shouldn't drink it.

But yes, booze is bad.
 
I was a major meth/speed head so you can figure the rest out in regards to my comment about synthesis (discussion against forum rules). I have grown and still do grow many different psychedelic plants and fungi (been years since I grew shrooms). Coca grows well in my climate (highly illegal of course) but virtually no one knows what the plant looks like so the one growing near my front door is completely missed.
 
Yeah, I wasn't really asking about the specifics of the synthesis but about whether you actually mixed some stuff in a pot to get high. It is interesting to me because I work in organic synthesis but am too lazy to make anything myself, which is actually good I guess.

The stuff about the coca plant is actually quite funny. Reminds me about how there were opium poppies growing in our backyard and nobody knew what the hell those were.
 
Lol yep, you can get away with a lot when you hide things in plain sight. I too had a healthy amount of "Persian white" papaver somni's growing in my front yard. Yep there is nothing more satisfying than imbibing your own creations/extractions. And if you are buying powders on the street, then learning how to remove cuts and impurities so that you are left with the best product possible. Most users have probably never had there DOC in its purist form which is the only way to have em.

Proper crack made from cocaine powder using the ammonia method should blow your head off - this baking soda business is ghetto shit for folks that don't care made by folks who don't care. This adding heat to "cook" a shot of heroin is just so wrong, all your doing is dissolving cut that will likely clump back up once it cools down by entering your blood stream. The only benefit would be to kill some bacteria that dies in hot to boiling water - but it's not making your heroin stronger or cleaner lol.

The fact that the stuff you get on the streets is cut with god knows what and often times contains other drugs as well is the reason I don't buy off the street. I like to know what exactly I'm putting into my body, and it better be pure as well.
 
Tl;dr: I'm a depressed person that's been addicted to benzodiazepines and opioids for 13+ years, and did Methamphetamine when I was 12-13 with my mom. It's probably just a mess of words that don't make a full story. Warning in advance.

I became a daily user when I was 15 in high school. Currently 28 right now, have had less than 10 days off benzodiazepines since then, from running out/trying to quit. And probably about a year and a bit off opioids.

But my first encounter with drugs was when I was either 12 or 13, was Methamphetamine that I did with my mum thinking it would make us "bond" wasn't a good decision. This might be a bit of a read, apologies in advance, if it goes on too long I'll put a tl;dr at the top.

But I started in high school with just Vicodin, it made me not care, so I kept buying/stealing it every day, when that supply ran out, I went to Oxycodone, then when that ran out I went to Hydromorphone or Heroin and Alprazolam. I dropped out when I was in my second semester of sophomore year. (So 10th grade) I also started to get into cocaine near the very end of me dropping out. Which well, cocaine for me is horrible since I have an enlarged heart and multiple other heart problems that I can't spell. So I dropped out, my grandparents let me stay with them off and on until I was 18, and during this time I was doing pretty much every drug that came my way. MDMA/MDA/LSD/etc. Skipped completely out of the Cannabis phase. (Have smoked cigarettes since I started using Vicodin) So 13 years of smoking cigarettes and benzodiazepines.

I think the main reason I kept taking drugs in general is because I never really had someone... to tell me that was a bad thing to do. They did with cigarettes, yet not with the others, since I hid that use from them up until about 2 years ago. Well, back to being 18, I lived with my great friend Jon who was a few years older than me, and sadly died saving my life (I won't get into that story) and he introduced me into The Psychedelic Scene, the Research Chemical Scene, The Darknet Market Scene..., and he was pretty much my life (Note: Not gay, and not going into the horrible story that happened two years ago with my "almost" fiance; mostly it is way too long of a story, just like this.) until he died. I slowly got deeper and deeper into addiction after his death, to the point that my sister had to live with me at my apartment so I could well live there.

Currently I'm still taking benzodiazepines (Mostly Clonazolam) and Opioids (Mostly Methadone/Oxycodone/Hydromorphone/or the Fentanyl analogues) living back at the place I lived when I was 16 with my grandparents taking care of them. No longer stealing their pills or anything. But quitting after 13+ years of Benzodiazepine abuse... is near impossible without going into a long term rehabilitation place. Which I don't have the money for, and no way I could pay for it even if I paid the minimum every month. I've tried it with 500x 10mg Diazepam pills (While taking ~=20mg's Diazepam/day) and I couldn't do it. So... I honestly don't think I'll ever get off of them. Opioids, I've got off of them... probably 100 times (Either from not being able to find anything/or wanting to quit) So at nearly any point I /could/ get off of them, but what's the point really now? One of the safest classes of drugs, when not used in tandem with other depressants. Which I only do every day. One day I'd like to read back on this clean and tell myself "I fucking did it" but I don't see that happening ever.

Just read the OP... I started because of well I was bullied in school, because I was the depressed 55kg teenager that had way too many problems with self esteem and depression that weren't noticed until I was much older in life. PTSD/SAD/just fill in the blanks really at this point.

And sadly since I live in such a conservative place, even if I do break (True story) my fucking growth plate in my hand, and got told by the doctor honest quote "I have bad news for you, your growth plate is broken in your hand, and since you have a previous issue with substance abuse that were depressants, I can't give you any narcotics, I apologize, but it's against our policy" (I had been in rehab three time; twice before I was 18 and once when I was 23 (That lasted three days) so I had to cold cop, /that/ night with this flimsy thing wrapped around my arm, as I couldn't get any of my regular dealers, and paid I believe 120$ for 15, 10mg Percocets. Which well lasted... that night.

I've had amazing experiences, I've had PCPy/TCB-2/PCE/PCP/3-HO-PCX's/Methaqualone/Aleph-2 (That TR is on here)/etc. I've had some /fantastic/ times in my life, and I've had some days where I've wanted to kill myself. But making that magical number (see below) go higher and higher is sadly what is keeping me alive, and knowing how many people I would hurt if I did end up killing myself/overdosing.

I've taken #337 different drugs, either illicit or prescription drug... honestly my life goal is to hit 400 before I die. Which well, I have the psychedelics/stimulants/empathogens here to do it, but I still haven't even had DMT yet.

I became a daily oxy user after my cancer doctors were way too liberal with their prescriptions.
 
Well, around my 21st birthday..started drinking just about every night to wind down for sleep eventually. This was WAAAYY before I ever saw a doctor for sheep or anything else, unless I wss sick enough to warrant it.

The daily drinking went on for roughly 5 years. I didn't do any other drug besides that, and smoked cigs.

Long story short, once I realized popping pills recreationally was a thing that I could get into, and was less noticeable and obvious, I'd take whatever earlier and earlier in the day, and go to work high, etc. That's when things started getting more frequent and not just evenings or whatever.
 
I use drugs every day. Namely marijuana, pretty much ever single day for a while...going on a decade, actually.

As far as the harder stuff goes, I've never been an every-day meth user (well, for any more than a 3 day period). It was really easy to control my H use until I met this one individual (she's a sexy girl if that makes a difference in this narrative) who is really into tar, REALLY into tar, and she'd come over regularly to smoke me out or hook me up with points, and I did the same for her, and our drug relationship seems to be dragging me down into the opiate mire. I haven't done any tar today, though.
 
^oh man pull out now! Even if it's to just break the run for while. But you already know all this shit.
