never been to re-hab.

I have been addicted to L.S.D (about 2 yrs), cannabis (7yrs), E (for about 4 yrs), speed or amphetamine (about 2yrs).
I have never been in to coke or crack in a big way.
When I was in to the above drugs I was working as an actor and a few other jobs so I had to use moderation. So it kinda worked for me. It was not an addiction. I had to have big times of not taking drugs. And I was up on trapezze so it a double plus non non to be addicted. I would though in my time of be on those drugs.

Then came Heroin big time in 2001 (I was 31). That was the worst addiction ever in my life, it taught me a lot about just what it is to be addicted.
I never went to re-hab (it was offered), but I was in to getting through it myself and learning the lesson the hard way. I guess its why i'm clean now..

In all my 'so called' addictions though I would debate with my t that life itself is an addiction to me....E.G, I said that when I was 7 years old that music gave me a rush. I would run home from school just to hear music. Film was/is an addiction too and books.
I said to my t that when I wake in the morning my brain is telling me to make coffee and put on opera and have a cig, so I said just what is addiction.

Hence, I never need to go to re-hab.

Then came s/h in 2005 after an accident, but thats another story of addiction.
