I'm really tempted to abuse a stimulant. I justify it in my head, because stimulants do not make me delusional. I get really dangerous when I'm delusional.
Stimulants can give energy, euphoria, lack of need for food or sleep, and make it easier to concentrate. However, if I don't stay sober, it will lead to other things and destroy my life.
Some stimulants actually cause depression by destroying the body's ability to have the correct amount of dopamine when doing pleasurable activities, so people eventually will need the stimulant to feel pleasure or joy.
Not to mention, they can be extremely expensive. And being sleep deprived or not eating healthy can indeed lead to delusions or hallucinations. Put sobriety first in all things or you will have jails, institutions, or death.

Its just tough staying on the program.I got an offer today to work at home answering the phone lines at night and making appointments with people who are paying to have kinky sex with BDSMers. I want to do it so bad it makes good money. But if I do there goes my sobriety I cant do it. I'm keeping my roofing appointments setting jobs.But this thing is tough, its tough to say no to my addiction.
Women sex addicts do not have to spend one red sent on sex addiction and many of us can make money with it. So we don't hit financial bottoms. Its hard.

Thank you so much for confessing that inspiration and temptation. It is extremely difficult. I'm so glad that I almost have a month of sobriety now. That first month can be very difficult.
That is an interesting job you have.

I'm having severe pain due to my acting out. I have to see a gynecologist to get checked out and I have a UTI infection. But I'm working out got to take an 8 minutes walk yesterday and it helps with the pain. Working out is good for getting rid of my cravings for sex too, withdrawels. I imagine it works for alcohol with drawels too, might be a good idea to add it to your routine if your having a hard time staying sober.
