 Coolness: 276465 | Like most of the people that have replied I did drugs to escape, to momentarily forget all the shit I couldn't care to deal with. The second the high was gone I found myself in an even worse state then before, and dealing was 100x harder. Yet for some time I found that through getting high on certain drugs for long enough I stopped caring about the things that bothered me and with the caring the pain left aswell.
I am extremely fortunate that I never developed much of an addiction to any of the drugs I found myself doing. One thing I noticed though, was that among the people I did drugs with, most of the time the people who got really addicted were the ones who really had no problems at all. I mean we all have problems, but I mean the kinds of problems that stay with you for life, the kinds you can't avoid. The people I knew with those kinds of problems be it..growing up in a bad enviroment and having low self worth, or having your parents split up at a young age, and be in the middle of it all, the death of a close one, ect.. These people who had emotional scars, who life was harder for and would always be harder for were stronger than say the people who were just at the wrong place at the wrong time, who were always sheltered and would have no idea how to overcome such an obstacle like addiction. The stronger people knew that if they didn't want to give up on life they had to give up on drugs, whereas the weaker ones were lost in the bubble and found themselves escaping the comedown by getting higher and higher. Im happy to say that a lot of these people have overcome their addictions and are still a big part of my life, some had to deal with their issues by leaving behind all the things connected to the high, andalthough I miss these people very much, I just think to myself "I'd rather they be alive, than dead, even if I can't have them in my life." For myself, songs, places and objects linked to those times dont remind me or weaken me in anyway. They are just songs and objects, and I define their value, and linking them to drugs and bad times is just another obstacle among many others I dont need. Drugs may it be even booze or weed, still come in my life and I slip up, and yes I consider booze a drug. But, I never let them take over my life and if I catch myself slipping I know that I am not doing myself any good and am just making my life harder and getting closer to giving up and giving up is not an option. |

| Coolness: 276465 | I dont hate myself. I hate the sitty hand I keep getting dealt, but I just keep playing the game. Lifes to much of a wonderful experience to give up on, no matter how low i've found myself, no matter how many " wosrt day's of my life " i've had (only 3 and each worse than the last), or how many times i've felt so low that I thought no one could possibly understand the pain, I realize im sure many people could, and im sure I could feel a LOT worse then I do at this momment, and what do you know..just having hope that it would pass gives me the stength to keep on truckin. |

[ www.rave.ca ] If there is an "evil force" that compels people to use drugs, its the force of nature. All people naturally want to turn towards pleasure and turn away from pain. And drugs are an instant shorcut to temporary bliss. |

 Coolness: 46900 | I started doing drugs, bacause I just had so much fucking fun when I was high, then life strated to get tough and like most people, I "used" drugs to forget about how upsetting some things were, but mostly I always had a crazy fun time when Iwas high, this lasted years, but eventually I stoppped finding it so much fun, and more depressing, and I also became more serious (i grew up) and realized that a lot of things in my life we important to me and I would never be able to fully enjoy them if I was taking drugs, like the use of my brain for intellectual things. |

 Coolness: 97130 | only to have fun, with friends, to enjoy more stupid things.
There was a time I was doing a lot and after a time, I was finding them boring, they were making me depressed and my brain was melting. I slowed down a lot, like I'm doing 1 or 2 mdma a year, 1 or 2 acid a year, and it's all good for me, the other time there's alcohol, girls, love, normal life or fun with nothing more than fun! :P |

I can relate. I keep playing the game too. I'm trying to stop the game though. becuse life is not a game. Life ought to be much more than that. The fact that life is such a wonderful experience keeps me going to. I'm glad you are doing reasonably well. |

Actually, I lived a simlar path in respect to drugs and my attitude towards it. I like to have self-control and I would really regret my continued drug-taking if I ended up with a serious some-kind of disorder. Ic an limit that chance to a certain degree by being more healthy, including limiting consumption of drugs. |
