[horsey]

whats worse to be an alcoholic or a drug addict ?
both are bad right.but after years of studing drugs i gave them up.but recently took it up again.it's just a once in the blue thing you know.but don't want to go to bad habbits again.i started thinking that being drunk was better.but im not quite sure right now.i know this will get deleted prolly but what is worse for a person,alcolhol or drugs ?

i mean im not giving myself excuses,just looking for answers right now.

I would say drugs, because they seem to be more addicting. Drugs like Meth and Crack can do serious damage in a short period of time.

Alcohol isn't good either, but it can be taken in moderation. My family has a bad history with it. And thats one of the main reasons why I don't drink. Alcoholics are hard to live with, straight up. I don't wish it on anyone.

You should think of what's best for you, and for the ones who love you.

i have sense in my head.i know whats wrong and right.but sometimes right can be wrong.im not sure but this thing seems like i can slap myself out of it.im not really hooked on anything but life right now and not looking to be.

[Genesis]

Drugs obviously. More addictive, more damaging.

it's been like 6 years and when my dog was put to sleep.i had fallen back.but since then just dabbling with some things.i can only hope it ends as fast as it started back up.im not saying running to the nearest rehabs or anything.

I would have to say I think you need some help to deal with why you are doing this to yourself. ?Both alcohol & drugs are damaging, when not done in moderation. ?Serious drugs are probably more addictive, I would think, but just as bad as alcoholism, when you are only hurting yourself. ?A "once in the blue thing" can become an everyday thing, but I have a feeling you know that already. ?Neither one is a better choice because of the damage it does to you and those who love & care about you. ? I don't even know who you are or anything about you, but my thoughts are with you right now. ?It's got to be a very difficult situation to be in. ?And hopefully, there will be support for you, here. ? ? ? ? ?

If you are an addictive personality, they are both bad.

If you really think you need help, go to an AA meeting or NA meeting where people can really help you. People who can relate to you in that regard.

NOT a GnR message board.


My .02 cents.

[jimmythegent]

alcohol is a drug and a potent one at that

both can be abused and as bad as one another I guess

drinking can be very destructive as can drugs (especially the harder variety)

[Evolution]

Both are bad, but drug habits hits your finance harder.

[noonespecial]

my two cents:
I think they are both "bad" when overdone...alcohol tends to get a lighter rap cause it's legal and it's more socially acceptable to be an asshole on alcohol than on coke, crack, pot, whatever...alcohol access is much easier (which makes it a bit more dangerous for those who tend to over-indulge a good thing) than drugs--you can ALWAYS find alcohol , whereas if your waiting for your dealer, you're waiting for your dealer...both are bad in excess

You don't need to do any of it.

But in my experience in social services, working with various substance abusers, I can say that the drug addicts were almost always far worse off than the alcoholics.  Physically, emotionally, financially, they were the most pathetic.  They even smell worse. 

So if you don't want to end up in one of my facilities, I recommend getting some real help, if you can't just stop on your own.  Of course even if you can stop, some decent therapy would be a good idea so you can learn to cope with life.

How can you say if either are 'worse' than each other.  Both from a habit outlook breed the same problems and issues.  Its an addiction thats the problem not the source of it. 

The main difference is that its socially more acceptable to have a drink problem than a drug one.

Both are bad, but worst is drugs i think its more addicted, as for alcohol is quiecker to let it go.

[fieldsy]

Both are bad, but worst is drugs i think its more addicted, as for alcohol is quiecker to let it go.

And what proof have you to back up this statement?  How is alchohol any easier to 'let it go' then drugs?  If anything alchohol is more readily avaliable to an addict because it is sold in most shops and for the most part, a lot cheaper.

Families have been ripped apart by both things and one thing is sure, not one is easy to stop.  Not one is worse than the other.

it depends on what drugs you're talking about.

alcohol is much better than drugs (it's not even close), UNLESS you are talking about pot. i still think alcohol is not as bad as pot, but you could make an argument about it.

I think you should put both down... I'm not sure if you're aware of this, but they've been making you constantly post back-to-back...

[Eazy E]

the drugs and alcohol, that is... they are making you post back-to-back often....
