I disagree. I used to have a drinking problem. Today is my 4th day sober, and I'm not even craving a drink at all.

Yeah. Adderall. I have a dependence on pain meds. But I wouldn't call that suffering at all. Im at peace with needing it. Plus Im still content when I only have enough to get by and not enough to have fun with it. Over 10 years I never compromised my morals for it.

Adderall on the other hand, can leave me compromised if Im not careful.

Addiction runs in my family. My dad was an alcoholic and then a porn addict. My mom was an alcoholic and drug addict, and then a prescription pill addict. My brother was an alcoholic and drug addict, and now a gambling and meth addict. I was an alcoholic and drug addict until I had my first child, at which point I stopped everything.

I've done my share of drugs but never really got to the point where I was doing anything on a regular basis. But I've been an alcoholic for the past 14 years and counting.

Benzos, I was getting various kinds wherever I could and felt I couldn't live without them. I was having 10+ pills of varying strength a day for 6 months before I kicked out of it. Ruined my life for awhile and alienated me from family and friends.

After and kind of the same time there was codeine and other opiates. I started with buying cough medicine and drinking that, moved on to buying pills. Had a bad experience that came close to an overdose that freaked me the fuck out. I take prescribed tramadol now for pain and I don't abuse it so I think I'm good there.

I've had problems with alcohol for about 5 years, got to the point where I was drinking either 2 or 3 bottles of cheap red wine a day or when I had more money 70cl of rum or cheap bourbon followed by beers every night or 2 of the big bottles of alcoholic cider sold in most supermarkets here very cheaply. I wouldn't drink until the evening unless I wasn't going to be seeing anyone and I would never drink when my kid visited but it got very bad and I've had some counseling for it. Now I have a stable homelife and a partner that can't drink for health reasons I barely touch the stuff. I'll have wine when my family visit or maybe a few beers a month. All good really.

I'm not sure if it was a proper addiction but for about 2 years I regularly, basically whenever the online pharmacies and local ones would sell it, abused dxm containing cough medicine. It ruled my life and I still maintain it's the most enjoyable drug high and feeling but it's very destructive and not good if you're around or in communication with other people.

Not exactly but I did form a dependence on pain meds recently. I had been taking one pill daily for about 6 weeks (through a prescription). I thought I was on a low dose and Id be ok. And once I got treatment and my pain decreased, I didnt need pain meds anymore and just stopped taking them. Immediately went through withdrawal. Fever, chills, horrible nausea, moodiness, headaches, general awfulness. Talked to my doc about it and I tapered off them slowly over a couple of weeks. Very scary to think how quickly and strongly your body gets used to them.

Not myself, other than booze, caffeine and nicotine.

But I'm a pro and is immune to that shit.

But I do know too many that has or does the harder shit.

Just plain batshit crazy and depressing they are.

I'm addicted to benzodiazepines rn and have been for about 10 or so years. It honestly suck very badly to taper off of it after being on so long. I'm thinking about going to inpatient detox once I get tapered down a little more.

I used to be addicted to opiates, mostly Oxy and Methadone but also Hydro and fentanyl and then suboxone. Nowadays it's like I burnt my opioid receptors, I can feel them but I don't get the same euphoria I used to get from them. Plus they are hell on my digestive system

Marijuana is honestly my favorite drug though but I wouldn't say I 'suffer' from addiction. I very much enjoy smoking some fruity ass dro

As someone on opioids from 10 years. Fentanyl seems like a no go. Too many deaths man. Im glad you sound more careful these days. I got really dangerous with adderall but now Im ok will it. I no longer take it too far cause I control the amount I have at once.

Yeah man, Pepy kind of jumps the gun on things. He pats himself on the back before he should :/. I hope the best for the man. But giving yourself undeserved credit never ends well. It's always the people who think they can easily dip a toe again.

I've now gone 5 complete days without a drink. I have no negative symptoms. Just a very mild desire to drink.

So what you're saying is if we lock every addict in a room for a few days and they make it through medically unsupervised withdrawal then they are magically cured and not addicts anymore?

Guys, shut it down, shut it the fuck down, this man just solved addiction

For a large portion of the time i managed to hold a job, then for a while I was unemployed and stealing from big chain stores, hence jail a few times.

I've been clean (minus like 2 tiny slip ups) for something like.... 4 years now? 4 and a half?

I smoke a lot of weed
