Mine is alcohol. I've had issues with it since I was a teen. I quit drinking for a year but lately have been going back to it. I also LOVE uppers such as RX stimulants. I used to have a script and abused it badly. My pdoc took my script away so now I just buy them when I have the chance which is 1-2 times a month.
So what's your fav substance? What have you had trouble with in the past/present? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Painkillers especially Endones My latest addiction started 2 years ago by only swallowing a little bit of meth at party's to now smoking meth for 4 days straight a week I have gotten over one addiction but it's not drugs or alcohol I used to be addicted to cutting my self I started when I was 13 with my arms but found that if I did it to my thighs no one at all would never notice. I did it every day, I didn't stop until I was 19 but since then I have relapse a few times Last edited by Mcrforlife; May 10, 2016 at 10:46 AM. Reason: Forgot to say when I started using meth |

When i was a teenager i used pot and pills. And then of course that was taboo so i learned to drink alcohol cause it was legal. I have outgrown the use or wanting of these things. I am working on my health and reflect to how i might have contributed to my poor health doing so, so it helps me stay sober... blessings

I've smoked pot off and on for about 11 years now, that's probably my drug of choice. I like opiates too, way more than I should, so I've been careful not to even approach abuse of those. But I still have a pill or two maybe once a month.

Yeah, Xanax was the worst love/hate relationship that I ever had with a drug. You know how people say they were hooked from the first high? Well, that's how I was when it came to Xanax. I will never forget the first time I took them when I was 19. My boss had given me a couple bc I was crying over my grandfather dying. I had always had anxiety & panic attacks since I was a kid. When I first felt that calm, warm blanket feeling that Xanax gave me, I thought I had found the answer to all my problems in life. I was hooked from the first football that I ever ate. This went on for ten years. I had numerous DUIs & shoplifting charges bc I was ten foot tall and bullet proof when I was on bars. Xanax also made it very easy for me to have the nerve to try other drugs, so I got hooked on OxyContin during that ten years ride through hell. I ended up quitting last sept. Cold turkey. It was hell. Been clean since except for a bump in the road about a month ago. Just be really, really careful taking benzos. They're all addictive, not just xanax. I have been on all of them at one point or another. If you have any other problems with addiction, even if it is for something totally different than benzos, BE CAREFUL. Also, some docs don't tell you this, but when you do decide to come off of the benzos, even if you take them as prescribed, you will go through withdrawal unless you wean are weaned off of them. Also, you build up a tolerance pretty quickly.

Plus, I was smart enough when I started to mention to my bf that I LIKE benzos. He has been monitoring my use pretty closely, he worries about me getting hooked on a prescription. Sent from my SM-G900R4 using Tapatalk |

I was once addicted to an appetite suppressant. I would take two daily instead of the prescribed one. For many many years (and it worked too, I was thin). I had no choice but to quit cold turkey when the drug was made a schedule 5.
Then there is alcohol, but I'm sober 10 months. I have never tried any other kind of recreational drug. Smoking (even though I did it once) makes me violently ill. The smell, the look, just the very idea of it. I can't even clean an ashtray without becoming violently ill. I'm completely intolerant. My neighbour smokes pot outside sometimes and the smell comes across. It makes me vomit.

I smoke marijuana daily, used to smoke meth 3 days a week. Had a love affair with ecstasy, flirted with opiates of various forms, & love benzodiazepines of all kinds. I'm currently Rx klonopin & so far have managed not to use it inappropriately.

And of course all drugs seem to offer that. I have dabbled a lot but alcohol is what caught me up.

Alcohol is my demon. Drank heavily daily for 20 + years, then first tried to quit 11 years ago. Had some sober time, but keep relapsing. Lately the relapses have become more frequent and dangerous. I'm just coming out of one, and I'm really sick. Trying to get into a rehab. At any rate, I've resolved that once I'm 48 hours sober, I'm going back on my antabuse. I just need to take drinking completely off the table for a while. It's ruined my life.

Food! ... Yes, Food! ...
I've successfully conquered the cigarettes and alcohol, but my addiction to food is the one addiction that I think I will never be able to completely make peace with!

Restricting calories/flirting with anorexia. It becomes a big scary, black hole. Stay away.

I can definitely relate. I've struggled with bulimia for 12 years now. I would spend up to $50 on junk food and eat it all in one sitting just to end up tossing it up. Studies prove that eating good food (especially with all the additives today), it releases hormones in you. It truely was/is an addiction! |

Smoked pot everyday for 25 years which was my main drug of choice, and quit that a year ago. Smoked half a pack of cigarettes for ten years. Drank about a case of beer a week for 25 years also. Lots of xanax, and opiates over the years. Smoked quite a few mushrooms over the years also, and about five or six hits of lsd over that same time span. Only done x 5 times. Cocaine ive probably only done about 20 grams over that same time. Ever since i started on Wellbutrin, i have had no desire for anything, and that was about a year ago.

Mine, too, is alcohol. I started at a young age, really young. I wasn't even double digits when I started drinking. I guess I wish I would've had the choice later instead of when I was much younger and trying to win my dad's approval.
