Im also addicted to DXM. i love it better than any other drug. The people that matter to me would rather me be addicted to harder drugs just because they dont want people to know that im addicted to cough syrup, like its pathetic or something. its just another drug among many. i have yet to find the mindset that helps me overcome my Social Anxiety Disorder, so until then i guess ill just keep drinking DXM and smoking weed to make me socially functional....
