I never really did a lot of drugs besides smoking pot a few times but I tried crack once at a party in college and I felt pretty ashamed of myself immediately after despite high. I didn’t try it again and am actually a sober adult now, not because I had a drug problem but I just grew out of wanting to try them and never liked to drink alcohol.
I never met anyone else who would ever admit to trying it though or even cocaine despite statistically knowing many people have haha. Any crack smokers on lemmy?
I’m not curious enough to try. The stigma and negative consequences just don’t seem worth it.
Same deal here. I went to a college party with an acquaintance and he did a line for the first time while we were there. He made SUCH a fool of himself the whole night. I’ve been deterred ever since. I never want to lose complete control like that ever.
I have an addictive personality with little impulse control (e.g. caffeine, sugar, TV, games).
I don’t do things in moderation. I know that smoking would kill me if I started, and as a dopamine chaser, I know that any drug that immediately makes me feel good will be a crutch that I will use for the rest of my life.
No thank you sir.
I have tremendous respect for people who are aware of their own weaknesses, able to admit them, and maintain boundaries for themselves. Congratulations!
This is admittedly the hard part, but thanks!
This is why the one time I was around meth I asked the other party (someone I was sleeping with casually) to not let me have any if I asked to try it. I’d be on the street for sure. I didn’t ask, so I don’t know if she’d have kept her end. Either way, I’m glad I didn’t get tempted.
However, I’ll do a mountain of coke so long as I don’t have a phone number to ask for more.
