Are you addicted to nicotine or any other drug?

Question

HawkPerception · Accepted Answer

I had a surgery about 10-ish years ago to remove a bone tumor. I was strongly against having any artificial medications, but they gave me a bottle of oxycodone. I dealt with the pain for about 2 weeks, but the pain was preventing me from sleeping and I could not even move my leg without being in excruciating pain. After 2 weeks I gave in. I popped a pill. It was probably the best sensation I've felt. Better than any alcohol I've had. I felt no pain and felt like nothing I did mattered. My worries left me. It's as if all the stress in my brain was turned off. Someone could have slapped me and I could've just smiled at them. Almost like an enlightened version of me. The thing is, the sensation kinda snuck up on me, so I almost didn't realize I was high from it, until I reflected on the feelings I had later.

But after that one experience, I got addicted to that feeling. I wanted more and more. Then I didn't feel it from one of them, so I started popping 2 of them at a time. I never increased it from that because I was still conscious of the potential side effects, but I was definitely addicted to it. I cleaned that bottle pretty fast and every time now, even years later when someone mentions oxycodone, I want it. I never go out of my way to pay for drugs other than alcohol socially, but that drug definitely had me by the balls when I had it.

Certainly not nicotine , gave up in 1992 , can't believe I ever did that.
Honestly probably caffeine yes , and alcohol, I've cut right down on both , will not drink till at least 7pm , and must be complete prior to 10pm , but a functioning alcoholic only has to consume 30 plus ( standard drinks ) per week , a bottle of gin is 22 , so I'm very conscious of those numbers.

I'd really like to be zero on alcohol , but I'm a functioning addict if the truth be known , despite the sport and all else.

Due to the reverse nature of how I react to tea I would say no. And give myself a pass. I can't sleep without my last cup, but it does not wake me as a stimulant would. But benadryl doesn't make me sleepy as it does most, and the rare use if an asthma inhaler does, when it wakes most people up. I am an oddity.

Not anymore, former alcoholic and drug user, now I just indulge in a whole lot of coffee, drink a glass of wine & smoke some hashish - but no addictions.

It may not classify as an addiction, but I drink coffee and iced tea almost every day.

Staximus · Answer

I smoke like 5 to 10 cigarettes on my days off. I only smoke 1 or 2 max at work, even though I basically have 6 hours of smoking time. I go all day sometimes without a cigarette, if I'm busy then I don't think about it. I smoke weed, but it's kind of the same. I can forget about it all day. On my days off I don't want to smoke cigarettes if I haven't smoked weed, unless I'm drunk. I am rarely drunk , even though I drink a couple shots or beers every day after work. I guess I'm the model of self-control.

I dont have an addictive personality. I have an obsessive personality though, I might seem addicted to something for a month or two but eventually I lose all interest in it. I used nicotine for a couple of months multiple times a day and then just stopped. No withdrawal symptoms besides agitation.
