Is this a problem?

Question

I have an overwhelming desire to try drugs...I know a few people who sell drugs, so I can get them if I want to...but I dont want to get really addicted...I just want to try them...mainly all I want to try is pills...any pills...I had some hydrocodone after I got my four wisdom teeth cut out and it helped the pain..alot...and I want some more. Would it really hurt anything for me to try some different pills?

Answer 1

Jara-Lee I say, 'go ahead, try the drugs you want to try, but realise that you WILL become addicted to AT LEAST one of them. I know from bitter experience. Drugs are fun, doing drugs with your friends is great fun too. Hanging out with your drugg-f*%^'d friends is a pain and losing everything you hold dear in this life is a drag.

So yeah, do drugs, but realise they WILL destroy whatever they touch.

We all wonder about the unknown. We all think maybe just to try it and see. Everyone has urges to try something that different or new. The hard part is not to go there.

The thing to do is to not get caught up in thinking that this is a "good" thing.
Trying a little drugs is like being a little pregnant.

You asked would it really hurt anything for you to "try" some different pills? The answer to that question is yes. Cause once you try some you'll want more. You yourself have already stated that when you said "it helped the pain ... and I want some more." So once you take some you'll want more and more. Stronger and stronger.

My cousin stated taking some pills cause kids told her it'd help her lose weight. It did help her lose weight. And along with the weight she lost a lot more. Believe me when I say you do not want to be her.

Where does it stop, when does it end?

Answer 3

Pills are very addictive. Especially a pain pill. They are like Heroin. Eventually one won't work and you start needing more, you become tolerant to them. I was on them for my neck pain and then I would end up in the E.R because they dont work anymore. They give you a very euphoric feeling. The problem is when there gone reality sets in. When you excersise it releases the same endorphins in your brain that pills will. To detox from pills is very hard to do. A lot of people end up in the hospital for it. It does not only become a mental addiction but a physical addiction. Search the pills on the internet and see what they do. Its not worth it. When you detox you get cold sweats, your body aches, you get very sleepy then you can't sleep.
I would never go through it again. It doesn't just end after a couple of days.

Answer 4

Ok, I am 30 years old and have either been drinking or taking drugs since I was 13. Honestly, they get you NOWHERE!!! and really fast at that. Don't get me wrong, whatever anyone tells you on here, they've all either done them or had the urge to try them, that's natural. But trust me, especially pills, those and alcohol are 2 of the hardest ones to kick. Easiest ones to get addicted to too. One cause all you have to do is go to the doctor and fake it and get anything you want these days, then alcohol is everywhere. I personally did speed on top of marijuana, LSD, Acid, cocaine, and lots and lots and lots of alcohol, none of them were the best to get rid of because that's what I grew to know in order to deal with the things I didn't want to deal with. I am now married to an ex-heroin addict and let me tell you life hasn't always been fun with him and that craving he gets. DRUGS CAN TAKE OVER YOUR LIFE AND YOU!!! Never for once think to yourself that you can control it. The minute you think that, the drug has got you be the boo boo. If I could preach to everyone around I would....but trust any REAL drug addict, Don't do it. If you're going to experiment, then do what you got to do, but please reach out to someone if you find yourself waking up and drugs being the first thing on your mind....that means it's got you and will never let you go unless you tell someone.

I just went through a divorce with my husband of 9 yars that once "just tried a little pot" when he was about 15. Then that led to "just a little meth". Then "just a little coke". Now he is in his 30's. He is 6'3" and about 160 because he doesnt eat! He cant go one day without doing cocaine though he has tried and tried. It has led to so many other problems including sleeping around and losing his family. I tried drugs when I was a teenager and still regret the things I did when I was on them. It is fun at the time but some day down the road. It may be 20 years from now, you will wish you never did it. Stay sober, do well in school and dont become a loser.

Answer 6

I have to agree with everyone else here and say Don't DO IT. Would it really hurt anything?? yes. your life, your future, your body. It will hurt a lot.

You took hydrocodone because you had pain after surgery. That is normal. What pain are you trying to cover up now? it would be in your best interest to talk to a counselor or someone in the addiction/mental health field to identify what it is you are trying to get away from, hide from or not deal with.

why would you want to do something that is only destined to lead you down a path that can end up with you dead after one try? and please don't say you think it won't happen to you.

