My love affair with weed and my fling with cocaine caused me to fail out of school, spend all of my money, lose most of my friends, the one I loved most, the respect of everyone who knew me, a few jobs and almost my life, too. It got to the point where I felt like I couldn't stand being a disappointment and a loser anymore and I tried to kill myself. It was awful. But of course, not long after that I was doing it all over again. I went through two more "almost" situations (mostly with weed) before I watched a few episodes of that show Intervention and realized how pathetic I truly was and quit. It was hard, to say the least.
But yeah, to sum up, weed caused me the most problems; that is one hell of a psychological addiction. Coke (really never more than an occasional thing, but that craving is like nothing else) sure didn't help. I should really just leave it all alone, but it's always like, "just a few more times then never again..." God only knows whether "never again" will ever be a reality for me. Drugs are my old flame and they keep coming back into my life, looking all sexy.

2 more notes:
Nicotine is ridiculous, too. It was so hard to quit smoking but I did it -- not the case for millions of other people though.
And regarding MDMA: I have a friend who is a total E fiend who claims it isn't at all addictive and causes nothing but the most positive of outcomes. I feel she is misguided, especially after reading stories here.
