Not only can I quit any time I want, I quit multiple times a day.

Just like cigarettes.

Just glad to see no-one is taking steps towards the harder threads like Circumcision.

I always told myself that my use of drug threads was at an acceptable, moderate level, but I was wrong. I was just a moderate drug thread user. I mostly did drug threads at parties. Some guy would find a laptop. He would laugh out loud and shout "HAHA, YOU MUST LOOK AT THIS, THIS GUY STILL BELIEVES IN THE GATEWAY DRUG THEORY" and invite the others to look at drug threads with him. Then we would look at drug threads until the morning, giggling excitedly.
It's exhilarating.
It's addictive.
And then you come down.
You feel empty inside, as if you've had part of your soul sucked out of you. Directionless. Bored. Anxious. You feel crippled socially. You search desperately to find something to fill the void inside you. I drank heavily, smoked marijiuana, smoked cigarettes, ran naked around in the forest, I even performed elaborate sacrifices to Satan himself, just because I wanted to FEEL SOMETHING. And I didn't. I eventually returned to the drug threads, because that was the only thing that helped. Of course that only made it worse in the long run, making me turn to the stronger stuff. Being a dickish atheist on social media. Donuts. Meth.

Luckily, I managed to stop before it ruined my life completely. I got help. You too can get help! But drug thread addiction receives very little attention both in the media and in academic circles, so there are still few options for treatment. I'm currently working for a lobbying group working to increase funding for the sadly underfunded Drug Thread Enforcement Agency, and hopefully that can change.

There's no need to talk like that here

Just because we do drug threads doesn't mean we do that trash. We have some kind of class, here!

Nigel, it's important that we support people who are sharing. This is a Safe Space for people who are trying to recover from their addiction to drug threads. Would you like to share next?

I'll go, if nobody else wants to.

Hi, everyone, I'm Roger, and I'm a drug thread addict.

Hi Roger!

I don't have a problem

I'm just here because I'm on diversion.

[LMNO]

I don't even belong in the group!



Stupid court-ordered counseling...

Now, I know it can be very difficult when we come here because we've been forced to by court order, but I think you can both get a lot out of the experience if you let yourselves. Some of our other members first came here because of a court order, and now they're drug thread free for over two years. It's natural to be angry with the system that sent you here, but you have to realize it was done for your own good. Addiction to drug threads is a serious problem, and it won't get better until you admit that.

HI, ROGER.

Thanks.

I was a "social user", you know?  I'd only look at drug threads, or talk about drugs at parties.  That's how it started out, anyway.  Then, one weekend, I was pretty fucked up in a civil rights thread, and someone linked me to a drug thread...and not just any drug thread.  It was the hard stuff...A legalization thread.

I was in heaven.  You couldn't tell me SHIT.  I stayed up all Goddamn night, main-lining that sweet, sweet goodness.  This was no gradual decline...I went straight to the bottom.

That Monday morning, I woke up with my face on the keyboard, still logged into the thread.  I had a case of QWERTY-itis, you know, from my face being on the keyboard, which itself was full of my drool.  I'd shat myself repeatedly, apparently unwilling to even get up to go to the bathroom.

I felt dirty.  Ashamed.  I took a long shower, and went to work, swearing to never do that again.  But when I got home that night, I wanted to check on just one response...

...I called in sick the next day.  I didn't even shower when I got up, I just threw on some boxers and a wife-beater, and plunked right back down.  Long story short, I lost my job.  My wife left me for the cable guy.  My kids stole everything they could get their hands on, and ran off to North Vegas, yelling something about a "nicer neighborhood"...And STILL I couldn't stop.

Next thing I knew, I was shuffling from under the 4th street bridge towards the library, where internet use is free.  Somewhere along the way, I passed out from hunger.  I woke up in the hospital, diagnosed with malnutrition, dehydration, carpal tunnel syndrome, and one hell of a prolapse (brought on by excessive butthurt). 

It's been a long uphill battle since then, but I can only take it day by day.
