When i was addicted to drugs. I always had something to do. I always had a purpose and felt satisfied when i was getting high. Now, i just sit around, work and waste away from life and stress. Is it worth being sober?

Is actually "living" and breathing and being a part of life healthily a good reason to be sober? If so, yes, it's worth it.

Find yourself something to do to cure your boredom.

Well, I don't really have personal experience with being addicted on something.

But I had a friend, that I went to kindergarten with, through highschool. His name was Cody, we were best friends, we dated, but we just ended up being great friends in the end. He got into drugs, completely changed. He was only fun when he was sober, I couldn't stand him high, he was so boring.

I think it might be worth being sober, because you're being yourself without any substances obviously, and you don't need to rely on anything to become happy.

But as for you..... if you have extra money to spare, and you really think you need to go back to the drugs to go out and do things, whatevs, its your own opinion, and life!

Everyone needs an addiction or two.

Mine is porn and jerking off.

Bardock's is child pornography.

AC's is cock.

VVD's is Aids.

You get the idea.

Mine is jerking off to Hentai.

If you can afford it, then it's not really that much of a bad thing. It's being desperate and not being able to get any which is bad.

Yes.

Some would argue that I am an alcoholic.


I'm not an alcoholic, since I don't go to the meetings.

I am a drunk.

I've never had a problem, yet.

I feel I'm one of the best functional abusers to live.

Is it worth being sober? people are different. My drug phase was in my early twenties for a year or so, and I quit, no problem at all. Some people get hooked easier.

People are more addicted to different things, as well. For example, I've successfully given up an expensive cocaine habit, but I've never been able to give up soda.

Yeah, I quit smoking cold turkey. Though I only smoked about ten a day.

I still have the occasional sneaky cigarette when I'm drunk though, so Ive cut down to about 10 a month.

thats how I started, I was like 20 and was drinking. someone offered me a smoke, I took it, and was like "whoa..."

Haha yeah, they're so nice to accompany a drink.

I know, right? and they wanna ban smoking in bars/pubs/taverns. dude, drinking and smoking are like french fries and ketchup.

Yeah, it's already banned here and to be honest I think it's made me smoke more. The reason being is that my friends all go outside for one and I don't want to be on my lonesome in a club or bar, so I go with them, then I end up smoking.

It is a nasty habit and I dont wanna be around it.

But in pubs, come on. If you dont wanna smell smoke, GTFO of the pub.

Yeah it is really annoying. The most annoying thing is that the places just reek of sweat now, I'd far rather smell smoke than other people's body odour.

good point. I never thought that maybe the smell from smoking covers the BO.

Everyone needs a fix, something to relax and have fun in doing. Drugs happens to be one of the unhealthy ones. Sounds cold but i think people as a community only don't want you to do it because it causes antisocial behaviour. Though as SelphieT pointed out, it can ruin relationships with friends and family members. So drugs have a steep price beyond the money.

I think it's pretty safe to say everyone has at least one hobby. I have several.

I think it's worth trying different things. Variation is the spice of life after all

Is it worth being sober? From what I understand, you weren't addicted. You're stupid, try to be more intelligent and think threads through. It would prevent embarrassment and more stress...hopefully.

To be quite honest, if the person has 100% control of the drug they are using, and not vice versa, then I have no problem if they do drugs. I have done cocaine before, and I had to quit because I knew that I wasn't in control, and that the drug would end up controlling me.

Whatever extra-curricular activities you partake in, I have no problem. As long as you are in control.

i only smoke weed. weed aint bad. but if you look at the harder shit like crack and heroin than yea thats bad. weed can cause car crashes i aint gona lie but crack and heroin can kill you sooner than you think.

Weed is just as much a drug as heroin is. The only difference is that weed is a natural occurring substance, while the latter is man-made. I, personally, never liked weed or how it made me feel. That's why I just drink alcohol.

i tried extacy and acid before and i didnt like it.

I used heroin for a while in my teens. Managed to stop before I really became addicted though. Haven't smoked weed in almost a year. I 'only' smoke now, and enjoy the occasional drink. Don't really miss it to be honest. Using heroin is one of the dumbest things you can do to your body, and weed gets boring after a while.

Looking at it in a heartless and practical way.. drug addiction is good.. it keeps money circulating, and helps get rid of less productive members of society... also it gives people someone to blame and whinge about...

Can I just make a point? Nicotine and Alcohol are both drugs, and alcohol is worse for you than weed, and thats a fact. It kills more people than crack, heroin and ecstacy combined each year. I think more people should know that, really.

I used to smoke weed ALL THE TIME. In college, I was basically stoned every day, it blows my mind that I got decent grades. I drank beers every night, or mixed drinks with a bong rip or five. I even started my career with the same habits, only I didn't get stoned at work so much as I did in class. As I got older, I realized I couldn't live that way anymore. I began to realize that jeopardizing my career was stupid; a random drug test would have put me unemployed, plus pot made me lazy. I also started thinking about marriage and kids . . . did I really want to find a partner with the same bad habits and end up having a family with her? Nope. So I basically quit smokin' dope, and now a six pack of beer lasts me for over two weeks.

I never quite let drugs become a problem, but I put a stopper to using them when I knew it was time. It was difficult to do, but not all THAT difficult. Now my addictions are watching tv shows, making stupid videos, and sexy time with my wife. I'm not claiming to be anyone's roll model, but shit. Anywayz . . . srug

im 13 and got high for the first time last night...


Gooooood times XD

And i was listening to aveneged sevenfold at the same time.
Makes it even better ^.^

I know its controversial, but I'm for the legalisation of weed.

I hardly even smoke it at all either, but it does more good than bad.

Hey im a teenager dont judge me.
Teenagers make bad decisions.

??

I said, I'm FOR weed. It should be legal. It does good things. I just don't do it... much.

Sir, i aspire to Hiker status each day of my life. You are the beacon of light in the darkness of my despair. You most certianly are role model material

I started smoking pot when i was fourteen. Mainly to fit in. It is kind of ironic. I got high to fit in with the people that tormented me growing up. I guess that is how the psychology of things work though. I hated getting high and drunk for the first year of my drug experiences. After i started dropping acid at sixteen. I found that i quite enjoyed drugs...,and the worlds they can offer. Although i dropped out of school in ninth grade. I did go to college and was able to achieve A's. All the while doing some heavy drugs. Two years ago, i decided to sober up and dis-associate myself from the crowd that drugs bring. Although, ive become healthier, i think my quality of life has withered

liar

started drinking and smoking weed when i was about 13 i suppose. had periods of one being more used than the other. now it's sort of stopped, but i'll never say never because you always want what you can't have!

This girl above tells lies

she has a joint for breakfastand is stoned as a monkey everyday an you know what its gooood shiiit maaaan ha

No really i think everyone tries drugs just out of curiousity
me myself have and rather enjoy the effect of certain drugs but Only on speacial occasions whereas weed it just pik me up through put the school day

I don't lie.
It is only every now and again.
Because I have massive gaps of short term memory loss.
So there's lots of times I don't remember and I don't remember smoking a reef in them.

Ha.

ha thats would be a pretty good excuse if the whole memory lost thing was true...unless u mean u remember shmokin the reef and then due to the effect forget the events that then follow

I hear ya. I left out the parts where I did acid, e, shrooms, mescaline, coke, and I think I snorted crank a few times. . . oh, and nitrous. But all that stuff doesn't compare to the amount of marijuana I smoked between 1991 and 2005. My old roommate had a saying we used to live by, "Drugs are a vacation. Take them." Well, the vacation is over for me.
