Heroin for me. Also drank a lot and took a lot of Oxy and Xanax. Been on the path to recovery for 5 years, though, and until one slip up recently, was completely clean. Had a terrible experience, ended up being hospitalized, and it turns out that I no longer have any desire to do that stuff. I made a promise that I will never use again...really hoping that it's a promise that I can keep. I made it for 5 years. That must be a sign that I can make it longer.

Benzos,Alcohol,Pot and Food.

Benzos I started very young at 13/14 and was my big one that landed me in rehab in my early 20's, they took all the crap away, miss them everyday, still, but I know how easily I can get hooked on them. Been free of them for a decade with only one or two relapses that only lasted a few weeks. Pot I have been on and off for over 20 years now.

But food and Booze...

If Pot and Benzos didn't stuff my life up so much I would trade the gluttony for them no worries!

Was always stimulants latterly... they are what caused the most trouble for me. Before that it was weed. I guess I've always drank a fair amount too. I've tried a lot of different drugs though... thankfully all that is in the past now. (I hope!)

My current crutch is nicotine, although I've successfully managed to switch to vaping for the time being.

Definitely alcohol, not beers so much but real hard liquor. Always been a problem for me.

Although I smoke pot for an e tended period of time, I never considered that an addiction. Tried coke a few times and it never seemed to hold my interest. Was never interested in alcohol growing up. Although I love lsd, MDA/mdma, shrooms, DMT, and so on, I never considered myself addicted. It was an occasional thing that I considered to be a spiritual experience. Was prescribed Xanax at a young age, and tried Rx stimulants when I was a teenager, I liked benzos, but was able to moderate my consumption.
Then I met oxy. It changed my life, I truly never imagined that I could physically feel that amazing, it was truly revolutionary. But oxy is expensive, and now damn near impossible to find. Went through just about every Rx painkiller known, fentanyl being a favourite, tabs could get me through a day. But pills are expensive and not in steady supply. Heroine is cheap and always around. After a period of time I decided I wanted to get clean and a friend turned me on to Suboxone and subutex. It not only got me through the day, but it was incredibly cheap and was in steady supply. I quickly became hooked for several years.
Getting out of that lifestyle seemed to be the hardest thing I've done, but now 6 months sober from opiates and recreational Rx.

Are you still on the sub? I'm currently trying to quit subs but it's the hardest withdraw I've ever experienced. If you managed to get off them please let me know how you did it!

I was addicted to heroin for a while after my senior year of high school. I have been addicted (briefly) meth as well, somehow pulled myself out of that rut. Have dabbled in all of the rest of them. It's a horrible life to live.

Totally. They genetically modify foods to be addictive. That is a scary thought. It's great to hear that you are recovering from your affliction. What is/was your drug of choice?What is/was your drug of choice?What is/was your drug of choice?. Throughout my recovery from opiates/benzos, I've learned that I have to be moderate with everything (food included) because as an addict, anything pleasurable can become a problem for me.

Weed used to be my favorite. Smoked every day for a year and a half. Tried MDMA once, it was amazing. But it also made me psychotic. If I use drugs now I'll become psychotic instantly again so I had no other option but to quit. Sometimes miss it though.
Thanks for this!

MDMA because although it is illegal it is also in it's 3rd clinical phase for treatment resistant patients with PTSD.

Mine is sugar/junk food. Recently my step dad said to me that shopping is my drug of choice. I told him he's right about that. I have a bad impulsive buying habits. If I get upset I tell myself I will buy what I currently want to buy to make me feel better. If I am proud of something I accomplished I reward my self by buying what I currently want. If I am stressed I will buy myself what I have been wanting.

I used to do self harm. I only stopped because my aunt talked me out of it. Usually I do what she tells me to. Since she is always right.

I love alcohol and nicotine; not proud of either of them.
