Title: Once an addict, always an addict?
Post by: Rastaman Vibration on July 07, 2013, 09:27 pm
Do you think its possible for someone who has been addicted to a drug to ever be able to use that drug again casually?

You know its an intresting question the short answer is "No" but, ultimately, there is a lot more that goes into that answer than what you see at the surface. People can be into drugs for all kinds of reasons for instance I use pain killers for two reasons:

1) They get rid of my chronic pain
2) They Relax me

I notice when I have less pain and I take a pain relief I get more "high" from it and I use a lot less of it to do so, but when I'm in pain I use a lot more just to feel normal.....

so its an odd dynamic, with many onion layers and each individual story is different.

I say yes, but wouldn't advise it. Certainly only after a long time has passed.

Yes. But only once the patterning that held the previous addiction in place has been transformed and/or transcended. And that is not a casual matter. But entirely doable for sure.
