Poll of the Day > I think it's time I finally quit all drugs

(+) Yeah! (+)

After today, of course. And by drugs I mean all the downers, not the uppers. I will only do downers in the evening. And the alcohol in the morning is really making me sick so I should probably reserve that for the weekends. But none of my friends drink anymore, so my mind is basically a twisted rubber band.

So youre quitting all drugs except for evenings and weekends

So you're cutting your drug use by like 5%? Congrats man

No, only uppers in the morning.

To be completely honest, it's starting to really mess with my ability to function and move forward. If I was rich I could live like this I guess, but the real problem with drugs is that you're hurting the people around you. I spoke to a veteran who was sick from cigarettes and he told me to get rid of it. I did it out of respect, but I have more at home. He told me to smoke weed instead, but for me when it comes to drugs it's really all or nothing. I spent time with my mom, and because I smoked she smoked too even though she's trying to quit.

Sometimes I wish everyone did drugs and we lived in a jungle

After a certain age its best to slow way down.

Although... youve ever seen those tough 79 year olds that look like strong 50 year olds, and have been heavy users for years? Those guys are a special breed.

You're going to quit drugs by not quitting drugs? Sounds like a recipe for success.

So no more drugs

Besides the drugs you plan on using every single day

That basically describes my dad's side of the family. Drink like a fish, eat greasy ass food all the time, smoke non stop and live to be 99. I think it's the hillbilly blood. Their bodies evolved over generations to withstand that lifestyle

You are an alcoholic

You can not quit all drugs, until you have done ALL the drugs.

Get to it man.

You're right about that. Yesterday I bought 3 beers and couldn't even finish half of one.

Alcohol has a history in my family of ruining everything

I took an injection of abilify about a week ago, and it's made it impossible to enjoy any feel good drugs. It also took away my ability to dream and rest properly at night. It'll wear off in a couple weeks, and I really can't be taking prescription meds anymore, that's the real problem.

It's funny how people always tell you to quit drugs but when it comes to prescribed drugs they say you'll be on it for the rest of your life for your own good.

Drugs are bad mmmmmkay?

Seriously I avoided them (percription included) most of my life. Now I have to take them for blood pressure and diabetes *sigh*.

No choice, since basically all my family members croaked before me at this point, including my brother 4 years ago (and he was 2 years younger then me). My blood pressure used to be insane, but the rediculous amount of drugs I take....keeps it fairly low now.

So...maybe drugs aren't bad?

the most overused phrase of all drug addicts who most likely won't be quitting, ok?
---

It's time I quit all drugs.
I'm gonna limit one kind to a specific time of day and another to the weekends.
After today obviously.

Follow your own advice and quit all of them. Not "later" either. Otherwise, maybe you shouldn't have bothered making this post.
Also, if dropping addictions are gradual processes or not is beside the point.

There's a difference between taking them for medication and doing it for the hell of it. And you know it.

There is a difference but that doesn't mean they are not all bad. I have never taken even asprin etc, I don't like drugs. I just don't have a choice now. Also, I was mostly joking with the drugs are bad mmkaay part (not the rest after I said seriously).

Candy is bad too, and do we really know what's in the water we drink?

I think moderation in everything is the best option for me at this point. I've been so addicted and I was happy with it but then the trials came and I basically flopped. My go-to and main one was cigarettes, so I would wake up, smoke one, then my place and body would stink so I would shower and then have another one right after. It was almost like an excuse to do nothing all day, but I need to keep learning how to live. I like to have fun, but too much of it and it loses its meaning.
