Can I successfully take benzos "every once in a while"

I don't know much about them except for the fact that I love not giving a fuck in public or at work (I don't overdue it or mix anything). They're so cheap though, I'm just wondering if addiction is almost guaranteed or not. I don't trust myself to do meth or heroin. So far so good with adderall in terms of keeping it very moderate. Used to smoke cigs but quit. Smoke weed every day unfortunately. I'll have my booze binges but it's not really my DOC, I go clean for months at a time with it too.

Do you think I can take xanax on special occasions where I just want to loosen up? Or should I steer clear with these intentions?

I take benzos on special occasions and have been for a while now, I wouldn't consider myself addicted but it's a slippery slope and I always make sure I don't do consecutive days

Yes, it's possible to pop an occasional xanax and not get addicted. Just make it a point to never take it for more than a day at a stretch. It's when you start making it a habit and it becomes a normal part of your everyday life that it starts to become a problem. A few times a year on special occasions, though, is actually pretty much concurrent with the intended pattern of use for xanax; so there's really not much harm in sparing, infrequent consumption.

Why do u consider it unfortunate that you smoke weed every day.thats pretty fortunate if u like weed

I would do benzos every few months because I don't like downers and definitely not Xanax even though I used to sell alot of it. It wasn't more because of special occasions but more when I was feeling down and wanted to forget the situation. If you enjoy benzos and are able to control your urges, then yes, you can. If you don't go on a binge lasting a few days, you shouldn't have an issue controlling it

you sound like a total legit dude. You sound totally normal and by normal i mean among a crowd of peers who aren't easily tricked by propaganda, interested in experiencing all life has to offer, and aren't scared by the disobeying stupid laws and rules.

don't take 3 bars every day for multiple days in a row and you'll be totally fine.

Depends on the Benzo, and you. I get prescribed Ativan (2mg) for anxiety, have for a long time. I just take it when I get really anxious, and it calms me down. If I take it any other time I don't really feel it much.

Xanax I've been prescribed for panic attacks, though I don't like it as much because it knocks me out more than Ativan. But If I want to fall asleep quick at night, a xanax and a glass of Malbec let's me sleep like a baby.

I've tried bromazepam and diazepam, didn't really do much for me. But honestly, all these drugs affect people differently. So it might take you trying some different benzos before you even find one that works well for you.

I personally don't see how people can get addicted to benzos, though I know it happens. I imagine it's much easier to quit than something like opiates though.

Not sure this helps, but it's my experience.

I use xanax as a forget me not when I have a bad day and can't get my mind off what happened. I binge on it but I did some fucked up shit while on bars so barred out me knows not to do stupid shit while fucked up anymore. So I take bars and pass out, 3mg has me knocked out for 12hrs, 4mg 18hrs, 6mg 24hrs and 6+ I don't pass out I just get super barred and can't move.

If you have the willpower, you can resist any urge to abuse it. It's all up to you

I was heavily addicted to xanax for a while, quit for a few months. Now I might take one or two a week but I am in a better state of mind to not let it control me.

Yes it's 100℅ possible. However ask yourself do you have an addictive personality? When you like something do you compulsively indulge in it? If so stay the fuck away for real. If not though the occasional Xanax is great :) a friend of mine takes half a bar on Friday and half a bar Saturday night and has never had an physical issues or withdrawals. She has said she gets tempted no and again to do it during the week but hasn't so it is possible :) you just gotta have the willpower. Or not get bored easy. Lol

I can't, do anyway, don't count on the internet to deliver before WD sets in keep Clonazepam around, you'll need it eventually

I only take it from coming off an acid trip or when I fly, I see no recreational value in it, I don't like paying to be tired lmao
