Addictive Personality? tell me?

Man get to a meeting "strength" has nothing to do with it. It is a disease, not unlike an allergy, neurotransmission processes in your brain require certain chemicals for a sense of well being.

Alcohol, pills, cocaine, pot all initiate a response where your body craves, your mind wants it, and your actions carry it out.

Put the pills away and head to an AA meeting, get a sponsor.

If you could control it, you wouldn't have picked up the pills, eh?

Try controlling diahrrea. See how well it works.

I've been sober and clean for 21 years. Switching addictions happens a lot. If I could drink it, snort it, smoke it, stuff it, eat it, or screw it and it feels good I'd do it. Eventually it bites back.

We are men that have lost their legs we can never grow new ones and drink (or drug) like normal people. The old pleasures are gone Never could we recapture the feeling we had when we 1st started drinking or drugging. it has become a job. It has control and we don't.

Hey there Nightdreamer, I'm sorry to hear of your battle & struggle with dependencey.

I have heard it said it's just swapping the ***** for the wicth!

AA & NA are up your neck of the woods. The twelve step programe I have heard is very good & changes a person. And alot never touch the stuff again. I have a good friend who goes to AA & she has been in it for many yrs now & says that although she doesn't ever feel like or want to drink again, she still goes for the fellowship & to be reminded of her need to stop.

So thiers proof that after a while, whether the brain chemicals change or it's time itself that heals? but it does happen.

Have you thought about one of the programes where you come from, like calling the Bridge House or the *city rehabilitation Hospital. I think thats on Lord St.

Anyway pray about it & I will for you too!

If you want to discuss further off line, I'd be happy to chat, as it is breaking day now.

You have an addictive personality.

What you need to do is get into a rehab clinic and seek therapy(think they do that anyway in rehab) asap!

I did drugs in my past but never addicted to any of them.... I found myself to be happier without... minus my cigs(which I am quitting!)

I cope by artwork or cleaning... I will drag out my art stuff and work on something or I will clean like there is no tomorrow until I calm down! After I am calm I confront the issue head on!

Drugs are only a temp fix and if you don't deal with your problems you will always have them!

You ARE just telling yourself you need them... thats what addicts do.

Your "normal" is being in a state of "abnormal" ... you have to get used to being off them before feeling "normal".

He as a concern controlling something in any respect suitable? the respond is sure there's a huge concern! addiction is addiction he's not doing away along with his addiction he's changing his addiction with some thing else. Get expert help. because of the fact it could get risky for you and him

You have been able to remove enough brain cells of emotional memory in the past and paid the price. Now you might learn the secrets you never heard of about life. But you may give up again and just forget it all.

Sounds like you need medical help. Talk to your doctor and think seriously about getting into a rehab program. its not going to be easy but you need to get clean.

baby you have an addictive personality maybe you should go into rehab and get help or try really hard and replace them with vitamins and gummy bears!!

hope this helps!
