Will You Ever Give Up Drugs Completely?

It's interesting how a few people have said they'll stop when they have kids, which makes the assumption a good parent doesn't do drugs ... why would that be the case? I have a few friends who are in their early 40s, have a few young children and still occasionally use ecstasy and smoke cannabis. They've got good jobs, own property and just have made a conscious choice to use drugs on occasions. I just don't see the big deal with this decision..

Bad parents do drugs and good parents don't?

That's an interesting discourse, but one which is probably strongly influenced by the society you live in. While all legislation is set up to make people believe that drugs are bad, unfortunately most people will believe this.
 
I don't think I'll ever give up drugs completely. There are times when I like to smoke a few cones or snort a few lines of coke. But I am going through periods now where I set definate time periods for being drug-free. In fact, I've just started one - I want to be drug free till the end of the year. I exercise alot and play sport, plus I have a few big deadlines coming up for work, and I've decided to set some goals and this is one of them.

agreed
 
My wife and I just had a baby about 8 weeks ago. I've always been experimental with many different drugs but when the baby came along everything changed, now my best high is getting a big smile from him. Also from a pratical standpoint it becomes difficult to find the time anymore.
 
I'll most likely stop the "party drugs" at some point, especially because I only do them a couple times a month at most now- speed, coke, MDMA, etc. I don't do psychedelics anymore as it is. I also don't smoke weed, because I don't like it.

I can't really see myself stopping opiates. I don't think occasional recreational pill use would endanger my life / my children / my career as I'm pretty good at forcing myself into moderation. Also, it's a good way to wind down and have "me" time, which I imagine will only become more important as a parent.

I think if I'm 40 and out at a bar with my friends and someone offers me a line of blow, I'll probably do it. But I probably won't go out looking for it.
 
I really doubt I will quit using drugs altogether. I think I've found a happy medium where I can indulge but my drug use doesn't consume me.

I love the occasional psychedelic/MDMA/MDA experience or the occasional weed smoking. I'll probably eventually get to the point where I'll only use for special occasions but until then a good trip is a special occasion in itself. And by trip I mean using any of my DOCs.

The only way I'd stop using would be if I couldn't obtain/extract any substances.
 
At this point, I can't see myself totally giving up drugs. But as of now all i use is opiates, and smoke cigarettes. Plus my prescribed Klonopin. Occasionally I'll do some MDMA or K but opiates make me more motivated, not depressed, an overall happier person, so I cant see myself giving them up anytime soon.

Bro, I hope you were getting lost of sleep before the baby was born, cause you probably won't get fuck all over the next year! ;)

Good luck with that. Yeah, I can see how people's priorities would change when they have a kid. Although drug use is still fine, I can imagine it just isn't as important anymore ...

You can say that again :) And yes, priorities do change but that doesn't mean you can't have the odd bit of time for some recreation for yourself whatever that may be. Cheers.
 
no if/when i have children i would stop using all but alcohol and i would hope that i would b able to control that more than i can now haha. i wud start smoking weed and mayb doing other drugs when they get out of college/stop living under my roof. And like someone else said they way i wanna go out is to die from shooting heroin around the age 60 (ive done opiates but never iv)

and mayb this is because im younger(20) but i dont know any ppl that completely stop using all drugs besides those in AA/NA
 
I can only think that when I become older, I will value oxycodone even more, gets rid of stress, and physical pain.
 
Nope. I've toyed with the idea and realized that i'm never gonna quit completely. I mean, shit, i'm going to school to become a pharmacologist...

-lenses
 
I used to think that I would quit completely. After first getting into certain drugs, I felt guilty for using them... probably because of the beliefs I was raised on... and I did quit for a little while, but of course I got back into all of them and then more afterwards. I had a hay day with drugs never being disappointed UNTIL a mushroom trip that put an anxiety disorder under the Christmas tree for me. That's when I was positive I was going to have to live drug free for the rest of my life... and for 3 months I did stay completely clean! Needless to say I'm back into drugs... At least I don't tweak, smoke or drink anymore. I stick with opiates, my only friend ;)
 
My days of dangerously excessive drug usage are behind me, I honestly wouldn't care if I never did mdma/coke/etc again , but one thing I'd like to keep in my life is good old weed. Probably smoke at least occasionally my whole life while I have access to it.
