It reads like someone took a word for word dictation from Ozzy Osbourne, and what little advice it gives doesn't even work in the real world. I know this because it's the same advice they give to elementary school students, and we all know how well that works. And it's poorly written to boot. The author uses the word "drugs" 24 times in a 866 word essay. For comparison, that is as often as he used "the". So, this article is a boring, ineffectual, and less compelling collage of other peoples drug confessions, complete big, ugly seams. Fans of bad writing will love it.

Without talking seriously about what drugs you are referring to, you aren't really talking about anything at all. When I hear "drugs", I think of all drugs, which includes alcohol, caffeine, aspirin, etc. Without specifying which drugs you're talking about, you are essentially creating a propaganda piece and I can only assume that you haven't really come to terms with the real reasons why you decided to stop using "drugs".

I've been stuck on this shit 17 yrs now, and about 9 yrs ago left the scene, where every1 was one something. I now live a 'normal' life. I am what is considered a functioning addict and no one around me takes the stuff or knows I take it - but guess what? I'm still on it. My idea of a perfect Sunday morning is the paper, a coffee and a toot. No one pressures me yet i can't give up the stuff. I am prescribed methadone so it isn't the fear of physical withdrawl that makes me take it, it's just something about the buzz it gives me. I'm not slating this guy - hell, trying to stop smoking normal fags is hell so giving up a drug that gives you any pleasurable feelings is to be applauded. I just think maybe he should have written about what I assume is his drug of choice - cannabis - and not clumped drugs all together in one big category. resect for getting your shit together :-) What a crock, for a start, as many people have already pointed out, different drugs have different effects – you can’t just say ” I am addicted to drugs”

"Then I reached a stage where I realized that doing drugs was not and will never do me any good. This is when I realized that persisting with my habit will never lead me anywhere except to my downfall. It is where that I started to get away from this habit of doing drugs all the time. Now I would try and avoid the situations or the people who would do drugs." While Euphoria is technically using correct grammar, 99% of the sentence structure is extremely awkward, and he erratically switches tenses. I agree, digz;

“Once I got used doing drugs, slowly and slowly, the feeling of high that I used to get wasn’t there”

“This helped me in getting this feeling out of my mind.”
