Am I always bad for the bag

[Userfridaynight]

I'm 33 years old, turning 34 this August. I hold down a successful job, have been single for 7 years, have a bunch of friends that keep my social life busy, but I can't dispute the fact that I love getting a bag. It doesn't impact my life, in that i still keep a job and family/friends, but every weekend i order. Even if im by myself, i order: I want to stress that it is not impacting my work or social duties... but i feel like a slob after taking it and lower my self value purely on the basis that i take it. Is this an issue or still recreational?

A bag of what? Weed, coke, carrots…?

It's coke ...

How can you feel a slob after taking it. Aren’t you hyper?

I’d find a better hobby.

It's an issue if you are ordering it when you don't even have plans yes. Also if it's starting to dominate your nights out with friends.

I assume you are spending the following day lying about which is why you feel like a slob?

It sounds like you know it's a problem.

That is hugely worrying. I say this as someone that will occasionally have coke on a social setting. Maybe twice a year. Its not something you ahould have weekly (or at all). It wrecks your dopamine pathways, making it, overtime with regular use, incredibly difficult to produce natural dopamine.
This will eventually cause depression, emotional issues and other issues.

You need to stop before you cause significant irreparable damage to yourself.

Not only that people on coke are boring as fuck (I bore myself just by hearing the shite I say!)

You have to look at why you are taking it, really but I think coke use is quite damaging. The people I know who used it have a certain look and all of them were self-medicating.

It’s making you feel bad afterwards - that would be enough to make me rethink it.

I misread the the title and thought the OP had a designer bag habit!

Then I saw the topic...

I'll see myself out.

if you have medical insurance with your job then get yourself into an inpatient addiction treatment program. 28 days will change your life

I thought the same and will leave with you😂

You are deluding yourself if you think you can continue to casually use it . And the coming down is going to get worse . Never mind the low life you are dealing with to get it . Time to see what you need to do to stop this .

I feel a slob the 3-4 days after, then feel fine and get back on it. I can't explain it but I just take it weekly and crack on with it. Makes no sense, I know

I agree with what you're saying. I currently do take it regularly and feel fine, but I need some kind of slap on the face (from someone on here) to tell me it's not ok?

This comment has read my mind the most. You've nailed it. I do know it's a problem but it's not impacting me so was hoping someone would comment that has been in the same scenario and chat sense to me

I agree with what your saying. Going to give it the "easier said than done" because I damn love a bag. But hopefully one day I can go a drink without it

It will catch up with you and it has taking it on your own when not going out is not a good sign.
I took stimulant drug for 20+
it was at Northern soul all niters age 16 only took at niters to start then it was any weekend then on my own.
It will wreck your mental health and your risking your medical health
Stopped at 37.

Me saying in my original post that my bag orders doesn't impact my day-to-day, i hope lets you know that that it's me saying "I don't have a problem" ... ok is it will catch up with me. I know it's an issue. I am looking for people go have been through similar to give me words of experience. It sounds like you've been in my shoes? What advice/ story can you tell me? X

You know the way it makes you feel? The reality is vastly different. Hyper, waffling, boring and full of it is a much more accurate description. Get yourself around someone on a bender whilst you're sober, it'll be enlightening.

Hi user Friday night,I started on a quarter gram of speed at 16 to dance at niters then by 18 I was up to 3.5gram for the weekend staying up one night didn't cut it.
20 I was on 7gram every weekend mid 20s because of better connections within the niter scene I was on 7gram of base amphetamine (higher purity) every weekend.
The base amphetamine was a turning point
And the mental torture kicked in.

I started to take it own and very bizarre ideas would formulate overtime then later very strange behaviours.
Then psychosis would happen every time I took it,delusions of being watched,followed,imaginary conversations of hearing neighbours talking about me through walls
Being watched by the police via my TV🤣 sounds funny but very scary.
It wrecked my teeth costly repairs and pain.

I couldn't go on like that and cut contact with users,dealers,packed in the niter scene and came out the other side.

It's ace fun to start with and I had a bloody good time but I was writing cheques my body couldn't cash.
Well that's my story and wish you all the best with yours.

It is impacting you if you are feeling like a slob for 3-4 days. Why are you letting C steal 3-4 days a week from you?

Have you read Mad Girl by Bryony Gordon? Recommend.

I have been in your position. Like you I had everything together but would do it every week and once I’d had a drink couldn’t stop myself. Had one particularly heavy weekend and then a tough couple of days at work and all of a sudden I wasn’t ok. It has a habit of catching up with you.

I moved countries and completely changed my life, it was so engrained in my social life I’m not sure I would have been able to stop if I hadn’t made such a drastic change. It was only once I was away from it I could see the damage it was causing.

You know it’s a problem and how hard it’ll be to stop. Do you have any friends you can confide in and who can back you?

It is impacting your day-to-day though because you feel like a slob for 3-4 days after? So it’s impacting you for over half the week.

You’re an idiot. It will soon be every day. You’ll be skint and everyone will dump you.
I can guarantee you look like shit. It’s not under control. Who know what you’re putting up your nose by the time it’s been cut by the scum dealers.

Every weekend is obviously an issue and you don't even feel good for it...you know it's a problem or you wouldn't be asking. Find better ways to spend your time and money