I see people every day in the hospital who say that, and now they are addicts fighting their disease on a daily basis. Everyone of them will tell you the easiest way to stop drugs is by not starting them. It will ultimately ruin everything you love including yourself.

but like another poster stated...it doesn't matter what we think. The only opinion that works in this is yours.

Answer 7

I speak from experience-
They are sooo addictive-
especially in high stress times,
-Don't do any drugs or you will have more trouble than you bargain for.
You can't control them, they will control you,
that is all you need to know.
Just don't.
Hydrocodone is for pain,not for a buzz.
Neither is any other kind of drug.

Drugs turn good people into people
that we don't even know anymore.
Pills are definately nothing to mess with,
the wrong combo, and you could go into coma,
die, or fry your brain.

Please reconsider,,,
dont ruin a good track record.
In this day and age, you can't do drugs-
they test for it all the time in jobs now.

As a parent, I beg you, please don't.
Not anything. Just say NO

Answer 8

Oh god, please don't. It isn't worth trying anything and getting hooked on it, then going through a life of hell and having to quit. Hydrocodone is fine if you take it as prescribed when you have pain, but if you take it recreationally, you will get hooked. You might think you won't and that you'll just do a few, you'll do it once in a while, it won't happen to you, you can control yourself, etc., etc......well, let me tell you that not a single drug addict out there tried drugs thinking that they would get hooked or wanting to be an addict. Every single drug addict out there started out just wanting to try it and thinking they wouldn't get hooked. They all thought they could use recreationally. What makes you think you're any different? What makes you think you'll beat the odds? What makes you think you're going to defy all the facts of addiction and manage to do drugs without becoming an addict and paying the price? As a former vicodin (hydrocodone) addict, I can tell you that it is a life of hell and that the only ONLY way not to go through that life and the subsequent torture of quitting is to never get hooked in the first place. ANd the only way not to get hooked in the first place is not to try drugs in the first place. And by drugs, I mean pills also. You make it seem like pills aren't really drugs. Well, they are and they can be as deadly as any other drug. Hydrocodone addiction is an epidemic right now...so many people get addicted to it without even realizing what's happening. Every single person who is/was addicted to hydrocodone (including me) got that way by originally taking it for pain. None of them wanted to get hooked. But they did. It is in the same category of drugs as heroin and morphine and one the hardest drugs to get off of. It is so easy to get addicted to it. It is very powerful and your body builds a tolerance to it so quickly that you'll be addicted without even realizing it. You're going to do what you will.....but the fact that you asked this question means that you have some apprehension about it....anyone who tells you to go ahead and dabble here and there hasn't gone through the life of hell that every addict does. The chances that you'll be the exception to doing drugs without getting hooked are slim to none. Is it worth it????? You won't lose anything by not doing drugs. But you can lose everything if you do and get hooked. It's simply not worth it. Trust me. Please trust me. I'm still paying the price for my addiction to vicodin years after getting clean. I really hope that you listen to me b/c I speak from experience...I started taking hydrocodone after gum surgery...and I too "wanted more." That's how innocently my addiction started. Learn from my mistake and don't live through the horror I did. Take it as a sign that you happened to have asked this question tonight and I happened to have read it and responded.

Answer 9

Sweetie I have been there and it's not somewhere I want other people to go. It will start with pills then they eventually won't work. Then you will go to something harder. If you think you won't get addicted then you are hardly mature enough to be trying drugs. If you want to try drugs you should at least be honest about them.

Answer 10

Displace the desire. Do that which is creative and exotic, and accompany someone while doing this...someone with a sober bearing yet who knows fun...

Plan a trip somewhere different. You are too used to familiar things... Seek out the exotic...

This will displace the desire...

One great way to displace this is to go and do something to help others... like Habitat for Humanity or some other volunteer agency -- something you would really enjoy doing. Therein you will find others who will help you displace your desire, and without their even knowing they are doing it for you, because chances are they are too busy outflowing and giving to be encumbered by self-absorption, see?
