My belief is that is perfectly acceptable to have a vice. As long as it makes you feel better, relaxed, calm, etc. The only problem is that if your like me, this can turn into addiction. I think it makes you a real human being to have that one crutch or need. Nobody is perfect. If you quit smoking (which I choose to be my vice) try to find a positive,a way of growing or maturing as a human being. I wish you luck.

Advice About Drug Addiction?
Question by mickey: Advice about drug addiction?
Hi my name is micky. I had a severe drinking problem and last November decided to go to rehab. After being in rehab for a few days I met a wonderful lady who was only going through the detox part of the time. When she left detox after one week, I remained in rehab and we started seeing each other. After leaving rehab I moved in with her. After about a month we started snorting oxycontin then six months later doing needles, just me and her. We finally ended up getting cotton fever, rushing to the hospital and then I found out that I had Hep C. Despite this, our drug use escalated. As we spent all our money and the withdrawals got worse and worse, I suggested we go on methadone. Being on methadone, I missed the oxy high and started mainlining crack, which I had experienced before. My girlfriend had never done crack and although I urged her not to, I understood how badly she wanted to get any kind of high possible. Now that we’ve been on methadone for three months, she has decided to go to treatment, which is taking more time than expected. She doesn’t want to stay with me anymore because the crack use is driving her insane. If it’s there she wants it, then is mad at herself for using again. I myself can use occasionally. I love her with all my heart and want the best for her but I also want her with or without the drug use. Is there an easy solution to this problem that doesn’t involve us breaking up or continuing to abuse drugs.
Any comments are appreciated.
