Switching Addictions

Although most of us have our DOC even though some don't like that term, many here dabbled with different drugs. When i was in college i did drink too much, but now i don't have any cravings or desire to drink as it still sometimes sets off coke cravings and i hate the drunk buzz. I switched from booze to weed, a few pills along with some other street drugs over the years. Although my addict behaviour had not peaked and at that point I had no idea i was an addict, just always over did my partying and liked to have fun. Then i found cocaine and it grabbed me so fast to where i could not stop, it was impossible without help. I have to admit that after my overdose and i was put on oxy's awhile when my ribs popped, that oxy buzz helped me get through coke cravings  as bad as that sounds. I think if i would have had continued access and the dr would have kept refilling i would have switced addictions to oxy's. I hated them at first, they made me sick, but after a few weeks, i would take one and started to get energy. Although I am a cocaine addict, there have been times i switced addictions to help me quit coke, how sick is that? I wanted to know if some of you here have switched addictions during your drug use or if you still are?

I am all for N/A, i really am. Although i did not work the steps and did not do it their way I am clean today. I would recommend working the steps to anyone, it's a great program, but my problem was the fact many there were court ordered and did not want to be there. Also the fact some tried selling dope after. I met some amazing people in there and a few i still talk to, but i had to stay away from the obsessed ones that turned their addiction to N/A as they only had one belief and pushed it on everyone. My recovery works here at this desk, maybe it's not the right way, but it's my way and I am clean.

P.S. Ty for the laugh. I can tell you get a joy out of life. take care and keep working your recovery.
