Cravings to get high

Ok, so I used to love to do drugs all the time-- uppers, downers, shrooms, weed, whatever-- but I quit after my brother went to rehab. Now I get these really bad cravings sometimes, especially when I'm stressing. All I can think about is how I'm gonna get high or just get numb. Is this normal? Does this mean I'm an addict?

    I'm definitely with you on this one. I've had a years-long love affair with pot and I'm pretty sure I'll never get over it. I love pot, I hate pot, I never want to smoke again, I would give any thing for a bag of weed right now....Yeah, that's me. I get jittery feeling, my muscles will start almost twitching. It's like the shakes you get when you're really nervous or excited about something. I feel like I would spend the entire night looking for pot, I seriously debate asking people I barely know or don't know at all if they know where I can get some. I'll feel that way for a few days, and then it passes. Then I'll get the same urge days, weeks, or months later.

    I don't think it means you're an addict necessarily, but it does mean that you need to be careful and you're probably wise for staying away from it nowadays. Especially if you have a history of abuse and your bro just went to rehab.

    your normal!
    its just that you still feel the crave for getting high, and stuff.
    doesn't necessarily mean your an addict, just haven't gotten rid of the crave out of your body :D

    Yeah, you're not an addict anymore than someone who craves coffee regularly. It seems perfectly normal for anyone who has a decent amount of drug experience to get cravings, that's how habit works.
