Beat a drug addiction?!


Question: Beat a drug addiction?
I am a 24 year old female and I go out every weekend to trance events and also in my local town.

When I go out I take a lot of drugs. Cocaine mostly, pills, MDMA, ketamine, speed, methadrone etc.

I am not 'addicted' to any particular drugs, in the week I can take it or leave it but at the weekend I feel like I NEED to take something in order to have a good time. Especially at trance events where I know I'll be dancing for 7-8hours and all my friends will be on pills.

I want to stop doing drugs full stop but don't want to go to my GP and 'talking to Frank' just isn't going to cut it. I know they will just tell me the harm I'm causing myself (which will not work).

Has anyone overcome this by themselves?

Answers:

Actually, you are addicted to drugs believe it or not. You are addicted in a pattern. I am exactly the same (still to this day). I believe I cannot drink and have a good time without cocaine and/or MDMA.

I have been like this for about 3 years, but I actually cut out for a entire year, then started using again about 6 months ago.

The hardest part is getting past the first 4-10 weekends, then it seems the craving for cocaine and MDMA never existed and I can have an amazing time without them. However, after about a year of not taking anything I decided to have a night of taking both cocaine and MDMA again, and that was the most stupid thing I could have ever done because the craving for another night like that returned again and I picked up a "pattern addiction" again.

I am still in a "pattern addiction" taking cocaine and MDMA on weekends, and sometimes cocaine during the week day, however, I am trying to stop again. I done it once before, so I know I can do it again.

I stopped before without anybody's help. So I know I can stop again without anybody's help. And so can you! Good luck.

In order for you to overcome the obsession to use on the weekends you are going to either transfer your addiction to something healthy during those time you would be using. Or you need to see a therapist to resolve the underlying issues that our causing you to use.

I have. in recovery 3yrs after 21yrs active on and off usage. It is not an overnight thing. It takes time, energy, willingness, dedication, study and education, and lots of footwork.
