This is generally the signal. You know intuitively something needs to change and finally decide to put it out there. Good on you.
I'd personally take at least a month off from any substances including alcohol and see if you can stick to it. If you can't you have an issue.
second this, I had friends who went and did coke a couple times a week for a couple years, but were able to come off it pretty easily and now use 1 or 2 a year if at all
Nothing wrong with wanting to blow out to relieve some stress and have some fun, but as long as you know your limits and you are aware of your feelings.
I would recommend experimenting with psychs if you really "want to find yourself". plus the comedown is nowhere near as bad (if at all on most occasions) comapred with E/molly
Definitely try this.
However, quitting for a month doesn't mean you don't have a problem. Taking a break from drugs/alcohol is sort of like winning a few rounds in the boxing ring. It's good but it doesn't mean the match is over and you're fine.
Idle hands are the Devil's workshop. You need to find new things to do, and change your habits. If you can't correct this, your gf will leave you and you'll end up in a downward spiral...
Hmmm....maybe you need to dig deeper into what's going on here. Are you really using E/Molly to relax? I mean that's pretty fucking extreme man.
You should be pretty relaxed after a few drinks. What's the real reason that you're doing Molly?
How old are you, and are you doing this by yourself? If you're like 25, meh, ok. If you're 35, then this is a problem. This generally seems to pass over time...
WIth any sort of addiction, the eventual route is to not use it. Very hard to hear. A regular person can have those substances once in a while and it's not a big deal. But if an addict has it, certain pathways in your brain get re-ignited and you'll be back into the addiction. In this era, there is no shame whatsoever in not drinking (and certainly not in not doing Molly). You understand this is a problem which is awesome. Now get help & support. I'd suggest a therapist and perhaps community like AA (or some equivalent).
You can beat this and in a year you'll be wondering how it was even a choice between not quitting and quitting. A career in PE is also something you should consider changing -- plenty of jobs you can get with couple years of IB + PE that'll pay you 200k working 60hrs per week (some even at 40hrs per week). Best of luck
