Considering an extended brake from "drugs"
    #5537794 - 04/20/06 01:37 PM (17 years, 9 months ago)

I banged oxy the other day. Last night i ate/snorted, a huge amount.
It's not that it scared me. Its that I'm 18 years old, and I've officially done EVERYTHING.

I dove head first into the drug culture at 11, and when i look up out of the fog, I'm not entirely happy with my life. I don't blame this on the drugs per say.. Its a combination of me, and my own hangups.
But I've been spending so much time in a quest to get high, that I've neglected growing up, and becoming a productive person.

I'm not currently "hooked" on anything. I did a long stint with alcoholism in my younger years, and have since learned moderation.
Got bad into Meth awhile back, but also got that in check, and learned how to control it.

I need to quit, not because a drug is fucking me up, but because my main priority in life is trying to find a new kick. A drug that will make me feel better.

So basically I'm thinking about taking a year or so brake from "drugs".
This doesn't include psychedelics, as i don't consider them drugs. I also don't see myself trying to quit alcohol, because i depend on that for social lubrication. Without it, i am lost socially.

At this point, I'm still in the thinking about it stage. I will not set a goal that i cannot keep. If i decide to do this, i am doing it for keeps.
I am gonna go out big, before i do go out tho.
Maybe i will set the date at the end of June sometime...


Any advice mi Amigo's?

Sounds good to me. You seem like you are making the right choice for all the right reasons. I hope it works out for you.

:"But I've been spending so much time in a quest to get high, that I've neglected growing up, and becoming a productive person":

My high was once life
I found drugs or they found me
Every day cloned

Fuck man. I'm not even smoking today! You know how fucking shitty it is to go visit America the day before 4/20?

I could really stand to get high right now. Even though I know I need to take one of those breaks that always help me get my life back on track. *Sigh. I guess I'll just have to settle for the fact that it will do me some good to miss out on the celebrations this holy-day. Holiday?

Hey, does anyone know the etymology of holiday? does it come from like xmas being a "holy" day?

You should do whatever you need to do to get your life back on track.

Imo, you should only use drugs in moderation. Like for me.. smoking some weed every now and then as a special occassion would be a very nice thing to do. It would only help me to have it in my life. However, you might not be able to regulate your actions so maybe that's not a choice. Use your discretion and come up with a solution.

sounds like a good idea to see what life has to offer besides drugs (plenty!) :thumbup:
go for it :cool:
Once you quit keep it in moderation when you start doing stuff again. Only once in a while to keep it special etc. Get your dayly kicks from other things in life :sun:

It's not that hard to quit if you have a legit reason and really want to do it. I hope you succeed. You will learn after a couple weeks of being off the stuff that life has a lot more to offer and you will learn to love everyday things when you aren't focused on the drugs.


Best of Luck

Someone once told me that actually seeing the problem was the hardest part of the solution and that once you see it you are always equiped to handle it and probaly know what you should do...even if (or mostly because) it sucks to think about actually doing it.

If not, the psychedelics should help out! :cool:

Best of luck and good vibes!

However, when you transcend all this pre-conditioning by returning to the original wisdom of the animal body, then you discover this immense dimension of opportunity. For some people, it is a frightening risk. To me, that's the psychedelic experience."

way to go. I've never entirely stopped; just week or month breaks. I've been attempting to take a break over the last two weeks, but now that I probably won't have to take a dt for my job, I probably won't. I want to, but not enough to actually do it.

I feel you man,Im the same way. Im 18 and I live my life day to day. But each day I get fucked up, and then the next day if I dont have something to get fucked up on, I get all deprest, and realize how shitty this world is, and how shitty my life is. its starting to wear on me, but Im only happy when im on drugs....Thats life I guess.
I hope you find a way out man....

I'm not that bad i think. Its a fine line.
They aren't doing that much damage, but i feel like the best thing at this point in my life would be alittle bit of sobriety, to add a new perspective.

another rule: i can still try new drugs.

i would have to say that i would definately recomend stopping those drugs...
as far as still drinking and using psychs... many people compensate with other drugs almost naturally... for instance someone stopping drinking smoking more weed... and so on and so forth...

it is possible that you would naturally substitute other drugs for what you arent doing... and lots of psychs and alcahol can be a serious problem

either way god speed, and i support your choice.
