Where do you stand with drugs ?

Are you really doing fine ?

You’ve been using substances (lawful or unlawful) to party for a few weeks, months or years, more or less regularly depending on the time…

A few landmarks to help you get a clearer view and question your own use.

My parties

I couldn't stand a weekend without partying.

Before the party, I get in the mood with beers and spliffs.

I can't face the comedown without taking another prouct to ease the effects.

I have already failed to party without substances.

I always take several substances during a party.

When I party, I'm more focused on taking more product than enjoying the one I already took.

Even if I get the effects I'm looking for from a product, I keep taking more...

Even if I am not in the right conditions (depression, tiredness, surroundings...), I use drugs whenever I can...

Whenever I learn about a new product, I want to try it.

I have already experienced debilitating delusions on drugs.

I can't keep count how the products I take during a night.

My everyday life

I have trouble focusing on an activity (work, reading...) and to incorporate new information.

My use overflows parties, the limits I had set.

I run out of energy to do things I used to do before.

I have short term memory problems.

I sometimes do drugs alone.

Studies, work don't motivate me anymore.

The week is tasteless, I'm ony waiting for the weekend.

My social life

My current friends are all users like me; the others have no point, I have nothing to say to them.

My relatives complain about my use.

I gave up on all my activites (cultural, sports) little by little and stopped seeing old friends.

My health

I have trouble sleeping, I regularly take medicine to sleep.

I have lost a lot of weight since I started doing drugs.

I am always tired.

I easily get sick (cold, bronchitis...)

People say I am irritable, sometimes paranoid.

I sometimes get anxiety attacks and I can't figure out why...

My sex life

I have burns, painful ejaculation, infections, frequent gynaecological problems : irregular periods, recurrent vaginal mycoses, irritations, urinary infections...

My sexual performance and desire are downwards.
