Question by …….: can a drug addict drop a drug entirely for another drug?
like i have this idea for a story, and this junky dude is the protagonist. well this character shows up and offers him something else. it’s not a drug per say, but the protagonist treats it like one for most of the story. the only condition is that he has to work for this character and he has to stop using other drugs. (there’s a reason why, but i don’t want to reveal it here.) he can’t even drink. but he doesn’t have much of an issue transitioning.
is that believable? that he wouldn’t have any problem doing that? just quitting everything cold turkey and not really going through withdrawals because he’s on this other thing?
the “drug” gives him this euphoric sensation that’s unlike any other drug he’s ever done. but it’s different. that’s why he’s doing all of this.
i know it’s far fetched, but i like that stuff. it’s definitely one of my more conservative stories. it’s supposed to be far fetched.    Read more...
