thanks.

[_slavo_]

Shentov, my mate, I keep my fingers crossed for you. But, this sentence actually wasn't necessary, you know that I do.

[MellySingsDoom]

What _slavo_ says from me.

[demonrail666]

I smoke lots of weed. I'm OK with it, apart from it making me believe Phil Collins' No Jacket Required to be a work of utter unbridled genius. Oh yeah, and start inane threads about Dio.

I am very fucking dubious about Seroxat as a result - every person on an MH board that has taken it has had some sort of adverse effect...

That sucks. I was actually intrigued about it. I'd come to the conclusion that if I ever had to start taking any kind of medicine for my condition (i still can somehow deal with it with no help of medication), it would be Seroxat. But you kind of made me feel aware of the dark side, too.

Good job woman Keep it up.


My dad is an alcoholic, which I consider to be a drug problem.

I recently stopped seeing a friend of mine because to her coke was the most important thing around. The other day she told me that she wasn't so fucked up anymore, but she's said that numerous times. I'll believe it when I see it.

My other friend has been clean for a while now, but he was really into coke too. Coke or anything else he could get. Pretty sure his rock bottom was doing PCP and cutting the shit out of his arms and having to go to the hospital.

Another friend used to do morphine, quit that and started doing e all the time, now I hear she's doing coke.

I know a lot of people who have/have had drug addictions.

[Cantankerous]

it runs in my family.
grandma was a gambling addict, two uncles addicted to heroin, my other grandma cannot live without her weed, my other uncle can't live without his weed, two of my aunts are alcoholics, and my aunt (who has been dead of cancer for ten years) was addicted to cocaine and meth.
and we all smoke cigarettes.
just to be clear this is most of my family.

does any of you ever had (or has now) serious drug problems. i obviously don't mean i-lost-my-car-and-aptment type of shit (since you obviously have a computer and a residence to type from), but one serious fiending for the drug might be enough. i leave alcohol and cigarettes aside, just because of their social accepted status. but an alcohol addiction fits.
this one is more for the illegal substances. cannabis might be left aside too, but i don't know. i know a person who claims he has a cannabis addiction, even though he gets how stupid it sounds. he just can't make a day w/o it and gets really fucked up if he doesn't have a stash. i think it's more of a brain game, but psychic withdrawal is a huge part of the shit (at least for me).
upper pills, downer pills, opiates, smack, crack (rock), meth, amph, all of the above...

anyone on the same boat?

Thurgood: I'm here today because I'm addicted..to marijuana.Rehab patient: You in here 'cuz of marijuana?! Man, this is some BULLSHIT!Bob Saget/Cocaine addict: Marijuana is not a drug. I used to suck dick for coke.Rehab patient: I've seen him!Bob Saget/Cocaine addict: Now that's an addiction, man. You ever suck some dick for marijuana?Thurgood: No, I can't say I have.Bob Saget/Cocaine addict: I didn't think so.

I wish I knew that kind of family history. My mom's side is all healthy blah blah, but my dad was adopted so I have no clue about any of them.

I don't worry about myself though - cause I only smoke pot - but I always worry that my brother will turn out to be an alcoholic.

[floatingslowly]

I had too much LDS in the 70's and 80's.

I'm better now.

well, hm, weed can turn out to be a very enslaving addiction as well-- sure not as violent or beastly but still, over the years, the damage happens.

i used to be pretty addicted to weed actually, for a while-- it was all i looked forward to all day-- and if i didn't smoke i felt anxious and "incomplete"-- and then my character started to change where i didn't know what i wanted to do with my life or anything and all i did was wish for fantasyland ("why can't the world be like i want?").

lucky for me i got busted ha ha ha. it was scary, but-- best outcome ever.

I'd rather smoke too much weed than do too much of anything else though.

Don't know if I've mentioned it here before, but I would like to depend on it less. Apparently that's not happening today though. First thing I did when I got up was a massive roach hunt haha.

How did you get busted?

[Rob Instigator]

I have never had to deal with it myself, but I have had friends who have had to go to re-hab to detox from pills and cocaine. I also recently ha d afriend try to commit suicide three times in one week, from drinking and cocaine addiction.

rough rough shit man.
