Addict Quiz

I thought that this quiz might be a help to some on the forum.

I took it.

Do you think that if you really answer more then 3 you are an addict?

Or is this something you should discuss with a professional?

Hmmm. I answered yes to almost every one.....

Whew . . . . I'm okay.

I don't believe that if you answer more than three you should seek help lol.

I ticked one yes box.

I had 6 yes's

OMG

Have you ever lied about what or how much you drink or use drugs?

Yes.

That's my only yes though.

Same here.

I got all nos .

All guys. I guess girls don't have any drug problems. LOL>

Pssshhh, no to all.

I answered Yes to 3 questions. I'm an addict

gawd...I checked almost all of them -yes-


party time!!

in general, addicts refuse to admit that they're addicted to something. they're in denial. the fact that you all were at least willing to admit it shows that you're not as severely drawn in as some are. still, getting help would be a good idea.


and i got all no's. my family has had a bad history with alcoholism, so i vowed from an early age never to get involved in alcohol OR drugs.

Or maybe we are just hiding behind a facade of humour, pretending we have a problem, knowing deep down that we do not and therefore that we do.

Did I make sense? I'm confused

I had all "no" answers. Now if the questions would have been about chocolate, it would have been a whole different outcome. LOL

Uhhhhh... I don't exactly drink or use drugs...

Drugies and alcoholics.

I think not.

It depends on if it interferes with your work life and home life

I am not saying we need to get help. Oh dear lord maybe we should.

MMMMMMMMMM chocalate.

Yes that would be super duper addict quiz.

I love PA more then anything. I would have answered yes to all then.

< right here lies a PA addict.

I'm happy to say I answered 'No' to all of them.

I thought this thread would have been about people addicted to UM.

So what if people are addicted... If you watchTV everyday are you addicted to that... maybe???

Like someone else said if it effects people around you in a negative way then you may need to address it - if not - forget it...

Yes - I am an addict

My thoughts exactly.

You know, I hate those {parents,breathing,eating,sleeping,everydaylife,whatever it is,} the anti-drug.

Nothing is anti. My father is a strict non-alcoholic guy, super A/A man, and I can't be seeing the anti- whatever in him. I see nothing in the anti whatever in me. Nothing is anti-drug.

It's not a person, not a thing, not an idea, it was always you, it was always me, and I was never against that.

It was because I don't know you, and yeah I don't know myself and I was learning as you would. Anti this and anti that, makes no difference, it takes an important amount of energy to be against something or someone > somewhere.

Start from neutral, and if your against something/someone/somewhere it is because it was a voluntary and inevitable force that drives you to do what you do, it doesn't mean your not capable of stopping it before you are against it.

Don't let it be you.

Anti-addiction is not worse than making someone you love an anti-drug, when your alone and "they" whoever they are don't know. You know you don't have to lie because you don't have to tell them the truth.

You can be an anti-addict.

But don't ever be an anti-drug.

Who's asking about you being the anti-drug when you ARE the drug once it's inside of you?

I did.....i think i masterbate too much....HAHAH i think everybody masterbates too much. LOL

You mean your addicted, and your not against it, but at the same time you can't help it and won't admit your addicted. You won't lie about it, but when you say you think everybody masterbates too much,

dude, your wrong. Not everybody masterbates too much.

really it's just a little joke....truely i am addicted to life.

I answered 6 yes...

Ah well, I have an excuse. I'm a bored teenager

ahh thats a poor excuse for being a teenager....sounds like somebody needs to find better hobbies. If drugs are presented to you....you have 2 choices...either yes or no...excuse or no excuse the choice... you made.

Dude I said yes out of pure curiosity, and nearly screwed up completely at school. I still don't really regret it though.

yea, well nothing is wrong with he decision....somethings are good to be addicted to....such things as hobbies...and marijuana just my personal opinion. LOL but i'd say anything like crack, cocaine, crank, and herion are drugs that take your soul. Addictions are just mental stages that occure in your life, and some addictions take alot of personal recognition to fix. I know this from true experience with cocaine.

see now...

how is weed um "better" (for a lack of words) than coke, crack etc etc?

I never understood how people (people I know anyway) could wake and bake and smoke all day or even occasionally had any right to point a finger at me for once or twice (or 100 times ) OR occasionally doing coke. A drug is a drug.

*gets off her soap box*

sorry, I needed to vent


ok back on topic

well cocaine is a high addictive drug....and it doesn't last as long as marijuana.....and it costs more for a gram the anyhting else i can think of...besides hash oil.

doesn't make it better

but yes I do agree, it's hard on the $

Blow is cheap where I live. Weed isn't.

I agree. I used to have a coke problem and it was very hard to shake it. But I've kinda replaced coke with weed, but oh well! At least now I don't get nosebleeds or get sick in the morning.
Coke also makes you lose weight like crazy. Weed kinda made me gain weight with all the munchin' on stuff.

