    Just curious what everyone thinks...I have been abusing oxy's for 4 months now and am having alot of difficulty getting myself off of them. When im off of them the withdrawl seems to get worse over time. I've gone a whole week and still have withdrawl.

    Is it a fight for your soul? ...as some have told me.

    I don't feel my soul or see my spirit guide much when im on oxy's. Both my elders that are always around me and spirit guide seem to vanish quite a bit.

    Would I then be considered haunted by a demon or is it the drugs that contain a spirit?

    drugs slow down your metabolism, memory, creativity, judgement, so wouldn't something so bad be considered evil?

    I think marijuana is somewhat different than hard drugs, i'm talking about hard drugs

    Certain drugs definitely seem to catalyze a higher tendency for destructive use and can often elicit very powerful psychological/physical withdrawal symptoms and other negative symptoms that can be categorized as evil or soul destroying. However, I think its naive to make a blanket statement about all drugs in such a way because often other drugs are effectively used to combat the destructive qualities of evil drugs. Furthermore, some drugs have a much lower rate of the type of destructive use we see in 'evil' drugs as well.

    I think you're probably haunted by a tolerance, alteration of neurochemicals and unpleasant withdrawal symptoms more than anything else.

    Some people do feel like it is a very evil substance. Be careful. I would quit.

    I don't believe in souls, demons, or evil, but I can tell you that if those things exist, then oxy is an evil demon that will destroy your soul. The weak link here is you, and your self control, and what's not helping you is your fantasies of "well who's the evil one me or the drug?"

    It doesn't matter dude, stop abusing an addictive drug that can kill you three different ways.

    Call them evil if you wish. But the reality is simply that opioids induce an incredibly unnatural surge of dopamine in the Mesolimbic pathway of the brain which leads to unnatural spikes of euphoria. The drugs are also PHYSICALLY addictive, so it make them damn near impossible to quit.

    But it can be done. Take baby steps. Maybe staying on Suboxone or Methadone is good ENOUGH if you can't handle full sobriety.

    These drugs radically alter processes in the brain to unnatural levels and it is understandable that a person would prefer to experience these unnatural surges of joy 24/7.

    Best of luck.
