Re: ADD and addiction

AMEN – even certain foods make me feel “differently” or more alert, or less alert.

I don’t have any “chemical addictions” to any liquid, solid or powdered substances…..

BUT – I DO wonder sometimes if I don’t have other addictions and just don’t know it……………..

Luckily, I honestly rarely have a drink – and when I do, I limit myself as I don’t like the “out of it” feeling I get, and I do get really stupid acting. I’d be a really “bad drunk” if that’s the right term. Other drugs, etc. – too scary, way too scary. one never knows if you’ll have a simple allergic reaction that can kill. I mean, really, I nearly died from antibiotic shot when I was a kid. I need to know what it is, how it acts, etc. before I’ll even take a prescribed pill.

Oddly enough, when I DO have a beer – or some wine, or whatever, for the first few minutes, I actually think more clearly, and oddly, HEAR better. Then the good effects quickly wear off and I simply feel, well, like I’ve had a drink or two.

I’m to the point I won’t even drive after 1 beer – I’ve got to stop the drink, and it’s got to fully wear off before I’ll sit in the seat. I got really scared a few times a few years ago when I friend and I used to go out and that’s stuck with me.
