Why am I NOT addicted to Crystal Meth?!

[MissSocial]

It sounds like a really odd question..
And it's not like I want to be addicted, just curious..

I've been smoking quite ALOT of ice for the past month, everyday.. Morning and night. I'm on my 4th day of being up straight in this cycle, and I've got heaps left..
But I just don't feel like it..

The only reason I've really been smoking it is to lose weight (gone from 62kg's down to 47kg's and I'm 175cm! So that's been a plus!) Although, I know that it eventually piles back on. Oh well.

I just don't understand how people say that it's one of the most addictive drugs, and that you can be hooked from the first puff, basically throw your life away to get more ice and ruins relationships?!

I could just throw the rest of the Gram away and it wouldn't worry me?

Is there something wrong with me?!

I've noticed I'm getting really bad toothaches though.. I think it's eaten away at my back teeth. And acne - Enough said.

I thought I'd be addicted with the click of a finger, I smoke almost 2 packets of cigarettes a day and have an addictive personality.

Can someone shine some light as to why I am not "Hooked", or even having cravings/withdrawal symptoms?

Thanks!

Sounds to me that you need to sleep and then ask yourself this question again. If you have been smokin everyday all day for a month how do you know your not addicted?

Sorry if this isnt what you want to hear,

But it sounds very much to me that you are addicted. The fact that you have been smoking it every morning and night, and on a 4day-bender at the time of posting this. You won't know if your addicted to something until you try, or are forced, to stop. If its difficult/impossible for you to stop, you are addicted. Even if you can stop, you could still be addicted.

This is coming from an methamphetamine user and stimulant addict (myself). If you don't want your life to deteriorate, give it a BIG, LONG break. You will NEED it, meth IS addictive to everyone regardless of there personalities. Also, using stimulants to lose weight is rarely a good idea, usually leads to dependance, and if you ever quit... you're weight will come back as fast as you can eat it.

You're best bet is to quit / take a LONG break, and use exercise and proper diet to lose weight.

Wish you and the best of luck

^ektamine hit the nail on the head.

Just because you don't want to do any more after staying awake for four days doesn't mean you're not addicted. It more than likely means you're just really, really tired.

Also, using stimulants to lose weight is rarely a good idea, usually leads to dependance, and if you ever quit... you're weight will come back as fast as you can eat it.

Exactly.
