Hi all. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with kicking a particularly long term drug habit and how, if any, alcohol has played a part in your life after dependence?  Were you able to drink alcohol sociably and not have any problems? Did drinking alcohol result in you going back to your old habit or helped creating a new one? I’m really interested to hear other people’s experience. 

I myself had a nightmare, 13ish year H3roin and M3thadon3 addiction which I, very thankfully managed to come out the other side of 8 years ago. It hasn’t been without its struggles and many ups and downs. 

Would love to hear if anyone has else has similar experience and if alcohol has been a positive or negative in your life after drug addiction. 

 
I know  a couple of people who continued to use alcohol one or two times per week after beating daily use of nasal stim drugs.  But -they feelings as so different perhaps that's why thankfully my friends didn't get a new addiction to the alcohol.  But - alcohol is so very visible and something that can't really be done discretely, so maybe that's a blessing (it can't fit in a pocket, and it smells so much). 

 
Thank you for your reply 😊 Was generally quite interested in hearing people’s thoughts/experiences on this subject. Certainly alcohol use/abuse is much more socially acceptable. At least here in the uk. Than many other substances. 

Seems that alcohol can prove very problematic to individuals that have had previous issues with other substances. Alcohol seems to be a very problematic drug in general. 

 
Totally not. You get from the frying pan in the fire. Many smart drugs out there now to help.

I do drugs but NEVER alcohol. Once an recovering alcoholic the whole society will try to get you to drink again. 

Very different from C or Benzo which are NOT on every restaurant menu.

  5. LatsDoodis @ LatsDoodis: Yeah, lots of people don’t have a team and this season had some players put on the bench with some nasty fouls charged by the people watching with courtside seats. I know he was nearly assigned some state-subsidized housing but walked off the court on his date all alone, beat himself off, too. But with home security incident and other players getting thrown out the game for having too much screen time here and elsewhere, he must have just needed to quit the game and not get captured in the love

  16. M @ Mammasboi123: Or try to use the advanced filter to narrow down the results. It can be a pain in the Ă$$ at times
  17. M @ Mammasboi123: @poogod12 you sometimes have to search for a term that’s longer than 4 or 5 characters IIRC. So if you look up “6-ÅPB”, it might say your search term isn’t long enough to return any queried data. In that case just add something like “6-ÃPB 5-ÅPB”
  18. Hankhill @ Hankhill: just go to the home page and scroll down a bit lol
  19. P @ poogod12: does the search function work on this forum? cant find an RC for the life of me lol
