[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 609230, member: 14557"] How different substances make us feel is definitely individual and related to our body chemistry and 'wiring.' And how we react to those feelings depends deeply on our emotional and psychological state at the time. Despite having quite few addiction issues in the family tree, I have found out that I would probably not be a that good candidate for substance abuse. Okay, I like my liquor and the taste of many beverages. I even like to get myself drunk at times, have fun when tipsy and have been known to use alcohol to get by a time or two. But alcohol never gives me the buzz that would make me want to drink just because. I can see myself becoming an alcoholic if I would have some desperate sorrow to drown but it would be the situation there I would be ready to throw my life away first and alcohol would be just a way to access that goal. But with most drugs I don't feel anything. Painkillers work for pain but don't feel like anything more. Muscle relaxants work for muscles but don't even help with sleep. Sleeping pills don't even help with the sleep. Pot just smells bad and does nothing. Benzoes do relax and make me feel sleepy but also yucky. So absolutely no reason to even try to use any of those at least to something not needed. I mean, I take a painkillers when it hurts, muscle relaxant when my head doesn't turn, benzo if some medical operation requires it, but I have absolutely no reason to take them just because. I do know that for many people those drugs feel decidedly different. Or they wouldn't start to use them for fun. [/QUOTE]
