I get zero pleasure from cocaine. It's literally just a tool to keep drinking. (NB: don't do this. It's terrible for your heart) But for some of my friends it's the end-all, be-all. They wanna do lines all weekend and I'm just like, "why?"

Luckily for me alcohol is my cocaine.

I happen to enjoy both. One I do in responsible amounts less than once a year. The other I'm abusing like a rented mule.

Depends on the perspective, I think people going off the deep end are rather unhappy that their drug of choice is cheap, readily available yet unhealthy, comes with all kinds of nasty side effects and is quite dangerous once you've reached a certain point.

I can say that while my drinking was risky at times, it seems I never enjoyed it as much as some others, reached I liked it but when I quit / faded it out I didn't really miss it. It seems other people have a much harder time not drinking. So I consider myself lucky there.

Not hating on booze or anyone enjoying it. Just offering some perspective on your statement.

Random question but are you ADHD?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Yes, this is a me and a few of my friends in our twenties.

Turns out getting on Adderall makes you want to do coke a whole lot less and makes your mornings actually feel fine.

Also turns out that actually treating people's issues will prevent them from self-medicating with more harmful substances.

Happy for you, mate!

Haha not random, my psych doesn't think so, no. I just don't find stimulants fun

I've never liked coke or meth. I know not to ~~try~~ abuse strong opiates.

I'll take anything offered if I'm drunk, tho.

Yeah it's fun for a bit but the self loathing afterwards is intense. I kind of don't understand how you can get addicted to it but I guess people do.
