Drugs issue..?
 
Sorry if this is in the wrong section, feel free to move it.

So lately, I've been using drugs (marijuana, coke, cigarettes, and a few others) and I have a kind of obvious question..? Does it mean I'm addicted if I can stop any time I want, but the only time I feel good is when I'm using?

Sorry if it's obvious or dumb but I don't trust myself.

Thanks

I don't know if you're addicted. I guess you'll only know when you try to stop, or if they start affecting your day-to-day life.

But either way, drugs are dangerous. I'm sure you don't need me to say it, but they can seriously affect your mental health, and make you more paranoid etc.

Drugs aren't the answer to your problems any more than alcohol or cutting.
Have you thought about trying to stop?

i know this is a pretty old thread but i was and still kinda am in the same situation as you.
one phrase i will never ever forget though is "addiction gets everyone eventually" meaning that although you're not addicted now, if you carry on using, you almost certainly will become an addict at some point!
it helps me to keep that in mind if i can feel myself weakening
good luck

i know how you fell i use to do tons of drugs because i felt normal on them. i could take on the world. i quit when i fell preg with my oldest that was around 6 years ago. i gave them up so easily but i still to this day think about buying some just to feel able to cope. quitting the drugs is easy its the living without them that is hard, make sure when you decide to quit that you have people to help you keep on top of things like paying bill buying food and to try keep you happy or you could have a mental breakdown like i did.
