I Struggle With Addiction Stories of Experiences

TRUE LIFE: I’M ADDICTED TO PILLS

Are you someone who will go to any means necessary to get prescription pills? Were you diagnosed with a medical or mental condition that started you off on legitimate doses of meds but now your pill...

In my pursuit of further understanding and reduction of suffering I have studied and practiced mindfulness as much as possible on my own over the past year. Mindfulness practice is being employed in Western psychology to alleviate a...

I miss the warmth. Today I want to get high really bad.  Not because I am upset about anything, not trying to "escape".  I just love the way you make me feel.  I long to be wrapped in the comfort of your arms.  I miss you.

I never thought I would be the one put into this kind of situation. But I guess everyone says that and it's a fallacy anyway, because I'm the one that put myself into it. The first time I ever did any kind of drug, it was marijuana. I...

Tyler's testimony of freedom from addiction. (Not me)

Mine can be found on my youtube channel.

I'm addicted to red heads. I don't know what it is, but as soon as I see a chick with red hair I get turned on.

I didn't get high this weekend, I did take pictures of what happened though. Some are posted. Keep smiling.

I’m three months now without having smoked any marijuana. My emotional and intellectual clarity continues to grow, my dreams grow brighter, are recalled more deeply and make more sense to be than ever before, and my ability to relate...

My freak mode stuff came today. I flushed all of the MDPV down the toilet. Crushed my roses. Threw the char away while driving down the road. I wanted to spend the next 5 days lost. But I want to escape to a better life even more.

It...

Can't write much, brain is still mushy.

My last run with the MDPV (bath salts) about killed me. 8 days later and I can walk upright and my eye sight is almost back. My brain still mush.. There is a price to be paid for that kind of...

I am what you call a long term functioning drug addict....I currently hold a Senior Management position - 3 years ago I was given an extra 6 months notice that mouth swab drug testing was being introduced & it would be mandatory, being...

Eyes that never close. 
Jittery heart beats. 
Anxious to face the real world. 
Peace is her only wish. 
Paranoia at its most elegant.
As she sits on a leather throne 
Surrounded by saints and judges. 
With a false appearance of...

Bored on my day off, I am getting ready to watch reefer madness. As I dust the cover and read the back, it says "This 1930's cult classic shows in a fun and comical way how marijuana is 'public enemy #1'". It then goes on to say "With...

This may sound silly, but it is becoming very clear to me that I am hard-core addicted to TV. It probably would be drugs if I hadn't grown up so religious. I spend hours upon hours upon hours, and oftentimes day after day after day...

Kay-o. I'm having some serious anxiety and just desperately needed to post because I hate talking to people who know me. Haha. I want to get out of this motherfucking town. It's eating me up. I feel like slicing myself open again just...

It's a shitty day. A rehab friend had her last relapse. She's was 19 and couldn't stay away from the H.

I have to resist the the temptation to pay a special final visit to her pimp/boyfriend.
