Are people that do drugs really happy. My ex is a dumbA** he said he was going to stop doing drugs his practice was falling apart he wasn't paying his bills he would break up with me when he did them then beg me to come back when he wasn't high. He went back to doing drugs. Are people really satisfied in life that do drugs. (Drugs meaning anything weed, ecstacy, cocaine shrooms)

People who depend on drugs to make them happy are only filling a void that they can't solve sober and aren't strong enough to do so sober. So, they fall into this hole that they think they can only function when they are on some kind of substance, it's really an escape. It's hard to discuss why there so unhappy or what is missing in there life that they must depend on these things. If he can't get medical help to stop the substance abuse for himself, because if he dosen't see a problem he will never see it. Your best bet is to try to help get professional help, if you still love him. But, if not i would stay clear so he doesn't bring you down and move on. I know it will be hard but Good Luck!

Ok, the words people on drugs and happy should not be allowed in the same sentence or paragraph for that matter. Its got to be some kind of oxy-moron?! I know because I am a drug addict of 10 years. I am clean right now by my choice because I was sick of the misery and UN-happiness. I abuse meth and GHB and they both made me feel a FALSE sense of happiness & sense of being in control of my life. The truth is that it destroys you, some faster than others but the end is always the same; No matter who or where you come from, happiness will not survive the drugs.

i'm happy i guess. i smoke daily but on special occasions i'll do ecstacy or cocaine. i still make my bills and don't flip out or lose control. i did alot of shrooms and acid right after high school. i wont ever do that again just because i did so much that i'm afraid if i do it again i wont come back or i'll just snap permanently. that and i had a few REALLY bad trips.
i mean i have a decent job, i'm passing my classes, i don't have emotional problems, i'm not addicted to anything anymore(i was addicted to cocaine at one point) but now i wont snort it i just smoke it with some buds in a heavy chevy.
it differs from person to person. some people are natural born addicts and just can't help it.

The drugs give the user a temporary high, but if his use of drugs are making his life fall apart (falling behind on responsibilities and failing at significant relatinoships) it sounds like he's an addict and not simply a recreational drug user. If he's addicted its not about 'satisfaction in life' he needs it and wants it and drugs will come before anything and everything no matter how much he loves or cares about his practice, or you, or his life and health. Rather than blaming him, I suggest learning more about addiction, if not for him, for your own personal growth.

No. I think drugs and/or alcohol are used to fill a void or cover up pain. Someone who is neglecting to take care of their responsibilities, paying bills, etc. sounds like they are in pretty big trouble. This guy doesn't sound like he is ready to get help and is pulling you down with him and mistreating you. I would get out and let him know you will be there as a friend if and when he is ready to seek help. Good luck.

Its one thing to do drugs recreationally which can be tons of fun and becoming an addict as he is. Two totally separate issues. When your losing your business and cant pay your bills then what can be fun about that ? He has crossed over being able to have fun with drugs to a drug addict.

No, they aren't. That's why they do the drugs!!! And, if you think it's easy to stop, try asking somebody that smokes how hard it is to quit(not nearly as addictive) or a person that keeps picking the wrong mate(can't change their habits!). You'd do better to try and see if there's a way to help him to get clean or just leave him alone to bottom out. You aren't going to do either of you any good by belittling him or trying to make sense of it from your own limited perspective.

No they are usually doing drugs to compensate for their lack of happiness. They just become numb and don't think about the bad things in their life, and then pretend to be happy.

Addicts lie. They lie a LOT.
If he's clean 100% for a whole year MAYBE be a friend again. Until then you'd just be someone to lie to in my experience with a LOT of addicts in my life.

No they are not happy. Sure when they are buzzed they feel all is right with the world but if they don't have their drug of choice they are misreable.