You admit there are/is addiction that is good. I disagree. I don't think any addiction is good. I always thought any addiction was not good. The Robert Palmer song 'Addicted to love' is bad. Addicted to life is bad. Addicted to Snoopy is bad. Addicted to air is bad. Addicted to breathing is bad. Addicted to anything/anyone/anywhere is bad.

All addictions are bad. The anti-drug commercial with this one kid who was talking about this and that> who said he quit drugs and now hes addicted to what > life> something>
that was bad.

Anything you teach a kid/teenager that, is a bad excuse. It's saying, you should be addicted to football, or hockey, or bicycles, not drugs or smoking cigarettes or alcohol.

O.K.?

I'm an alcoholic, and I hate AA. You know why? It's because when someone gets up to the podium and says Hello my name is " <><><>" and says Ive been sober for ** years, and I'm an alcoholic.

Yeah, all that "state of mind" bull sh**, doesn't work, your addicted or you not.
My fathers AA attitude sucks even worse, it's you either drink, or you don't touch one drop. You touch one drop, your screwed.& thats it. Your screwed/screwed/screwed. Your life will drain, your money, your popularity, your health, everything. Your soul.( Iknow Xtortionist your right about one thing, the soul thing.) Don't think marijuana doesn't do it to your soul, it does.

You know what it's true. But you know what, it's not my attitude. My attitude is that any addiction is that. IF your addicted your screwed. Your attatched. One peice of your soul drains.

Guess I'm going to have to seek some professional help......

.

My last post was kind of a response to this... "Addictions are just mental stages that occur in your life", well, that is what they teach in AA basically and it sucks. They go through the whole weening thing though, and my dad is more of a guillotine.

If it's not milking a cow in one end with strangers in society, ( telling you "hello I'm an alcoholic, and I'm sober > all that state of mind b.s.), it's my dad.

Cut the head off!!! THUD!!! So I'm in the *middle alcoholic*.
Marijuana is not good to be addicted to, because it is like a hobbie to some people, that is why it's a problem. You can get jealous of other people doing a more potent type. I used to go through it all the time.

For example, lets say cars are like marijuana and it's a hobby.

Do you think I like seeing people driving Bentlies,Ferraries,Hummers,Lotuses,Lamborghinis(longheld childhood dream),Porches, when I drive a Subaru hatchback?The answer is no.
I don't....

So what happens, I go out and get a really potent powerful kind of weed, and a really expensive bottle of something ( Benedictine), and I smoke and drink by myself and think of all the STRAIGHT people who drive>

Bentlies,Ferraries,Hummers,Lotuses,Lamborghinies(longheld childhood dream),Porches.

How do I know those people are straight??

I don't.

So what is it a hobby?

No, you get jealous.

Simple as that.

It's addiction, it's bad, and all addictions take personal recognition to fix.

*It makes you feel like you live in "The Matrix" and you don't want out. It's a personal war.*

*Sometimes I feel like I'm in a subway station that never ends.*

wow, nicely put

...and the point I failed to make

Thanks, I was going to start a new topic that had a merge of "Disinterested"'s "Whats wrong with society?" and this one.

It's about the message of the "anit-drug" universe that some ( adults? ) are spreading to some younger people. I disagree with it. The idea I have is to spread awareness the way you would about HIV. Spread awareness, don't push a message of being against something or someone. Being against something or someone can cause ....... how do I say it........ abrasiveness in vulnerable maturing minds from a certain age. Probably any. I am working on it.

Haha, you overthinked it man, yes, overthinked, not overthought.

yay im not...hahah!

A facade of humor? That would have to be a facade of what an addict thinks is so funny that they can't hide the denial and pretty much don't care to anymore. Laughing on the inside to the point it hurts, then moving on to the drug ( or whatever ) to quell and quiet that bitter humor about oneself to the point it dissapears.

Then when you "come -down" what happens, it's not funny anymore and it hits you hard.
When your done you move on, and you think it's over, and it's not over.

So like what Ms.Ashes said, --- it's denial.

*Note, it's a song by A Perfect Circle, called "The Outsider" which is just about as close you can get to a song about the issue. Because it isn't about the addict, it's about the one(straight person who knows you) who can help the addict and just blows them off because of the careless-ness they show. Then therefore the straight one shows the same feelings like in some "revenge" type behavior.*

As bad as that sounds it's true, it happens. I mean it happens to me once in a while.

yes to at least 4 of them ..

... i'm not saying which ones.

I was once addicted to painkillers, I convinced myself every day (for over 6 years) morning, noon & night I needed them (co-codamol) untill one day I took them on an empty stomach and they had me talking to god on the big white telephone for ages, from that day forward I never so much as looked at a sheet again.

Funny how afterwards I never felt a headache ever since!
