[QUOTE="DarkwingPsyduck, post: 694193, member: 20267"] One trait common among every drunk/junkie I have ever spoken to is our inability to appreciate delayed gratification. For us, it is instant gratification, and nothing else matters. This is because we do not.... View our experiences in light of what MIGHT be, but by what it is at this moment. We don't care about tomorrow. Or 5 minutes from our next fix. Everything else is absolutely irrelevant to us. We are the type who would rather be given $100 today, as opposed to $100,000 a month from now. We are a cowardly lot, as well. It's too difficult to man up and accept the pain we cause, so we try our best to bury our heads in the sand. Or play the ol' "finger in the ears, chanting LALALALA" game. Anything we can to escape the consequences of our immense selfishness. I have blacked out plenty. But never on opiates, interestingly enough. Opiates produce a much more euphoric state. We call it "the nod". When we aren't in, but not quiet out, either. We will begin to respond to a question, stop mid sentence, then finish it a minute later. I started partying pretty young, freshmen year in high school. And I blacked out plenty due to inexperience with alcohol. And with benzos. I tried quitting the pills once with Xanax. Got a whole bottle of 'em, and just kept eating them like candy. I do not remember 3 days of my life because of it. Scared my aunt shitless, unfortunately. The odd thing is that it apparently didn't actually help with any of my symptoms. I was still kicking, vomiting, sweating, shaking, etc. But I cannot remember a moment of it, so it may as well not have happened. When I finally ran out, I went out and bought some oxycontin :P.
