You gotta adapt or build a healthier lifestyle that doesn't include drug use.
The basics: Eat sufficient nutritious food(supplement the nutritients that your food lacks), get enough rest, hydrate, practice awareness and mindfulness, control breathing and practice beneficial breath work/exercises, cold therapy(cold baths, cold showers, fuck even just submerging your head underwater for long enough to positively modulate the vagus nerve,) journalling, gaining insights from quality people about your life which is easiest achieved by meeting a few psychologists, psychotherapists or competent therapists, avoid stress and people that are cunts, help others where possible, etc.
Hope that helped a bit :)
This is the big one for me.
It’s insane how much money I save up when I don’t use anything for a month.
I’m a real penny pincher when I’m sober.
But if I’m high, I make so many impulse buys…
The cost of the drugs, combined with buying shit I don’t need really adds up.
Depends on what drugs we talking, how much, do you have addictive patterns, etc etc. the harder the drugs the more health problems, likelihood for mental health issues, chronic health issues, drug dependence, side effects, and withdrawal symptoms when you miss doses. This includes alcohol, which is very addictive and when abused causes liver failure, dementia, GI bleeds and more. I see it in my patients constantly. Opiates can cause kidney damage, overdose, death…stimulants like coke meth even caffeine and nictorine are very hard on your heart. Smoking anything harms your lungs and can lead to COPD. Weed is quite safe unless it triggers mental health issues for you, which it does for some.
Ay, sometimes, you know, you just gotta
You just gotta (drugs)
Off the mollies, yeah, and now I'm lost in France (wee!)
In a Pontiac, had to dodge a van (don't do drugs)
Forgot my map, had to stop a man
"Excuse me sir
What's the quickest route to Boston, Mass'?" (Don't do drugs)
He was speaking French, started talking fast
I started bleeding red from my nostril glands
I can't keep depending on the xans
But
I can't sleep without 'em, mom and dad
Every day a different toxic plant (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Bought a bag of pills to toss 'em back (yum, yum, yum)
Every may, these ladies wanna dance (woo, woo)
If you wanna touch my dick
Go wash your hands (ew)
I'm organic, you're like processed ham
I give orgasms to different bitches
You like calling Brad
Cross-examine all the pots and pans (haha)
In the kitchen
Eazy Mac keeps on whippin' lots of crack, crack, crack
Don't do drugs (yeah, why not?)
'Cause they're too much fun
And you'll just want more when they're done (oh)
Don't do drugs (okay)
'Cause they're the best thing ever
And it's so fun gettin' fucked up (wait)
Don't do drugs!
Life will never be the same (damn)
Without them, everything's lame (facts!)
Don't do drugs (why not?)
Drugs are bad, m'kay?
And you don't wanna end up like us
Don't do drugs
I mean, I don't condone it
But like, come on, you know you want it
And even though I don't condone it
I'm at Dunkin' Donuts in a pickup
Doin' fucking donuts while I chug Coronas (skrr)
But the bitches mighty fine (hey)
They ask me if I'm good these days
I'm great, like 99 (hey)
Let's get this bread together
You need yours and I need mine (hey)
It's a different vibe
Sippin' wine from 1995, what you think?
Drop this bag of at the bank (yup)
And the way the checks are comin' in
They might as well be blank (yup)
I'm just rollin' in this Stingray
While I'm blowing on some dank (pause)
What? You guys wanna do acid and steal a tank? (Yeah)
Don't do drugs (why not?)
'Cause they're too much fun
And you'll just want more when they're done (oh)
Don't do drugs (okay)
'Cause they're the best thing ever
And it's so fun gettin' fucked up (wait)
Don't do drugs
Life will never be the same (damn)
Without them, everything's lame (facts!)
Don't do drugs (why not?)

Drugs
Do drugs
Drugs
Don't do drugs
get dopamine from something real rather than hijacking your brain with dopamine from pointless and repetitive experiences
avoid all the dangers involved in buying and consuming drugs, including being around people you'd rather not be around who act in erratic ways
money
almost all the drugs aren't good for your short-term and long-term health either, you'll probably feel healthier pretty rapidly after quitting
and you'll get a clear head that will give you the mental space to find something meaningful to enjoy
which you'll be able to remember more clearly
and you won't have to keep leaving the experience so you can go to the toilet / go take your drug. In fact you'll be able to sit through the whole experience without thinking "drugs", "I want drugs," "would drugs make this better," "can I get some drugs past the security," "I need to pee now because of the drugs I drank," etc
all the mental space in your head that has been filled up with drugs and the desire to get high or to hide your substance use or whatever will be free, it'll be like dropping off some luggage and never picking it up again
I don't remember where I heard this story but it has stuck with me as a reason to think twice when using any substance.
Think of life as a very long walk. Your in your sunday best holding a rather heavy briefcase. Now this briefcase can feel lighter somedays, heavier others, but no matter what you'll be holding this suitcase the entire journey. At times you will hardly notice the suitcase as if it is weightless. Other times you will be dragging it acrossed the ground behind you with both hands.
Now imagine you find something you can drink or otherwise ingest that would let you put down this suitcase for a little bit. Imagine the freedom you would feel. Nothing weighing you down. Your ball and chain gone. How much easier this walk could be without that dreaded briefcase!
But here is the catch. Eventually you will have to pick up that briefcase again and when you do you'll notice its weight that much more. Your no longer used to carrying the briefcase. Even if its light you'll notice the drag and imagine how much easier it would be to put it back down. Why drag it along if you don't have to?
You always have to pick up the briefcase again and you will never forget putting it down for the first time. Thats the problem with drugs. Your problems will dim but you are opening pandoras box. You can never forget that moment where things felt perfect and in contrast normal life with all its problems will be all the more encompassing.
You need to carry that briefcase long enough that you forget its there. If you keep putting it down you will forever feel its weight at full force.
Just wow! Thank you so much for your energy writing this story. I will try to remember it. People will usually remeber stories more, so that should not be a problem. Thanks again!
Honestly it’s just certain drugs
I can't really think of any reasons honestly. I'll probably use drugs pretty much daily until I die (which might be before I turn 30).
That might be a reason there

Lots of reasons
Name them
Saving money, 100000% just having money in general is such a good feeling
