Success Happy

Can a person do drugs like coke and E and still live a happy and successful life?

Thanks. It does depend on the person. I'm a recovering addict. I'm worried when I move back to my hometown it will start all over again. But I hate to admit I don't have the will power to control myself. Thanks again.

1. Not for long.
2. Highly unlikely. People who are happy and successful generally have high self esteem and motivation, characteristics which drug users commonly lack.
3. Why can't they? They might have health problems down the line but that shouldn't stop them from their goals.
4. That depends on how they define a happy and successful life. If a happy and successful life includes being addicted to coke and abusing E then yes, Success. If a happy and successful life means not being addicted to coke and abusing E, then sadly, No.
5. It depends on how frequent and heavy usage is. I would say occasional E is safer than occasional coke, but by that I mean a couple of times a year, not a few times a week or month which would be considered regular to heavy usage.
6. 5% chance. you'll spend all your money on it, giving you money problems. either you go nearly homeless and bills not being payed, or, you try and go without them and barf and feel horribly. may i suggest watching VH1's celeb rehab. itll change your mind.
7. up untill you burn holes in your brain and all your teeth rot out. and you develop some type of untreatable cancer. then, it all starts to go downhill.
8. Yes they can. It also depends on what your definition of 'do drugs' is here. Occasional use is not uncommon with people of any level of accomplishments. But occasional use can turn to daily use as well. It really depends on the person's willpower and wether they're simple able to say 'that's enough. I don't need anymore right now'.
9. Absolutely! My sister did coke and a whole lot of other drugs when she was younger. My definition of a successful life is very different than hers, but we all have our own opinions (I've never done drugs and I don't even have a life). She has two beautiful kids who are really smart and great to be around! She also has a very successful job working for the municipal city police. Figure that!
10. Sure ! But you will first have to sell the stuff so you can buy yourself a hospital they can treat you in each time you get too wired, hire guards to keep you safe from all those wanting to be you and taking your money THEN build an ARMY so you can keep the FBI, DEA, INTERPOL, and other law agencies at bay, but "yeah" you can live a happy and successful SHORT life.

11. If you can stay away from the addictions, past drug problems will not ruin your future. If you are concerned about moving back to your hometown and using, then please get help. There is a difference between occasional "recreational use" VS addiction, and you let on, you have no will power which equals addiction. Please, get help sweetie, personally, almost ruined life myself. But had support/and will power to be better. Good luck! (email me, if you'd like. . I will be more specific, and helpful. )
