I hate taking even Motrin!. I doubt I would!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
This is the first question that you have posted that I have nearly left unanswered *not* because I had nothing to offer, but because of what I *can* offer!. I will answer anyway, and let those who claim the moral high ground make the judgments!.!.!. we have all made mistakes, and although I am not proud of it, this was one of the many *I* have made!.
I am the same way you are now (I won't even take Motrin unless I am unable to manage the pain on my own!.!.!. and that is a rare thing indeed for me), however I didn't always feel that way!. I went through a phase years ago (my children were at their grandparents' house and I was at UW for summer classes) and I fell big time!. I had done my fair share of drugs back in high school, and I think I only got away with it because I was also pulling a 4!.0 GPA!. My teachers knew I was in the bathroom getting high, but all they seemed to care about were high marks I received in class!.
After I became a mom I changed all of that!. I was clean, healthy, and had my feet planted firmly on the ground!.
Until the summer I referred to above!. That was a bad time for me, and not even because of the addiction element, but because of the way it messed with my mind!.
Anyone who has ever lived in Seattle knows about the heroin scene there, and that was where it began for me!. I never slammed it, but I started smoking it with a few "friends", just to relax!. My husband and I were briefly separated at the time, and I was staying with a woman who I had been seeing!. She was beautiful, sweet, successful, and she smoked it almost daily!. I didn't see the harm in trying it, and within a few weeks I was right next to her, "chasing the dragon" right along with her!. It wasn't long before I was trying everything she did!. I've always been open to pleasure, and this was (in my effed up reasoning) only another form of finding pleasure!. I did *everything* (including Peyote, which I have high respect for as a vision tool for those who can respect it's religious aspect, but NOT for idiots like me who thought they would just get f*cked up on it)!.
My wake-up call came when my children were due to return in a week, and I realized that I didn't know how to feel, because I didn't know *myself* anymore!. How could I even decipher what was pleasurable, when I had been indulging in FAKE (chemical) "pleasure"!? I no longer enjoyed walking on the beach, watching the waves roll into the Sound, because it was not an intense surge of "happiness" like I had become used to!. I no longer enjoyed my classes, which I had *always* loved, because they seemed to pass slowly and were too mellow (and yet not as mellow as smoking skag w/my ex-gf)!. I was out of touch with *life*, and worst of all, I no longer knew *myself*!.
That was the end of it for me!. The day I had that realization, I packed my stuff up, got my own apartment and got clean!. It was a hellish week, but by the time my kids returned I was back to being ME!. The sickness of stopping everything CT was *nothing* compared to the hate I would have felt for myself had I *not* stopped all of that!.
I have never looked back, and because of that experience I now despise anything that removes me from reality (I drink perhaps once or twice *per year,* if that, and never to the point of being drunk)!. Pain is a real feeling that we can learn to manage, as is heartbreak, or disappointment, or even boredom (which is why many people continue to use)!. Even *I* know that not every moment can be filled with pleasure, and in those moments it is better to seek what we can out of *living*, and not out of a chemical!.
Therefore my answer is a strong *NO*!. Even if heavy drugs were not highly addictive, I would not bother with them!. I enjoy life far too much to ever go down that road again!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
