aughh capybara Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 There was only one other person who said this: Gambling, more specifically online gambling. I used to get paid on a Friday morning and lose every penny after midnight. Some weeks were alright, but others weren't great. I didn't seek help, I figured that seeking help was admitting fault, so instead I used https://www.gamcare.org.uk/ to deal with it. Now if I wanna make an account on any gambling website, it instantly blocks the account. If people can't believe this part too, but to help get myself off of gambling, I just did GTAW gambling instead. Around the height of my addiction was November 2020, I used to make characters, afk for 40 hours and gamble away every $200,000 I got. I'm probably why there's so many gambling truckers out there. i also smoke 30 cigarettes a day, i'm probably gonna be dead by 30 1 Link to comment
Koko Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 (edited) I have to be careful because I have a very compulsive personality. I tend to binge on any substance I have easy access to (translates to gaming or drinking, too), and have abused a lot for coping and in many cases as a vehicle to socialize, which is absolutely dangerous. Never use drugs that others use recreationally because you think they help you in any way. I have a very broad history of drug use, but was particularly addicted to Speed/Amphetamine and Cocaine due to it being rampant in my area, and me working and being involved in my city's nightlife scene. I have lost quite a lot of friends to the drug culture in my city, but one day I had a thought after trying to sober up on a Sunday morning after a 72 hour binge of Speed, MDMA, Acid and who knows what else. I realized that every single one of my friends was in this same depth as me. Quitting would mean either becoming a hermit, or being tempted every time I saw these people I loved. I moved countries, and started a new career there. I realized my only way forward otherwise was an early death. I still struggle with alcoholism when I am going through a rough patch, but I have kept away from contacts with the drug world, and have only done drugs a couple of times completely recreationally. For others struggling: if you have built a life around drugs, starting a new one saved mine. It could save yours too. Edited January 31, 2022 by Koko 1 1 Link to comment
areku-san Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Consuming and selling weed, sleeping pills. Don't show off with your drug use. If someone says you do drugs, deny it every time, even if some people know you're lying. Also, it's all about who you hang out with. Link to comment
