Whenever I use a drug that is known to be addictive, I am always VERY cautious about maintaining a healthy relationship with it and keeping a low tolerance. For example, I'm prescribed Xanax to use as needed, and if I have a bad week and end up taking a dose 3 days in a row, I become worried about becoming addicted and I will force myself to not take it for the next week or two, even if it is to the detriment of my mental health. I also treat alcohol and nicotine like this, which is why I've never drank more than 2 days in a row or ever hit a vape or cigarette.

The only medications I take daily are Ambien and cannabis, and even with Ambien I started at 10mg and had anxiety about my tolerance going high too quickly, so I went down to 5mg

Can any of y'all relate?
