yeah, I noticed something was wrong when I stopped every night coming home from AA and buying two pints of Haggen-Daz ice cream and ate it every bite before bed.

I heard/read that many alcoholics are hypoglycemic http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypoglycemia and that if sugar levels can be controlled you have a much better chance of staying off booze.

hello Nick05,
It isn't so much you are addicted to it, it is because of the down time between doses that make you need more and more each time you take it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MDMA
One theory of serotonin-depletion arising out of long-term MDMA use is receptor down-regulation which is one form of synaptic plasticity. When any neurotransmitter is present in excess for prolonged periods of time, the brain responds in an attempt to reestablish its own natural neuro-electrical balance. Weekly use of MDMA over a prolonged period may actually cause serotonin receptors to retreat into the dendrite of serotonin nerve cells. The change in synaptic serotonin concentration due to recreational MDMA use is at the extreme end of what is even possible in the brain and therefore, down-regulation could occur fairly easily with regular use.
This process causes the brain to become desensitized to the neurotransmitters present in the synapses and therefore also to the effects of MDMA itself. Therefore, in addition to a generally decreased quality of mood between doses[citation needed], greater amounts of MDMA are required to achieve the same level of desired effects. It is this cycle that is often believed to be the cause of long-term emotional problems among regular ecstasy users |

I've been sober for 11 years.
I did not do a 12-step program. I beat alcoholism with a mixture of logic and stubbornness. I have gone to a couple of AA meetings, either to accompany a friend or to remind myself (as the years of sobriety pile up and I forget how bad things were) why I need to stay sober and stay vigilant against a complacent attitude that could allow a relapse.
I am not a sponsor by any means but I am willing to discuss either here or via PM some things that helped me to quit.
I was only ever addicted to alcohol, so I can't field any other drug dependency questions from my own personal experience. |

I have many years of drug use/abuse behind me, in addition to
that i have studied and read alot about it, so i have both the
experiences and the textbook stuff. Without going into to much
deatil, its never nice to remenis about those parts of my past, i can say
i have done all the "usual" stuff + some of the more exotic ones, over
long periods of time, both hard abuse with od`s and experimenting
with it to try to understand and beat the demons. Its all behind me, would not
go back no matter what. I notice in some of the books i read, that
some of the info is a little inacurate or just wrong compaired to real life
experiences. I came out in one piece without going nuts and most things
have adjusted back to "normal". If any of my experiences can be of help
to someone, let me know, then maybe some good can come out of all
the years with..well, pretty much just pain, stress and bad memories haunting
me to this day.
And of course, by doing this i also lived inside these types of "cultures", the freak
side of life, hanging around people who downed to much of everything, observing,
analyzing, trying to learn, understand and avoid mistakes, and as time went by,
simply trying to survive from day to day and not feel. |

You're not a pig at all! 2 slices of pizza is NOTHING! I can inhale an entire medium!
2 pieces of pizza can barely fill me up at all.
As living things, we have to eat. Don't feel bad about fulfilling the very essence of life!
Damn! I could go for a pizza right now! I'm calling Dominos! |

I'm in relapse mode right now. Drinking was my only friend when it came to getting outta that tight box just to socialize or enjoy anything.
I just wish I could go back to that first drink before it got me into so much trouble. Sobriety is a real slap in the face dammit!!

You ain't lyin', MissConstrue.
For all you reading this, just wait till you have kids. If you ever do.
I' try my hardest, and I don't even drink every day. I'm not the kind who wakes up every morning looking for a drink, but, when I'm faced with the stress of socializing with relatives I haven't seen in 2 yrs....and my kids are running around the house making loud noises and I feel like I'm not being in control (before I even take a drink), I feel like grabbing a beer or a glass of wine...... then that little drink takes me to relief and ease.
Damn it Alcohol !!!!! You suck!!! But, damnit, you're also a good friend of mine.
