Hi I'm new to drug abuse on the whole and i would like to get your opinions on what it is besides withdrawl that is makes it so hard for people to to stop abusing drugs?
Well, I must confess that I have abused drugs and tried quitting unsucessfully many times. Not only is withdrawl that makes quitting so hard, its the cravings and high that one can only experience with drugs, personally I abused heroin.
WiThDrAw| sucks dude, HARD! I should know, I've been through it. I hate it when people keep encouraging me to quit. It's not as easy as it sounds, seriously...
It's like Junkie says, the cravings and the highs are too hard to give up for the weeks/months of withdrawl.
Albeit, I think if drug dealers, the entire market or the people involved in drug dealing were eradicated, it would be much easier to quit.
Well I'll start off with an analogy, withdrawl is like having half ur body in hell and the other half in heaven. Your finally free from the living hell of drug abuse, you're on your way to the good life, but your body wont let you coz' of withdrawl.
Anyways, the more common sym's of withdrwal are shivering, headaches, cold fevers, severe abdominal pain and vomitting.
Believe me, when my bro koolboyz says common here, he doesnt mean that we junkies commonly suffer from either of them. In reality, we suffer from a mix of different withdrawl symtoms. Seriously, having one at any given time is hell enuff, having a mix of gastric, cold fever and puking together is no fun...
I kinda get why its so hard to quit drugs. Anyway, I think you shouldnt do drugs in the first place. I also believe some people do not have a choice but to take drugs, be it peer pressure or being forced into the habit; these are the kind of people that we should really feel sorry for.
I have been fighting a battle fors years with alchol and pot mostly alchol since age of 13 I'm now 48 and it's slowly killing me I stop for long periods only to relaspes again . What kills me the most if the doctors could help me relive some of the anxtiy I feel when I have to leave the house, but they say because of my drug issues, they can't help me. But I think thats why I go back to self-med because of these fears I have I have decided Monday to go into detoxic to try again to get my head out of my ass. I don't want to drink I hate myself for it. The shame I feel is the worse
