Its all in your mind. You control your body. Addiction and Tolerance occurs when your synapses addapt to the levels of drugs in your system. You need more to satisfy them and keep them working. It is possible to damage your body enough to never be the same again, but you can always leave the drug alone. YOU MAKE DECISIONS... You only do these drugs for addictions if you have a weak mind. I did almost any drug you can name at least once (except with a needle). I did it to see what the hyoe was, and althought i may have had the best feelings on these drugs, i dont do them. Once in a while i want to do the drug for a recreational purpose. EX: A concert, snowboarding, drawing fucked up pictures, a party i want to just get wasted beyond belief. I dont wake up and "need" to do them again because my mind is correct. ADDICTION IS NOT REAL BECAUSE if your mind is correct, drugs cant overpower your mind. IT IS YOUR MIND THAT DECIDES WHAT YOU WANT TO DO. Maybe you have a weak ID, maybe you just dont want to stop. That is not an addiction. You let yourself continue if your weak. Strong individuals dont use them for "no recreational purpose" and THINK they NEED IT.

Try doing heroin for about 6 months and then tell me you had an easy time quitting...it's not all mental, some of it is physical because your body gets so used to having it that it gets bent outta shape when you aint got it.

back when i had only smoked crack once i thought it was cool but i didnt want to do more and get adicted.

about a year later i came up on alot of it and was slangin for a while and started smokin for a long time and was hooked for 2 years. i started doing heroin to get off crack and was on that for 2 years.

when my lady kicked me outta her house and i had noplace to go i checked into the psych ward of the county hospital and detoxed in their. now i just smoke bud and drink a little dont fuck wit anything else. addiction is your own choice....it just fucks with your head and not give a fuck if you make the wrong choice because your body needs it hella bad

Blight I think you weren't addicted because you were smart enough to stop doing the drugs before your body got used to them. That's the point where a strong mind can overcome an addiction, but if you kept on doing the drugs you might have become physically dependant on them and experienced real addiction.

i break down addiction into 2 categories...

Mental addiction.... which makes a person want something and unable to resist or say no ..etc.

physical addiction.. without it your body doesnt function properly. Melbourne has a big heroin problem, i see what it does to people mentally and physically.

I drank and smoked weed everynight for 3 years. I smoked ciggarettes for 5 years. One day i realized smoking really is that bad and i quit. Didnt go thru any shit from my body. When i realized quitting smoking weed and drinking could help my workouts and gains, i quit. Easy as cake. Sure for a lil bit i was like WTF can i do now for fun? So i drink like 2 times a month when i go out or something. I dont even smoke weed anymore. It was all in fun, so for years of doing it, i just have good memories. That shit was in my life everyday for so many years and i gave it iup in ONE DAY.

As for more addicting stuff, i did coke many times. Started as fun, and ended in fun. I never did it because I NEED IT. Thats bullshit. I sure felt like i needed it a day or more after, but i didnt do it. ADDICTION IS A PART OF YOUR MIND TRYING TO TRICK YOU INTO DOING THE DRUG FOR NO PURPOSE OTHER THAN TO SATISFY THAT ID (the ID controls your primortal urges and wants in your brain). If you let your ID talk you into it once, your fucked CAUSE YOUR TOO WEAK TO LET IT GO and you call it ADDICTION. Cause you just keep doing it when your mind is really just too fucked.

As for Heroin, i know too many peeps who have done it and quit, or still do it after years. I remember Ecsatcy and it was the same as any other situation. YOU CONTROL WHAT GOES IN YOUR BODY. You are just making an excuse called ADDICTION when you are too weak to just realize you dont need it. You werent born with it, and for those who were born "crack babies" studies show they arent as bad off as we once thought when you see how many of them are totally normal now.

its all in the mind...thats what i'm talking about, way to start it off, because i've always beleived that and used whether it was about my so-called alcholism, or doing a marathon...its too bad though some peoples minds are to weak to cope stress, yep thats all it breaks down to is dealing w/stress.
