'You're not an addict if you're happy with your life'

[Sustanon]

IMO it all comes down to your personality, your life in general, the situation you are in, the substance you are abusing and for how long and so many other factors. Most of the time someone using harder drugs like cocaine, meth or opiates on a regular basis may be a lot less happier. Serotonin / dopamine depletion can play a big part of it too. For me personally I was a happier person when I was just using MDMA and LSD here and there but now days I feel a little unhappier due to the fact of WD's and the alike. Each and everyone of us is different so its impossible to generalize.

I have yet to meet a happy addict, on the same token however, I don't think I've met a happy person either..

You guys ever wonder if your workmate might be a blue lighter? I sometimes even think I might know who they are on here and feel like just dropping a 'captain brewster' or something in their presence to see what they do.

Sorry I know that's way off topic mods, perhaps we should have a 'i think my workmates a blue lighter' thread or something, it could be fun.

I was a bit worried that my cover had been blown, I too have a mono-brow, my name ain't Christian though.

Since I let my addictions get more out of hand and accepted it I have been far more happier but I don't generally view drug addiction or drug use as a negative thing, if anything it's a positive to me.

I am proud to use drugs, they are my passion. I have tried to not use drugs for the sake of others before.. Nothing has made me more unhappy.

I think the whole drug addiction making you miserable is just stigma and propaganda. It's not like drug addiction makes you a bad person.

Haven't read the whole thread due to time but Ivine Walsh said it it well (the book not the film) Why is't using hard drugs a legitimate life choice?

“Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching luggage. Choose a three-piece suit on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pissing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourselves. Choose your future. Choose life… But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life. I chose somethin’ else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you’ve got heroin?”

i know a bloke who is (probably) addicted to coke, runs his owns business and is probably doing alright out of it. married, 2 kids and while he does think of money most of the time, hes also a pretty good bloke. he seems happy in life but yeah the drug does play a part.
