What is/was your drug of choice?

In the past I was addicted to alcohol and cocaine , more recently crack cocaine and. Nicotine. I notice nobody else said crack cocaine , makes me feel ashamed

Heroin, was my inconsiderate lover for many a year.

My drug(s) of choice were heroin and benzos. I mainly like downers. Im on suboxone now. It really helps me alot. I rarely have cravings.

opiates. Pretty much whatever I can get my hands on. Benzos to function, but not needed daily.

This may sound dumb but caffeine. I drink nothing but pop I drink water like may be once a week or once every other week and it's just to shut my fiance up about my addiction to caffeine and I never drink a full bottle of water. I drink some and then wait for him to leave and when he does I pour the rest down the drain so he thinks I drank it all.

Caffeine is my go to these days mostly diet energy drinks & diet dew .Though years ago it was diet pills like xynedrine and mini thins when they still sold them with effedrine in them.

Men, coffee, Benadryl (I'm a lightweight), pot (when someone rarely gives it to me)

I second the caffeine! I take seroquel at night so the first thing I do in the morning is walk to the fridge and grab an energy drink. I usually have three a day along with a few cups of coffee! And if I don't have my caffeine??? Watch out!

Mine used to be alcohol..but it was killing me.
I just can't drink.
I do need my benzo..but it is only 1 per day...I want more thou.

Cigs and coffee...main drugs at the moment.

I was addicted to cigarettes for a couple of years, but can now just enjoy a few occasionally. I got sucked into heroin when I was seventeen, got clean when I was nineteen, and was on and off all of this year until about July.

Pfood ...

Especially sugar, (the other white powder)!

I am so glad to read this!! How long have you been taking suboxone? When did you notice a difference, right away?

Have had issues with a variety of substances, uppers when I was younger, mainly amphetamine sulph, for about ten+ years, then ecstasy, cocaine and alcohol, now heroine, and methadone I suppose. ( the worse of the two by far is methadone.) I have smoked cigarettes throughout my 20+ years of addiction issues. And now I have a crippling sweet tooth courtesy of my methadone that I never used to have. Yay!

Would love any feed back on suboxone also.

My drug of choice has gone through the gamut over the past 17 years... My worst and most addicting two were opiates and amphetamines/meth.

With the opiates I'm not even sure how it got so bad so quickly. They never even used to appeal to me. I had a major surgery 09, had no problems stopping opiates after about 3 months. The following year I started taking vico and buying them off the streets. Stopped after several months cause I was pregnant. After giving birth via c-section (vicodin for couple months again) I ended up having to have several (5) more surgeries within a 2 yr period. Finally after constant requests for refills and not able to taper successfully the surgeon referred to another dr who introduced me to opiates evil twin suboxone. I can honestly say I would have rather quit opiates cold turkey than having to go through the W/D of suboxone ever again. I was prescribed a ridiculous amount of 12 mg strips 2x per day. Then started abusing those. It was hell. I was able to detox from those with an immense amount of support through another forum. And they helped to taper down the suboxone and get my vitamin/nutrient levels back on track. I was clean and sober for about a year and a few months. It was amazing.

Then I was given the shock of my life when my ex husband of 13 yrs walked out on me and our child. I had already been struggling with regulating my bipolar meds and that did not help the situation at all. Xanax then became my downfall. And stayed that way for a while.

I somehow weaned myself off of approx a daily amount of 15-20 .5mg of xanax and was sober again for 6 months.

Then along came an introduction to my current demon meth. Which is needed after I blaze through my monthly script of Adderall (usually lasts 6 maybe 7 days) then it's meth till the next refill. What's ridiculous is that I'm extremely high functioning on it. No one has a clue unless they're privy to knowing personal business like that. But I know this can't last forever. I'm certain I've damaged my pancreas.

Which drinking 2 fifths of vodka daily for several months doesn't make for a healthy body to begin with. The dt's from stopping that was rough.

I've done so much damage to my body and the chemical composition of my brain and how it even can produce the chemicals that I need normally. I'm terrified to stop my current drug of choice and the knowing that I'm about to sleep for weeks and zero energy or strength to do anything.

Alcohol, pot, amphetamines, party pills, and whatever else I could lay my hands on. So, glad it's all in the past. Nightmare journey. Now I just stick to a nice coffee and a cig.

Currently stimulants. God I love them so much. My bf likes downers and I like uppers. Causes fights!

Mostly dope but i loved mixing with coke but the list goes on i loved them all ex, acid ,was big on benzos too

oh wow what was my drugs of choice, in the 80s all the common 80s drugs, pot, coke, shrooms, acid. But then i changed over to opiates then opiates with benzos. I am 4 days sober today, doesn't seem like much but it has been tough. Keep on keepin on. sam

When i say dope i mean heroin i used for almost 5 years

Cigarettes, benzos, alcohol, and now food. Anything to try and calm down. Doing better now except for the food.

Alcohol. I doubt I'll ever be able to stop.

Meth was my last drug of choice. Before that took over it was alcohol and ecstasy. What a roller coaster of a journey it was with all that.

Had to be alcohol. I could really use a drink right now too.

Caffeine. Just because you can buy it legally and it's everywhere and easily accessible, doesn't make it any less addictive or dangerous.

Water...Which is dangerous because hydrogen can be used to make really destructive thermonuclear bombs. It's true! Look it up! Alcohol is also ripe with hydrogen, which is probably why it made me volatile. DAMN YOU, HYDROGEN!!!
