Not naĆÆve! :slight_smile:

Molly = pure MDMA

More or less itā€™s ecstasy, but not cut with god knows whatā€¦although the terms are used interchangeably fairly often.

I didnā€™t put cigarettes because Iā€™m still a smoker and nowhere near being ready to tackle that one. Should I still add cigs? Not sure the parameters of the poll.

Do we post what we have kicked in the past or what we are working on now?

Woops, probably should have put Molly/ MDMA/ Ecstasyā€¦ but is ecstasy still a thing anymore? @Becsta @TMAC are there any other big ones I left out? Bath salts? Huffing? oops LSD! and Sterioids!.. Iā€™m by no means an expertā€¦ can I edit add to my poll? @Robin @Yoda-Stevie

Buncha drunks running around this forum I seeā€¦

If you do modify it you might as well just add a choice for ā€˜moreā€™ bc that was my favorite. Iā€™ve abused pretty much everything up there except for shopping at one point or another.

Add benzos. Thatā€™s my other.

Right there with you.

Iā€™m always so glad you are around because you definately get it. I canā€™t really explain what that means, but yeah. Seems like there are so few people in recovery that are working on benzo addiction. Unfortunately thatā€™s probably because there are so few who actully take the steps to coming off them.

I think it covers the basics,but addiction is never basic, it takes on so many twisted forms.
I love this though, I can look at meth and especially cocaine and say thereā€™s my people!
And so I can understand the people that feel left out of what they need to talk about.
Another thing it opens my eyes up to how the most legal thing here is the most damaging at a glance.

Pills have been after me for more than 40 years now. I have had long stretches of being cleanā€¦but benzos in particular have a hold. Anxiety is a constant struggle, but I do what I can to smooth out my brain naturally. I always appreciate your input and suggestions.

I think it should be both considering how hard it is to kick anything.
You kick it,and you kick it,and still your addiction comes at you with big puppy eyes saying arenā€™t we friends?
No fucker were not.

Ive done many of the drugs up there but ive never been on a month binge or used regularly forming bad habit. Just like some can drink responsible. So i just picked my addictionā€¦

It morphs into something else, that is basically the story of my life. The addictive me remained for all those yearsā€¦now I am finally FINALLY doing the serious work of unpacking and rewiring my addiction issues, not just kicking the substance.

I think there are a few folks on here who struggle with gameing.

I can only edit the title and/or move it to another section, so I am not much help. I think it is fine as is. No stress girl!

and those little chocolate frosted donuts. Good Night those things are addictive. I have to treat them like I do drinking, by saying ā€œnoā€ to the first one. If I eat that first bit of doughy goodness with the plasticy chocolate coating, I am done. I donā€™t stop at one sleeve. I.Must.Have.A.Box.
