Problematic or not?
I’m not addicted or anything, I just want the viewpoint of someone who has experience with drug use.
I’m a recreational drug user and drinker. Harddrugs and heavy drinking is (mostly) only in the weekends. (On average 2 to 4 days a week) I don’t use crazy *** and I don’t have a specific drug I have a problem with. I mainly use coke, mdma, 3mmc, speed but also alcohol or ketamine, sometimes psychedelics.
I’m young (20) so I feel like it’s fine to go out, have fun and do some drugs.
Problem is that I‘m sometimes hit with a lot of guilt and shame about my habits. (About getting unnecessarily *** up at a party or waisting too much time hungover for example.) In those moments I decide to cut down, but I never do. This adds a new layer of frustration and shame.
I feel like I yo-yo between feeling like I’m heading to a problem and feeling like everything is actually alright.
Sorry for the long text but if anyone with experience could tell me, either not to worry or to seriously cut down?
@energeticLake9704 Well you’re in the habit of using substances to have fun. Drugs are not really good for your mind and body. Will it “seriously” mess you up? Maybe not, or at least not all at once. In 30 years you may not even notice. But you may miss out on having fun without drugs. You may miss out on developing a connection with yourself and others that could be more rewarding. Something inside yourself is telling you that what you’re doing might not be a good idea. If you don’t listen to that voice you may regret it later. Maybe look at your aspirations and relationships and ask yourself if maybe the drugs and alcohol is just a way to “give up” on what you really want. Are the people you party with really there for you, or would they choose partying over you. Are you there for them?
