Do You Believe That Drug Addiction Is Filling a Void?
Question by Theory: do you believe that drug addiction is filling a void?
i believe that drug addiction is either a filler or a crutch. meaning, every drug addict is either using his drug of choice to fill a void in their life, OR to run away from something.
i know because i used to be a drug addict myself, and i’ve relapsed 2 days ago.
prior to relapsing i was clean for over a year. then suddenly a few weeks ago all my friends left me and my girlfriend left me (for unrelated reasons). both have no desire to talk to me.
i am turning 20 on saturday. i am alone and lost and depressed.
when i’m high on opiates i am totally okay with what’s going on in my life. when i’m not on opiates i sit on the computer miserable.

Well, I found on prescription Lortab that it wasn’t really fun. I took it for an injury, and needed it, but had some left over. Sometimes it would make me “happy” for about 15 or 20 minutes, but then I would just be tired. Yes, it DID numb my psyche–I didn’t feel emotional pain or “give a shit” when I took it.
I know when I lost a job, I sort of wished I had some pot or Lortab, but I didn’t go look for it and didn’t miss not having it. I got another job. I manage to “sleep off” my little depressed states and make the best of each day.

I think people use drugs to fill a hole in their life. They lack real happiness, and drugs either make you happy, make you feel good, or just completely make you forget about it. You have to control your train of thought. You don’t NEED drugs at all. Its just a want, an urge to use inside of you because your feeling down. Really, using is making it worse, because then your train of thought goes from being happy your high to “damn my life sucks” and the ONLY thing you can think about is depression and unhappiness, which makes you use more. Try filling it with a different hobby like working out so hard you go home so exhausted and tired, you don’t think about problems, you crash out on your bed. Sometimes its best to erase memories, some of your happiest memories can be your downfall. At least working out helped me get over some problems in my life.
