Heart braking stuff, I think they should show this at all schools insted of just saying "drugs are bad"

[sunkissed206]

Celebrities included? People start using drugs for ALL kinds of reasons.. not just because they have had a "bad" life.

The real reason for addiction is the selfish act of a society wanting an"instant" high with a steep come down. Whereas in life you get natural highs then gradual come downs.

I came from an incredibly shit life but chose to work hard at shit jobs, go to college at nights, meet a fair few smack heads along the way of hostels and street sleeping. 22 now and have a place with my gf, a sports car etc

I chose to have a shitty come down of a teenage life to get my high in my early twenties.

watch "Methadonia" here on u tube, very touching stories of addicts trying to kick.

just gotta stay away from those triggers. i'm clean 10years now but only by the grace of methadone. if you want a life get in treatment on methadone and stay away from former freinds and users.

i think the problem with having a harder time to quit cigarettes is bc it's legal, easy to get and people smoke around u. like u walk down the street u see some one smoking it and it triggers. or if u enter an elevator and some one has smoked a cigarette and the smell is left there it triggers people. A person who is trying to quit should stay away from it however u can never stay away from cigarettes. some where u'll see it in some one's hand and there u go relapsing.

Yeah if heroin was not so cool i think this could stop people from doing smack

[LittleBoiFen]

Stick with the cigarettes.

I don't think nicotine is a harder to quit that other drugs. Its just that nicotine isnt as bad as say heroin or crack, so they use nicotine to cope with the addiction they cant persue anymore.
