Looking for reasons please

This may just be the thoughts of a drug abuser, but what is the point in stopping the abuse?  I make enough money to continue the habit, have no family to damage, and enjoy my time on pills.  I've only been clean 24hours from a 3 year hydrocodone addiction, but I'm looking for a reason to stay with it.  I keep telling myself I'll feel better if I get off them.  I think I'll feel worse knowing that I have to go the rest of my life sober. What do you sober people look forward to?  That is my scariest thought.  What can possibly make you happier than drugs?  Sorry for being pessimistic, cynical, and a general jerk.  Please tell me I'm wrong.  I have to be missing the big picture.  

thank you guys for listening.

i agree with your opinion...i think it's a great thread to keep it up for him and for others with the same questions ..

i hope too he won't dissapear in the space but nevertheless he has got our answers, he has got more than before so that he can make up his mind with HIS answer  ( sooner better than later :) ) But if he disappears for a time  i truly feel that he will remember our words one day or the other..and for the other people just reading..think  pls that THIS is always the best moment to stop and it can be done.

it is our point here ... for staying  here and giving our answers and sharing our experiences... a sort of weed and a good point, i should think :)

I felt a lot like you a year ago. If you continue to use you will look back in a year with such regret. Its amazing how fast this stuff can take over. I never thought it would happen and didnt even see it happening. I still cant believe how fast the spiral sucked me down without even knowing it until it was way too late. You said you have no family to damage, what about YOU?  Maybe you should post a question to all who have been where you are now (which is most of us)---""What  if you could go back to the stage addiction I am at right now, knowing what you know now, What would you do?""   You posted for a reason, and look at all the responses youve gotten. You found this forum early...take full advantage of it.
God bless
