Why cant i take society but like solitary drug use? Its so hard to stop smoking and drinking. It just feels so good. Whats wrong with me?
When I was your age, I was the same. Escapism. As I grew older it turned into addiction. I hope that’s not your path. If you really think it’s a problem, you CAN quit.
Everyone likes to feel good. Lots of us can’t deal with society. So, nothing is wrong with you from that perspective.
Try to observe all the effects of substance use as a scientist of your own life.
Alcohol and illicit drugs made my MI worse and I behave badly if I drink too much, so I stopped.

I used to cut class except for two days a week, drink and smoke copious amounts at night and take copious amounts of preworkout powders every day and go workout like I was insane, which was probably because I was literally insane.
I had a hard time cutting alcohol out and tobacco still has me by the balls four times a day. It takes diligence and patience to really be a new person. You are possibly hard wired to be addicted to things- I am, it is part of the inventory they had me take (550 fucking questions with a built in lie detector, then analyzed by a dude with letters after his name, who talked to me for like a week in his office) and yeah I’m an addictive personality to be frank.
It sucks balls dude. I’m addicted to exercise like bad like hurting my legs again but ■■■■it it’s that or two packs of cigs and a handle of whiskey and then banned preworkout overdose in the morning. Like for real.
You’ve gotta get pretty damn bad to see the light with substance abuse. I would know, I did it for years.
You come away from it feeling weary. For example, it’s Friday night and I am staying home and just gonna let myself wake up naturally tomorrow morning. I was invited to go to a rock concert and drink at 10pm, but I plan on being asleep or eyes half shut by 10pm.
It’s called being an adult. Some of the most effective people go to bed at like 9 and wake up at 5 or 6. I know plenty who aren’t so effective who go to sleep at like what 3am then wake up at noon. I used to go to sleep at 4am and wake up at 8, before meds.
But really, you have schizophrenia and it’s known to make people at the very least abuse coffee and cigarettes.

I love to smoke and drink because they make me feel bullet proof.
But your know, John Barleycorn is the rapacious creditor. He gives you good feelings and then makes you pay back many times over.

Get some help, for your own sake, if not for everyone on this site.
It’s something easy to do.
Man this dude is in college…
Alcohol wont make him stable but im encouraging him to start somewhere realistic…
Marijuana highs set in strong and taper off for hours…
Get away from that ■■■■and you’re guaranteed to have sobriety for small periods of time… Then you might learn to like it… Then you might not be so inclined to take to altered states…
@kazuma its called self control… Work at it when you can… Brick by brick makes buildings… Build a castle for yourself… Takes a lot of strength of mind, eventually it becomes natural though.
State of mind ■■■■■■■■… The world wants us to indulge until we’re broke and sapped out… Then it’ll leave us behind… Gotta rise above man… Conquer yourself and you can make your claim on the world, because very few people do it… And when they do they are unfortunately so close-minded and strict and judgemental… Their advise isnt relatable at all…
So it goes man… Cut the weed (for starters)
Its like dipping into a ocean of comfort… But do it to long and you’ll run into some sharks… Dont tread for to long mate… Find the shore. Climb onto land… Then maybe you can stay away long enough to truly “dry-off”.

Yeah. Sucks to be on your team. It’s there and it’s staying until I change it. Maybe I’ll just leave it there because I had you in mind when I put it up.

I hope you don’t take this as insult but drugs are the easy way out. Facing reality is hard, escaping through drugs is easy. But doing drugs is going to be hard in the long run because you are missing out on so much by zoning out instead of living life. In AA they call facing reality, “Living life on life’s terms”. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not looking at you as if I’m at some lofty height or as if I am “holier than though”. I did more than my share of drugs and I paid for it by becoming an addict. I learned my lesson about drugs the hard way.
But now I can use my experiences to tell you what not to do. Drugs almost wrecked my life for good. I came within a hair of losing all my possessions, losing my family, losing my freedom and almost losing my life. That’s where drugs will take you. It starts of innocently enough but it escalates.
I don’t want to be too critical, in the midst of my active addiction, no one could have gotten me to stop. I understand the allure of drugs and I know how hard it is to stop. When I was smoking crack it was always, Well yeah, “I’m going to quit tomorrow”. But the next day would come and someone would offer me crack and I could never resist even though I knew the consequences.
These are just my own personal thoughts about drugs. I smoked crack heavily for a few years and I was getting drunk often. But I finally got sick and tired of being sick and tired and did something about it by going to AA, CA, and NA. I got clean and sober in 1990 and I haven’t touched drugs or alcohol since.
I don’t know much about your drug usage, I don’t know how far into it you are or the frequency or quantity you consume but I just want to leave you with these parting words. When I quit drugs it opened new, great doors in life for me. After three months clean I went back to college, I got a job, I started socializing a lot, I lost weight.
But hey, we can each only do what we can do. Not everybody is as lucky as me. But like I said, I was there, I learned the hard way. You probably don’t want to hear all this but I just thought I would put it out there.

I love them too! But you know moderation and all is best in this situation… I myself am trying to moderate my usage
Drugs were easy…
I was able to justify taking what I took… I felt they made me better and stronger. They insulated me so I could get through my day… so I thought. But the thing was…
I felt great… felt invincible… felt like I was better and brighter on them, only I was falling apart worse. I was digging myself in deeper. It’s hard to face the full fury of the head circus.
At least if I was high, or drunk, I had an excuse. I could justify why I was seeing and hearing what I was seeing and hearing.
but addiction always wins.
