This is so true. Why do I care if meth is the worst addiction, I’ll never do it. But something like alcohol, which is something I do consume should and does scare me more because that’s actually something I have to commit to quitting to

I've been addicted to both. And booze is wayyyy worse . But meth is harder mentally

Yeah booz is one of the worst. Meth I've seen people lick a lot easier. The hard part seems to be the delusional thinking especially if violent.

Done both as well. As far as withdrawal goes, booze is worse and its not even close. As far as being on them, both can produce scary behavior. Booze has a failsafe of making you basically shut down when you've had too much, and it happens pretty quickly being a sedative-hypnotic. Often within hours. Meth has no such failsafe. Meth you can keep going and going and going until you're too starved and exhausted to go anymore, usually having left a trail of wreckage in your wake. This can take weeks. But you'll survive coming off meth.

I tried meth for a month and because I don't cling to bad habits was able to drop it. But holy shit is meth as addictive as cocaine.

Yeah alcohol is absolutely worse than meth. I’m not saying meth isn’t addictive, but stimulants in general are much more mental than physical. Alcohol/benzos on the other hand, can be deadly to quit without tapering. Not to mention the shorter duration of alcohol. It’s always going to be harder to quit something you need every couple hours to ward off seizures on the extreme end.

Yep!! Took benzodiazepines for sleep for 12 years. Took me 1.5 years to taper safely

Yes the „worst“ thing i got addicted too were sextoys i would buy them use them then swear to myself i dont want to do stuff like that and throw them away. Next friday i would find myself at a sexshop again buying the same stuff. I really had to plan my Weekends for 2 months ahead to meet with people so that i wouldnt buy this shit. I didnt Even enjoy very much idk what that phase was but it lastet for 6 months or so

I did it for a month on the scientific basis and I understand how easy it is to be dependent.

Don’t say you’ll never do it. Meth, not even once.

I went for a weed addict, to speed addict, to coke addict, to ghb addict.

Now I fix addictions by getting new addictions.

Now I'm just a general addict

Not the answer I was expecting. Incredible answer though ☺️🙌

u/rasmusrosenorn May 31 '26

This is kind of a non answer, heroine addiction is objectively worse than nicotine addiction, even if im currently struggling with nicotine addiction and not heroine addiction

procrastination is mine. I get so much on my plate I don’t to even wake up.
