Great story man. Remember to always be ready to take a step back and evaluate your life... un-moderated video games can be harmful in an unbalanced life as well. | ||

Despite all the rhetoric you might hear, most things are fine in moderation, it's only when you can't moderate that you have problems. This statement is true for our beloved TL as well. If this site were unmoderated..well who knows what TL would look like but 4chanSC2 prolly isn't too far off. If it were too heavily moderated..I think a lot of users wouldn't even bother posting. Just balance. Rough day? Maybe smoke a joint. Back pain? Maybe chill out and snoot a perc or however you like to take em. If you can't handle doing something in moderation then it's definitely better to NOT do it, but kicking one habit for another and fearing your old ways will not allow you to conquer addiction. Small side note, the oxy you threw in parenthesis really threw me off, I wouldn't be surprised if you got flamed on the grounds of thinking perc=oxycontin (which would be a whole different issue), but I'm sure you were just referring to it's oxycodone name. | ||

I'm also one of those people, where I find something I like, indulge in it completely, and really don't do anything else. Since I graduated school I've been able to spread myself out a little more and that seems to be helping out my situation quite a bit.

Thanks for the respone, i agree with everything but some things are something you dont want to risk losing control of, weed is something if i went overboard with, which i have i dont think its that bad lol but if you let something thats easier to lose control of and also is a much worse situation, dont let it get to that by staying away. If you can keep it all under control moderation is key. Percocet is a brand that has oxycodone as the active drug. Oxycontin is a brand with Oxycodone as its active drug just with higher Mg. I was addicted to both i just took more percs, so if they are different they were the same fix for me. On a side note i will post something here when im bored, ive never had a blog or anthing of this. But i think it will be interesting. | ||

Blog incoming as soon as I can say that I've been clean for an amount of time that really means something. So far, SC2 is the main thing saving my life at this point as its the only reason I've been able to curtail use of drugs at all and I'm dealing with the worst of the worst (not Meth at least, the other worst drug): Heroin. Its cheap, its available and my dealer is always willing to front me. If i can get support from others like me I know it will help me Expedite the process of getting completely off the shit much faster. | ||
