Drug Addiction Question\Problem?
Question by Crystl: Drug addiction question\problem?
I’ve always been into loratab, percoset,etc.. not everyday but used to real bad in the past. Well my brother who is a heroin addict had some and said a small line would give me the loratab feeling but would last all day. That’s been a month ago, now I’m using everyday and today when I couldn’t get any I felt horrible! I want to stop but I am having the hard time of having to go though withdraws and now loratabs won’t even work on me on top of if! I really just need some encouraging advice, also NO ONE but me and the dealer knows about this. My brother doesn’t even know that I’ve continued to do it. How long will it take to feel better if I stop? And I see a psychologist so can they help me with a medicine to ease the pain? Please no put downs. Thanks

Drug/ Alcohol Addiction: Do You Think Its Genetic?
Question by fgdhfghr: Drug/ Alcohol addiction: Do you think its genetic?
I have had alcohol. I even got drunk when I was a teen from peer pressure. But now as an adult, I rarely drink…..no desire to. I have also used narcotic pain killers after surgery and never had the desire to continue using them once the pain was gone which was usually within a week. It must be something in my genes. I know so many people addicted to drugs and alcohol. I think if we could find the addiction genes, we could wipe out addiction. What do you think?
Best answer:
Answer by porwest
I do believe there are genetics at play. But at the end of the day people also make choices.

Kind of. Weak willpower can be inherited. Addicted people are making excuses for themselves. If you can’t go without, don’t try it.
