how many of you guys have an addiction and how bad you have it?
Cough syrup
Pretty fucking bad
Addiction to this shit ramps up slowly
I'm at maybe a trip every two weeks now, which is a good record for me.

I got into smoking last year and was at 2 packs a day last week, which is when I quit
Pretty easy actually. I guess the real challenge for tobacco addiction isn't how much you smoke but how long you have been smoking
If i don't have my cigarettes, weed and caffeine on deck at all times I'll die.
I have a heavy dependence on narcotic pain killers (percocet).
I got fucked up in a really bad car accident and i've been on them ever since. There's no end in sight

How long have you been smoking for
>>28312749
dude that is really fucked up, what are the effects?
>>28313152
At the onset of addiction, total retardation for 1+ years. Like can't form coherent sentences type shit.
After tolerance sets in, the brain adapts and isn't affected so harshly. Long-term kind of schizo-like thoughts and closed eye (and very occasionally open eye) hallucinations are probably the most permanent affects.
>>28313107
10 years
I'm 26
>>28312699
Right now:
Fap: usually multiple times daily. I didn't yesterday though.
Alcohol: sorta, I drink at least half of the week
I used to smoke cigarettes and weed. Weed was harder to quit. Antidepressants were also hell to get off of. I used weed to wean off SSRI's
>>28312979
Do you experience any highs or does it lose its effect after taking it over such a long period of time?
>>28313259
Fuck SSRIs
Maybe I'm just weird, but even on a low dose they made me feel fucking batshit in a bad way
I don't smoke.
I don't drink.
I don't do drugs.
And life is still shit
Nicotine addiction. Been able to curb it by focusing on other shit, like during my trip overseas. Didn't help that in Asia, everybody smoked.
Switched to vaping and I only do it during breaks at work. Slowly weening myself off that too.
Hoping to tackle caffeine next so I can be addiction free by next year.

This, I think the full blown addiction starts at about 2 years in of daily smoking. I quit a few months ago after 3 or 4 years but I used to quit for a few months 2 or 3 times a year so it isnt too difficult. This time it's for good though as I got super into tea and it was affecting my taste/smell a bit, not very nice to spend a ton of money on high quality tea then not being able to tell a big difference
If porn is an addiction, I have it.
If internet is an addiction, I have it.
If wallowing in your misery and sadness is an addiction, I have it.
Otherwise? No.
I'm an alcoholic and a heavy smoker. It's getting pretty bad, but I'm still functional. For now.
Food, fapping, internet. The basics. I don't touch drugs because I have an addictive personality.
>>28312749
i was starting to go down that road but i nipped it in the bud
now i only do it 2-3x a year max
>>28314025
Do you still have "the magic"?
Stretch that shit out as long as you can
Once it's gone, you can't get it back unless you take weird and drastic measures.
>>28314049
well when i was 17 i did it about 10-12 times in like 2 or 3 months
after that, i did it once a month for a while. like 3 times, spaced a month apart. now i'm 19 and it's only going to be a few times a year thing
i also never went above 500mg, usually just dicking around with one 4oz bottle, 350. the last time was 500 like 4 months ago, had CEVs and it was generally a good time. i want to find the pills before i do it again though, im done with sizzurp
Yes, IV opiates and cocaine, benzos, and alcohol.
I'm currently out on bond awaiting a court date for felony drug possession.
It ruined my life.
>>28314095
Yeah fuck syrup, it causes weird digestive shit
Try 700mg at least once
It won't be euphoric like the 500mg trips, but it'll take you to very strange and interesting places
I drink between 9 and 12 cans of beer a night with chips before bed.
Increased risk of cancer in the throat stomach and liver but it's a few percent with only this much. I avoid day drinking and liquor. It's my one big vice, I don't fuck or smoke or eat a lot I just love to drink. I don't want to quit, I love it. So at least I try to keep it as a bad habit and not full blown addiction.
Alcohol after 5 years, drinking around 30 drinks a week on average, haven't drank for almost two years. Even now the smell of whisky alone is enough to make my head tingle in anticipation.
Smoking for almost a decade, just started vaping like a faggot two months ago with almost no nicotine in the ecig, im at 3mg.
Also addicted to porn ever since i've hit puberty, i need porn for the little contact I get from the opposite sex.
>>28314126
oh yeah, i had some bad IBS back in those days, shitting liquid, sitting on the toilet for an hour at a time, etc. was also fat as fug, i was a weight lifter who nearly gave up and ate like shit along with getting high on dxm.
it's fun but it's destructive if used habitually
off-and-on poly drug abuser here.
There are periods of a few months at a time where I nearly kill myself with whatever drug I happen to be in love with at the time. Aside from that I do pretty well in life, although everyone I know is usually anxiously waiting the next episode of grim shit, wondering if it will be my last. This has been happening for over a decade.
I'm fairly knowledgeable about drugs and psychology/brain stuff, and am also completely insane. AMA.
>>28314232
How old are you? Do you use test kits for safety before taking a drug? Medical detox or do it yourself?
Seems most kinds of substance abuse are actually pretty safe and non-harmful as long as it's not habitual long term use. Actual poison is one thing but if it's just to the extent of
>ate / smoked some weird shit
your body can recover fine in a few days.
>>28314232
Any permanent mental disorders from drug use?
>completely insane
Define.
>>28314411
I'm 26. I don't usually use test kits. I detox myself. I sometimes switch between IVing heroin and coke + random other opiates. Mostly Dilaudid, honestly. It's safest.
>>28314513
I think I'm more or less free of mental disorders, save from the impulsive nature that leads me into these situations. I try to negate the worst of the effects by educating myself and exercising+eating well, in addition to my several month-long breaks. I'm very fantasy-prone, slight schizotypal thinking, magical thinking, and I get a bit slow when I'm in the middle of a bender. I go back to normal after immersing myself in reading and hard work.
>>28314513
if i talked honestly to a therapist or a doctor for a few minutes i'm sure they'd diagnose some combination of the anxiety and depression spectrum. anhedonia and agoraphobia are terms i've heard thrown around by the wide array of therapists counselors and social workers i've seen. i also have a lot of fucking weird and disturbing thoughts. i'm really really good at encouraging suicide i've honestly killed people before. i've narrowly avoided the mental hospital a few times it's not a place i want to be and i'm actually very good at hiding and escaping.
actually had a situation just like pic related back in elementary school when i was having an autistic meltdown hiding under tables and trying to run away from class. made it past all the teachers and front office and ran all the way home.
>>28314232
Are you into psychedelics and dissociatives? And, more importantly to me, are you into them with equal measure?
>>28314717
Yep, psychedelics were my first love. I wish I could find them more readily. For a while I was way more into the body drugs, until I realized that it needed balancing. I've since mixed the psychs back in. I was starting to feel less than human for a few months there, but now I'm back. Acid rox.

I cannot stop masturbating everyday. It's not even about that anymore, it's just the fact that I cannot control myself. I literally can't stop being a bitch and masturbating.
xanax and cocaine. the zannies are prescribed, but ive started sucking dick for blow.
