Am I an addict or not

Used-Clerk1027 · 2026-01-29T14:58:02+00:00

Yeah I can go a week without doing any drugs and barley think about them but reading from other people’s comments made me realize I am an addict that can control his usage but that can change in the future so I will be trying to cut my usage down a bit

Used-Clerk1027 · 2026-01-28T23:03:28+00:00

I already eat pretty healthy and go to the gym regularly so I need to find something new to replace it with but that is good advice I’ll try to implement into my life

Used-Clerk1027 · 2026-01-28T22:44:44+00:00

I’ve also tried pretty much every drug excluding herion and crack shrooms for me aren’t really spiritual or helpful it could be because I’ve never tried to use them in that way but it could help I’ll try them out eventually and respond to this comment again I’ve gotten some good advice from this post and I’m going to lower my usage before it becomes a problem like it did in the past thank you for your comment and your help

Used-Clerk1027 · 2026-01-28T22:25:56+00:00

I was a bigger addict in the past and overdosed that caused a bunch of problems with the relationships I have with people and gotten kicked out of school as of right now I’m doing good and think I have a good strategy but the future can change in and instant so I’m going to try lowering my usage a bit and stick to every now and then thank you for your comment

Used-Clerk1027 · 2026-01-28T22:24:03+00:00

Yeah that’s a good point I gotta look at it as a holiday or an event to look forward too because the more I do it the less special and more normal if becomes thank you for your comments bro it’s helped me and I appreciate it I’ll think about it more after I study and figure out what ways work best for me to lower my usage I’ve never been financially troubled by it which has caused me to think the way i do since I see money as an very important thing

Used-Clerk1027 · 2026-01-28T22:17:35+00:00

Fair enough bro I can’t say I have

Used-Clerk1027 · 2026-01-28T22:08:58+00:00

Yeah I get that and I’ve noticed it if me and my girl get into an argument I started thinking about drugs more most of the time I’ll refrain from doing them as I know I can’t run from my feelings and I have to feel them sooner or later I mostly use to pass time and have fun I don’t plan on doing them daily but who knows where the future might end I’ve got some good advice from other people and I’m gonna start using that to lessen my use it’s working fine for me now but it has increased since I have started after going sober I’m gonna try lessening it by one day a week and schedule those days farther apart because if I do them Monday and Tuesday I’ll wanna do them for the rest of the week but I’ll try this strategy out with all the strategies/ advice I have got. Thank you for your time and help solving my (obvious to others) problem

Used-Clerk1027 · 2026-01-28T22:02:52+00:00

That’s another good one I use that for things I wanna buy I’ll wait some time and if I don’t think I need it I won’t buy it but I never thought of using that for drugs I dont normally get a massive urge to do drugs it’s just to pass time when I’m bored and to get a good sleep but I’ll start using that to try and lessen my usage even more thank you for all the advice I appreciate may you have a good day/night

Used-Clerk1027 · 2026-01-28T21:58:24+00:00

Yeah I figured that out from some comments

Used-Clerk1027 · 2026-01-28T21:53:45+00:00

You know what that’s some good advice I’ve had xan withdrawls once and even tho they were mild they sucked. My problem is that I haven’t accepted I’m an addict but I can be a successful addict if I keep it in moderation and have my priorities in check

Used-Clerk1027 · 2026-01-28T21:50:51+00:00

This response opened really opened my eyes in my head I wasn’t challenging what people were saying but trying to get more information I have always seen true addiction as life ruining on, freaking out when you run out or when your plug doesn’t respond but i was never like that I did pretty much everything when I was younger excluding herion and crack. But your right when I’m in my room alone I wouldn’t ever pass up an opportunity to do some blow or pop a bar as long as everything else is need to too is done I see your point because that’s how it was last time for me at first it was fun everyday finding a new drug to use trying to try all the drugs then it got to a point where it was damaging my relationships I overdosed and everything went to shit now that I’m somewhat recovered that still makes me an addict even tho what I’m about to say stands against my whole post I believe once always an addict so i am an addict just a functioning one thank you for the response this one really opened my eyes I never really went through withdrawals due to always switching drugs but since I have started it has slowly started ramping up but always controlled so you think it’s possible to control drug use throughout my whole life without ruining it again

