Have you ever been addicted to drugs

I have been addicted to tobacco since the war. I have been fighting to quit for over 30 years, pretty much unsuccessfully. It has ruined my lungs and makes my clothes and home stink. It is a filthy, dirty habit and would give anything to be able to quit, however, even the thought of not having cigarettes for tomorrow fills me with terror.
Probably the only reason it hasn't killed me is that I do not live in society, breathing all the contaminants everyone living around internal combustion engines and industrilization does.
I can actually see this contamination in the air more than 500 miles offshore from the US (on both coasts), when sailing.
If you don't smoke, don't start; if you do, quit today!

Nicotine. After a pack and a half per day for 15 years, I successfully quit cold turkey on my first attempt. It was sheer terror. I can see why only 9% of people do this successfully. I can't stand to look at tobacco anymore. Thinking about when I quit sickens me.

Define "drug".

I smoked weed daily for 4 years. 2 years ago I became addicted to ecstasy/molly and adderall. I did adderall to keep up with everything college,swimming, partying,work. I did ecstasy because I love clubbing and raves. I started abusing adderall because without it I felt overwhelmed and. I didn't want to give up the social aspects of my life. The problem with molly is I naturally started to get sad and then the molly comedown made me depressed, the drug was the only thing that made me happy and eventually it stopped doing the job and I had to do more and more. Because I was addicted to stimulants I never slacked off in work or anything so no one knew there was a problem. After 4 months of addiction I ODed and was sent to rehab. Quitting was the hardest thing I've ever done I can't even begin to tell you how horrible withdrawals are. Now I am completely clean I don't drink or take any drugs. I once made fun of sxe and now I am

I used to be addicted to alcohol. But then I stopped being a bitch. Occasionally I party, and drink, however whenever I drink I get a strong urge to use cocaine.

I've been hooked on prescription meds in the recent past, I still get itchy around opioids but it's not consuming though if given the opportunity this time round I would definitely more than just dabble.

no, i never been addicted to any kind of drug. can't be addicted to something you never did.

I was addicted to crack for two years it all began when i started hangin at the pool hall my friend asked me if i ever did coke and i said no well he had some and showed me so i tried it and was hooked automatically. I wanted more after it was gone so i said go back to your dude here's twenty get some more so he went back and came to the pool hall and he didn't have coke all he had was crack so i was like how we smoke it and he said we can do it on a can. so we did and i loved it and spent my whole check on it and continued to do so but it went on for two years i knew i had to quit my parents cried all the time i cried from embarrassment and i knew it was time for change so i went to rehab and spent 6 months in there and cleaned up

I used to do a haaaandful of different kinds of drugs, and for quite a few years, but never once did I become addicted to any of them.

alcohol dependence has been my biggest struggle but I still get cravings for S8's (prescription dugs that are addictive) and I do think about getting back into Heroin.

I use to be addicted to overdosing on benadryl. I would take it for my allergies and I liked how I got sleepy from them so I started using then I actually took like 14 tablets in one day. I woke up extremely alert and hallucinated for quite a bit. I liked that because I have A.D.D. and I can't concentrate in school. So I would OD on Benadryl before school I noticed after the detox of it I was very shaky and couldn't sleep my head was pounding. I was very alert and serious it turned me into a totally opposite person.

I didn't like the outcome of Benadryl so I went cold turkey and stop using. I still get headaches from time to time and still lust for my little "high"

I smoked weed first when I was 14, I rarely smoked it though, a vauge friend of mine at the time ( he was more my best mates friend ) had a number for a local drug dealer and we decided to get some weed, when he arrived no one wanted to get in so I did it, found him to be really friendly and professional, they'd even have a menu, when you phoned to say where you were and what you wanted they'd text back the current strains they had.

I onkupy smoked maybe once every few months back then, 4 of us sharing a joint would really effect me, I started to smoke it more and more, By the age of 17 I was in 6th form, I'd go round my friends flat every Saturday and we'd go through an 8th in one night, from then on I started to crave it a little and I'd end up getting a bag every other week, then every week, then as it made my anxiety worse the more I used it as a coping mechanism so the more I smoked, vicious circle.

Then I went to college, by this time it was messing with my mind and I felt like shit, met a girl, had some pretty strong feelings, got together, fell in love with her ( I thought, more complicated than that, looking back a lot of it was displacement) got my heart broken then strung along for the rest of the college year.

That's when I started going through 8ths in days, wasn't a day I wasn't off my face, of course I ended up running out of money so i also ended up selling video games etc to pay for it, about a year ago I bought an 8th and hated it, every time I'd feel like shit, more so than usual, also the actual process of being outnin the garden at night smoking a joint made me feel really down, I can't explain it, so I just stopped, all the years I'd actively tried to stop then it just made me stop by making me feel like shit.

I miss how it used to feel, if it had the same effect on me I'd still smoke it, just not as much,

No but I have tried drugs. I drink and smoke weed at times but I am not addicted and can easily go without it. I have not smoked weed since the day before halloween. I was addicted to tobacco before and I still smoke a cigar once in a while but am no longer addicted.

I'm addicted to Marijuana. I'll take a dick in the ass for a bag of weed.