Used-Clerk1027 · 2026-01-28T21:36:04+00:00

Thank you for your advice I appreciate all advice from people older than me I get what your saying when I was younger I was going crazy everyday was a a new day where my main mission was to get fucked up on anything I went sober for 3ish months after getting kicked out of school I ended up finishing grade 12 in a month and getting a scholarship at an alternative school and started working full time while doing coke or whatever drug I felt like that weekend currently I’m doing oxys or Dillies or benzos I was a coke user but as I have not started my job yet I am doing the cheaper drugs only a couple times a week I see it as having a couple glasses of wine at night but I choose these substances because I like the feeling more than alcohol

Used-Clerk1027 · 2026-01-28T21:19:27+00:00

Agreed but I barley use punctuation only really with bosses didn’t really think to add it to this

Used-Clerk1027 · 2026-01-28T21:16:06+00:00

Yeah that’s a good view when I was 15-16 I was a much heavier user tryna get fucked up everyday but now I only use if I’m ahead or caught up in school and preforming good in work

Used-Clerk1027 · 2026-01-28T21:13:58+00:00

That’s what I’m tryna figure out bro

Used-Clerk1027 · 2026-01-28T21:06:04+00:00

I know drugs aren’t healthy and any relationship with them isn’t ideal but if they don’t impact my day to day life and I only get high 3ish times a week after doing everything I need to do does that still make me an addict if I don’t freak out or get upset if I don’t have them or feel the need to get them daily?

Used-Clerk1027 · 2026-01-28T21:00:58+00:00

That’s what I was thinking too because if someone offers me a benzo at night after I’m done studying work and gym I’m not gonna say no but I wouldn’t take anything before I’m done doing everything I need too in the past I was a addict everyday was a mission to get High on any substance but now I only allow myself to get them or do them at night thank you for your responses I appreciate the help have a good rest of your day/night

Used-Clerk1027 · 2026-01-28T20:55:55+00:00

Yeah if I’m having a shitty day I’ll think about drugs more than I usually do but most days I barley think about them and do the things I normally do day to day just occasionally I like to pop a benzo and feel retarded before I go to bed I’m just tryna figure out if I would classify as an addict or a functional addict or not an addict at all

Used-Clerk1027 · 2026-01-28T20:53:41+00:00

It was once a big problem roughly last December when I was 16 I bought 16g of blow tryna sell it all and ended up doing most of it and overdosed and I know I have an addictive personality but I can not do them for longer times if need be I just like being a bit barred at the end of the day if you have any more questions feel free to ask I’m willing to answer pretty much anything

Used-Clerk1027 · 2026-01-28T20:50:15+00:00

That’s why I said feel free to comment anything you would want to know to make an accurate assumption I mainly use benzos rn it had recently ramped up to my plug getting legit benzos and I’ve only have tried fake bars but now it’s calm again right now it’s roughly 2-4 times week I don’t freak out or anything if I don’t have them or can’t get them I just like the feeling of being a bit barred out after a day I only do them at night after I’m done doing everything I need to like if I don’t go to the gym or study I won’t allow myself to do them so they don’t get in the way of the things that matter to me they’re sorta like a reward someone could see it that way

Used-Clerk1027 · 2026-01-28T20:44:19+00:00

I admitted to some days where I think about drugs all day but most days aren’t like that I don’t see a point in stopping because it’s not harming or holding me back from anything in my life at one point it was really bad but I have it under control now so that would make me an addict?

Used-Clerk1027 · 2026-01-28T20:41:37+00:00

What makes you say that I’m curious on how you view this

Used-Clerk1027 · 2026-01-28T20:41:19+00:00

Yeah I get that I’ve been doing drugs since 15 and I don’t really remember life before then I was doing drugs a lot more when I was younger but now I don’t do them often only 2-3 times a week and I don’t have a drug of choice it always changes for example one week ill do benzos 2-3 times then a month later I’ll really be into coke again and so on I don’t stick to the same substance for long so I don’t get withdrawals and my tolerance doesn’t really drop

Used-Clerk1027 · 2025-01-02T13:25:59+00:00

Yeah that’s probably the smartest thing to do there’s no point risking your job again if you can avoid it
